La fiche Ce qu’est ce système, d’où il vient, qui le met en œuvre et pour quels modules de Vigil il est pertinent — avec les éléments sur lesquels repose chacun de ces points.
Fiche
Pertinence pour les conflits
Ceci est la fiche unique du catalogue pour ce système. Il est pertinent pour le module ci-dessous ; le Force Atlas de chaque module montre comment il y est employé.
Opérateurs
Ukraine: Supplied by the United Kingdom from May 2023 and by France from July 2023, integrated on Ukraine's Su-24 fleet; a further French batch was announced in January 2024. Stocks are not published and are not stated here.
Rôle sur le champ de bataille
Standoff precision strike against hardened and high-value fixed targets: headquarters, ship repair yards, ammunition depots and bridges beyond the reach of rocket artillery, launched from Su-24 aircraft flying inside Ukrainian airspace.
Points forts
A penetrating warhead and terrain-following, low-level flight that make it effective against bunkers and dry docks; a proven record from the September 2023 strike on the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol onward, with interceptions rarely documented.
Limites
Small stocks that depend entirely on British and French decisions and on a production line whose output is not published; a launch platform, the Su-24, of which Ukraine has few and which Russia hunts; and targeting inside Russia that was politically restricted until November 2024. Each launch is a scarce round spent, and the number remaining is not public.
Pertinence pour les campagnes
Dérivé : une organisation participant à ces campagnes porte une association d’équipement typée avec ce système. Ce n’est pas la même chose qu’un emploi documenté du système dans la campagne elle-même.
- La campagne ukrainienne de frappes dans la profondeur Depuis 2022
via Air Force (Documented, high confidence)
- La campagne stratégique contre le système électrique ukrainien Since October 2022
via Air Force (Documented, high confidence)
Identification visuelle
A boxy, angular missile with a square cross-section, folding wings that deploy after launch and a ventral engine intake; carried under the wing of a Su-24. Rarely seen except in launch footage and debris.
Emploi documenté dans les conflits
In documented Ukrainian use since May 2023: the Sevastopol headquarters strike of September 2023, strikes on Kerch ferry and repair facilities and on occupied-territory command posts through 2024; the first strikes inside Russia in November 2024 after the British decision; and, according to reporting in 2026, strikes on a Donetsk-area launch site in March 2026 and on the Kremniy El plant in Bryansk on 10 March 2026. Supply remains the constraint: reporting on remaining stocks is estimate, not source, and is not reproduced here.
