Excellent work.
I know, but I do not know how a Popeye turbo SLCM look like, the size or the length of the missile.Rainmaker wrote:Fantastic work. These vessels have been widely reported to be capable of launching the Popeye Turbo, an indigenous Israeli SLCM which is rumoured to be nuclear-capable. It would be interesting to see this depicted although sources are understandably sketchy at best.

Feel free to provide me a drawing and I will add to it.
http://fas.org/nuke/guide/israel/missile/popeye-t.htmThe Popeye Turbo missile is probably similar to if not identical with the Israeli submarine-launced cruise missile carried on the Dolphin-class submarines. The baseline Popeye missile with a range of 45 miles has a diameter of 21 inches, and is nearly 16 feet long. For comparison, the American MK-48 heavy torpedo is 21 inches in diameter, and 19 feet long, while the BGM-109 Tomahawk SLCM is 20.4 inches in diameter and 20.5 feet long [including the booster motor], and the Russian SS-N-21 SLCM is similar in configuration and dimensions to the American Tomahawk.
Isn't that the AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER?heuhen wrote:
