Ich halte die Reichweite auch für übertrieben, aber Popeye Turbo SLCM ist jetzt echt kein Geheimnis.

‘Popeye Turbo’ Cruise Missile – the Main Israeli Weapon for a ‘Second Strike’ Capability

By Ami Dor-On

The ‘Federation of American Scientists’ revealed back in 2002 that a missile of 6.5 meters in length had been successfully tested off the coast of Sri Lanka. The tested missile could reach a range of 1500 km and was capable of carrying a nuclear plutonium based warhead weighing 200 Kg. The test was conducted in the presence of American observers. The U.S. has since purchased 200 missiles of this kind from Israel for installation on heavy bombers like the B-52.
