If we want to draw a parallel with weapons system of a century or so ago, the penguin is like the "secondary battery" available to helos, the main being the harpoon and the tertiary these navalisedhellfire.... I guess everyone can agree that a penguin is an overkill against pirate skiffs and iranian large RHIB and similiar types of pousserie Navale. Can any helicopters actually launch Harpoon? Global Security's page on the AGM-84 suggests not:http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...ons/agm-84.htm. I remember seeing a theoretical Sea Apache drawing with Harpoon loaded, but obviously that never came to pass. |
