an exocet is a widly used missilegenerly by the navy in sea to air combat, but also in ground to ground combat. Not commonly used with in the european union, although france still have a fleet. uses an advanced timing mechanism allowing the warhead to explode within nano seconds after impact, allowing the warhead to penetrate its target and blowing it from inside rather than making a spattering on the outside. the missile can travel at mach 0.9, just tipping the sound barrier. hopped that helped
