Anti-runway cruise missile From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arme Planante À Charges Éjectables or Apache[1] (/əˈpætʃi/ ə-PATCH-ee, French: [apaʃ]) is a French-developed, air-launched, anti-runway cruise missile manufactured by MBDA France.[2] The SCALP EG missile is based on it,[3] notably featuring similar aerodynamics and stealth. However, the latter has a different propulsion system and carries a single high-penetration warhead instead of the Apache's cluster submunitions.[1][4]
