Martin Pescador

     Notes:  The Martin Pescador (Kingfisher in Spanish) is an ASM that is primarily meant to take down ships, but is also useful against land targets.  It can be fired from helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft.  It borrows heavily from the US Bullpup, including the simple radio command with joystick control in the cockpit.  Though the missile was shown as early as 1979, none were used in the 1982 Falklands War, and the missile has not been seen much.  Acquisition may have been slowed or stopped by budgetary problems.
