Medium-range air-to-air missile Skyflash Medium-range air-to-air missile Aircraft: Tornado F3

Skyflash Skyflash is a medium-range, all-weather, air-to-air missile able to engage targets at ultra-high or low level in a variety of countermeasure environments. The missile uses semi-active homing, where the launch aircraft illuminates the target and the missile uses its own radar receiver to home on the reflected energy. Although Skyflash is primarily a BVR missile, it can also be employed at shorter ranges to ensure quick reaction times and maximum manoeuvrability after it has been launched.
