This one I think
The "Martel missile" can refer to two distinct systems: the historic AS.37 Martel (a joint Franco-British anti-radar and TV-guided missile from the Cold War era) and the modern Martlet (Lightweight Multi-role Missile) (a UK laser-guided weapon used by the Royal Navy since 2021 and supplying to Ukraine). The AS.37 Martel was a large, heavy missile developed in the 1960s, while the modern Martlet is a much smaller, 13kg missile designed for fast-attack craft and air defense.
