Description
The Popeye Turbo SLCM is a Submarine-Launched Cruise Missile powered by a liquid fuel turbojet and featuring an stretched body which is 650mm in diameter. Israel developed this missile due to the refusal by the United States to provide the Tomahawk cruise missile. The Popeye Turbo SLCM is equipped with a 200 kilotons nuclear warhead and has a maximum range of 1,500 kilometers. This retaliatory weapon is deployed by the Israeli Navy Dolphin class conventional attack submarines. The two boats commissioned in 2013 and 204 feature four 650mm torpedo tubes suitable for the Popeye Turbo SLCM.
