The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard is a French carrier-borne strike fighter in service with the French and Argentine Navies. A small number were also flown by the Iraqi Air Force for a brief period during the Iran-Iraq War.
It is a development of the earlier Étendard IVM that was originally to have been replaced by a navalised version of the SEPECAT Jaguar, the Jaguar M, until this plan was stalled by political problems. The prototype first flew on 28 October 1974. The French Navy initially ordered 60 of the new model, which were delivered in June 1978 and the Argentinian Navy ordered 14. The Super Étendard had been developed in parallel with a new air-launched version of Aérospatiale's anti-shipping missile, the AM 39 Exocet, and these were supplied to Argentina as well.
At the time of the Falklands War, Argentina had taken delivery of five Super Étendards and five Exocets. All five of the missiles were used during the conflict, with one missile destroying HMS Sheffield and one the supply ship MV Atlantic Conveyor (the Exocet that damaged HMS Glamorgan was a land-launched version).
Five Super Étendards were loaned to Iraq in 1983 while the country waited on deliveries of the Dassault Mirage F1s that had been ordered. These aircraft used Exocets to great success against Iranian tankers in the Persian Gulf before being returned to France in 1985.

Sory man, but we have "Submarine Platform", a high-altitude piece of ground under the sea, wich all on it is our territory. It's marked like a white color in the map, and protected with international laws.
You don't have a big submarine platform, so im sure you didn't learned it on your school.
Cya
wooohh estos super etendard son diferentes a los super etendard que tiene la argentina¿porque?
Puede ser que tengan diferente configuración en los tanques debajo de las alas y diferente pintura, pero siguen siendo Super-Etendards
hombre la pintura es diferente,pero estos superetendard son difernentes a los que tiene la armada argentina,este super etendard tiene la punta mas fina,y el etendard argentino es más estrecho u pequeño,debe de ser porque son de otra decada son de los 70...

Exocet fighters were used in Flakland conflict 1982( Argentinian side )and also Mirage 2000
The Argentine Navy used their last AM39 Exocet missile attempting to attack HMS Invincible on the 30th of May. There are claims the missile struck, however the British have denied this, some citing that HMS Avenger shot it down.
