Historical Description of AGM-142 Popeye

The AGM-142 Popeye is a medium-range air-to-ground guided missile originally developed by the Israeli company Rafael in cooperation with the USA. The missile debuted in combat in the 1990s during Israel Air Force operations and was also used by American B-52H bombers during and after the Cold War. The Popeye was widely used for precision strikes against key ground targets during Middle Eastern conflicts. It is characterized by high accuracy and the ability to carry a variety of warheads, making it a key element in the armament of many air forces into the present day.
