Argentina's use of the Super Étendard and the Exocet missile during the 1982 Falklands War led to the aircraft gaining considerable popular recognition. [14] Other upgrades at this time included an extensively redesigned cockpit with HOTAS controls, and airframe life-extension work was undertaken; a total of 48 aircraft received these upgrades, at a rate of 15 per year. Huertas, Salvador Mafé. [26], In 2009, an agreement was signed between Argentina and France to upgrade Argentina's remaining fleet of Super Étendards.

Dassault produced the aircraft at a rough rate of two per month. [43], Iraq would typically deploy the Super Étendards in pairs, escorted by Mirage F1 fighters from bases in Southern Iraq; once inside the mission zone, the Super Étendards would search for targets using their onboard radar and engage suspected tankers at long range without visual identification. "France's Superior Standard". This was the motivation of some members of 1.PMCN to build some models related to this topic. The Super Étendard was also operated by Iraq and Argentina, who both deployed the aircraft during wartime. On 26 January 1996, a Super Étendard crashed off the coast of La Ciotat; the pilot ejected.

Etendard IV M and P. In 1955, the engineering department of aeronautics asked Dassault to redesign the Mystère XXIV (Étendard IV), proposed to the Air Force, to turn it into a ” low-altitude fighter and attack seaborne aircraft”. In French service, the Super Étendard is to be replaced by the Dassault Rafale by roughly 2016. Rosen Publishing, 2010.

Draper, Douglas A. [1], The Super Étendard is a development of the earlier Étendard IVM that was originally to have been replaced by a navalised version of the SEPECAT Jaguar (the Jaguar M), until this plan was stalled by political problems, together with problems with operating the Jaguar aboard ships, including handling problems when flying on a single engine and poor throttle response that made landing back on a carrier after an engine failure difficult. - Photo taken at Fairford (FFD / EGVA) in England, United Kingdom on June 30, 1997.

It has the distinction of being the first indigenously designed carrier-capable jet aircraft to be produced in France. The main new weapon of the Super Étendard was the French anti-shipping missile, the Aérospatiale AM 39 Exocet.

[9], A first attempt to attack the British fleet was made on 2 May 1982, but this was abandoned due to in-flight-refuelling problems.
