The Apache system is at the base of the [[SCALP EG]] concept, notably for the aerodynamics and the stealth feature. The [[SCALP EG]] also has a different propulsion system as well as a different [[warhead]]. While the SCALP uses a single high-penetration [[warhead]], the Apache's effect is obtained by dispersal of 10 [[cluster bomb|cluster]] submunitions. == History == The Apache was the first cruise missile to enter service in the [[French Air Force]] and was first fielded in [[2001]]. 100 missiles were delivered between 2001 and 2004. No further deliveries are expected.{{Fact|date=October 2007}} == See also == * [[Storm Shadow|SCALP EG]] * [[BLU-107 Durandal]] * [[Cruise missile]] {{Aviation lists}} [[Category:Air-to-surface missiles of France|MBDA Apache]] [[Category:French Air Force guided missiles|MBDA Apache]] [[Category:Cruise missiles of France]] {{Missile-stub}} [[de:Apache (Lenkwaffe)]] [[fr:Apache (arme)]] [[it:Apache (missile)]] [[ms:MBDA Apache]]
