GABRIEL III/AS
AIR-LAUNCHED ANTI-SHIP MISSILE







The Israeli Gabriel III/AS is an advanced offshoot of the original Gabriel ship-to-ship missile system.  The original Gabriel was a small, canister fired sea skimmer, designed to attack enemy vessels at wavetop level, making its approach extremely hard to detect.  This newer, air-launched version is larger, with a range of 37 miles, and carries a high-explosive warhead weighing 331 lbs.  The guidance system of the Gabriel III/AS enables it to fly so low that it must be pre-set according to the current size of the waves.
THE LAUNCH PAD's sleek kit of the Gabriel III/AS is based on a rescaled version of a Plan Pak we offered in 1993.  Our kit version features our usual high-quality parts, clear and easy-to-follow instructions, and a brightly colored metallized Mylar parachute for sure recoveries.  Details have been enhanced, making this either a fine sport-flying model or an attractive display piece.  Now rated for AeroTech "E" powered flights!
