The Dassault Etendard IV M is a French carrier-based fighter-bomber that was developed in the late 1950s and entered service in 1962. It was designed to perform various missions, such as air superiority, ground attack, reconnaissance, and nuclear strike. The Etendard IV M was equipped with a single SNECMA Atar 8B turbojet engine, which gave it a maximum speed of Mach 1.4 and a range of 1,500 km. The aircraft had a swept-wing configuration and a tailless delta design, which improved its maneuverability and stability at high speeds.
The Etendard IV M could carry a variety of weapons, including cannons, rockets, bombs, missiles, and nuclear bombs. It also had a radar and an infrared sensor for navigation and targeting. The Etendard IV M served with the French Navy until 1991, when it was replaced by the Dassault Super Etendard. It participated in several conflicts, such as the Suez Crisis, the Algerian War, the Six-Day War, the Yom Kippur War, and the Gulf War. The Etendard IV M was also exported to Argentina and India, where it saw combat in the Falklands War and the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.
