ANTI-SHIP WEAPON
Another anti-ship weapon is the versatile Hellfire laser-guided missile, which is now mounted on a tripod by the Norwegian military after successful tests. (right) This 100 lb supersonic missile can hit targets over 5000 meters away. Commandos can fire several missiles in a few minutes and cause major damage, especially if they explode missiles stored in a ship's box launchers. Commandos can also release sea mines in ship lanes and port entrances. The explosion of just one mine may shut down all ship activity until minesweepers can check the area. However, unarmed minesweepers are easy targets for commandos as well, so frigates must escort them, which become targets themselves.
