DESCRIPTION

The Avro Blue Steel was a British air-launched, rocket-propelled nuclear armed standoff missile, built to arm the V bomber force. It allowed the bomber to launch the missile against its target while still outside the range of surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). The missile proceeded to the target at speeds up to Mach 3, and would trigger within 100 m of the pre-defined target point.Blue Steel entered service in 1963, by which point improved SAMs with longer range had greatly eroded the advantages of the design. A longer-range version, Blue Steel II, was considered, but cancelled in favour of the much longer-range GAM-87 Skybolt system from the US. When development of that system was cancelled in 1962, the V-bomber fleet was considered highly vulnerable. Blue Steel remained the primary British nuclear deterrent weapon until the Royal Navy started operating Polaris ballistic missiles from Resolution-class submarines.El Avro Blue Steel era un misil de combate armado nuclear lanzado por aire británico, propulsado por cohetes, construido para armar a la fuerza de bombarderos V. Le permitió al bombardero lanzar el misil contra su objetivo mientras aún estaba fuera del alcance de los misiles tierra-aire (SAM). El misil avanzó hacia el objetivo a velocidades de hasta Mach 3, y se dispararía dentro de los 100 m del punto objetivo predefinido.Blue Steel entró en servicio en 1963, momento en el cual los SAM mejorados con mayor alcance habían erosionado en gran medida las ventajas del diseño. Se consideró una versión de mayor alcance, Blue Steel II, pero se canceló a favor del sistema GAM-87 Skybolt de mucho más largo alcance de los EE. UU. Cuando se canceló el desarrollo de ese sistema en 1962, la flota de bombarderos V se consideró altamente vulnerable. Blue Steel siguió siendo el principal arma disuasoria nuclear británica hasta que la Royal Navy comenzó a operar misiles balísticos Polaris desde submarinos de clase Resolution.
