Sea SkuaThe Sea Skua is a British radar-guided air-to-surface missile (ASM) that was used by the Royal Navy's Lynx helicopters during the Falklands war. Eight Sea Skuas were fired during the Falklands War, and somewhat amazingly they scored a 100% hit rate, despite some appalling weather conditions (even more amazingly, Sea Skuas were used twelve times during the Gulf War, and achieved a 100% hit rate in that conflict too).
