Country of origin United Kingdom
ManufacturerBritish Aerospace
The Sea Skua is a British lightweight short-range air-to-surface missile (ASM) designed for use from helicopters against ships. It was primarily used by the Royal Navy on the Westland Lynx. Although the missile is intended for helicopter use, Kuwait employs it in a shore battery and on their Umm Al Maradem (Combattante BR-42) fast attack craft.
The Royal Navy withdrew the missile from active service in 2017. Its replacement, Sea Venom was considerably delayed with full operating capability not expected until 2026.
