The ASM-11 Sirena is an Inyurstan subsonic anti-ship missile. Known for its light weight and large number of versatile variants, the Sirena is one of the most widely produced and exported missiles in the Inyurstan arsenal.
Overview
With a baseline weight of 375kg, and a base length of 3.6m, the ASM-11 can be carried by both helicopters and fixed wing aviation. Later models were adapted to launch from trucks and surface ships.
A wide variety of guidance options are available, though in most cases an active radar guidance is used. During the Lolloh-Ruol Wars, TV-guidance grew in popularity among naval aviation crews for several reasons, including: 1) better discretion against passive decoys and maritime clutter, 2) the ability to manually direct the missile onto a specific section of the ship.
