The Dassault-Breguet Super Ã‰tendard (Ã‰tendard is French for "battle flag") is a French carrier-borne strike fighter aircraft designed by Dassault-Breguet for service with the French Navy. The aircraft is an advanced development of the Ã‰tendard IVM. The Super Ã‰tendard first flew in October 1974 and entered French service in June 1978. French Super Ã‰tendards have served in several conflicts such as the Kosovo War, the War in Afghanistan and the military intervention in Libya.

The Super Ã‰tendard was also operated by Iraq and Argentina, who both deployed the aircraft during wartime. The Super Ã‰tendard was used by Iraq to attack oil tankers and merchant shipping in the Persian Gulf during the Iraq-Iran War. Argentina's use of the Super Ã‰tendard and the Exocet missile during the 1982 Falklands War led to the aircraft gaining considerable popular recognition. In French service, the Super Ã‰tendard is to be replaced by the Dassault Rafale by roughly 2016.The Super Ã‰tendard is a development of the earlier Ã‰tendard IVM which been developed in the 1950s. The Ã‰tendard IVM was originally to have been replaced by a navalised version of the SEPECAT Jaguar, designated as the Jaguar M; however the Jaguar M project was stalled by a combination of political problems and issues experienced during trial deployments onboard carriers. Specifically, the Jaguar M had suffered handling problems when being flown on a single engine and a poor throttle response time that made landing back on a carrier after an engine failure difficult.In 1973, all development work on the Jaguar M was formally cancelled by the French government.The original intention of the French Navy was to order a total of 100 Super Ã‰tendards, however the order placed was for 60 of the new model with options for a further 20; further budget cuts and an escalation in the aircraft's per unit price eventually led to only 71 Super Ã‰tendards being purchased.Dassault began making deliveries of the type to the French Navy in June 1978.
