The Dassault Super-Étendard is a French attack and fighter aircraft, built by Dassault, intended to be embarked on board a carrier -planes. Successor to the Étendard IV, 85 units were produced and put into service by the French Navy and Argentina.
This Super-Étendard is in fact an Étendard IV with a new ATAR 8K50 reactor (an ATAR 9K50 without afterburner), entirely modified avionics including in particular a new Agave radar requiring modification of the nose, and a new wing with improved high-lift devices.
Their withdrawal from service was announced in June 2014, to take effect in the summer of 2016. The last catapulting of a Super-Étendard of the 17F, piloted by its flotilla commander, took place on March 16, 2016. The aircraft is no longer embarked on the Charles de Gaulle since that date. After participating in a final airshow in Biscarosse on May 22, they were officially withdrawn from service following a ceremony which took place on July 12, 2016 at the Landivisiau naval aeronautics base.
The SUEs are still in service with the Argentine Navy which seemed interested in acquiring others. The gradual replacement until 2015 of the French naval aviation SEM by the Rafale M could allow Argentina to take over the 54 remaining aircraft but at the end of 2015, this is no longer relevant.
On May 15, 2018, Argentine President Mauricio Macri gave the green light for the purchase of five Super-Étendard for the Argentine Navy for an amount of nearly 12 million euros. After long delays due to late payments from Argentina, the five ex-SEMs were delivered in April 2019. However, they never made operational flights due to the lack of ejectors due to an embargo British. On May 17, 2023, the Argentine Minister of Defense officially decided to no longer attempt to put them back into service.
In June 2024 Javier Milei, Argentine President, is in negotiations to deliver the five Super-Étendard to Ukraine.
