The Arme Planante À Charges Éjectables or Apache (/əˈpætʃi/ ə-PATCH-ee, French: [apaʃ]) is a French-developed, air-launched, anti-runway cruise missile manufactured by MBDA France. The SCALP EG missile is based on it, notably featuring similar aerodynamics and stealth. However, the latter has a different propulsion system and carries a single high-penetration warhead instead of the Apache's cluster submunitions.
