MBDA used Eurosatory 2026 to push its land-strike portfolio beyond the current MdCN family, unveiling the Land Cruise Missile Mk II and pairing it with the Deluge one-way effector. The missile keeps the turbojet, folding-wing architecture and Naval Group Sylver A70 compatibility, while adding a refined nose section, updated avionics and a new infrared seeker for better survivability in contested airspace.
The land version remains tied to a range of more than 1,000 km, with the Mk II aimed at higher lethality and improved navigation through hybrid GNSS/INS and electro-optical terrain reference. Deluge adds cheap mass at roughly 120 kg-class, with a range above 500 km and a speed near 400 km/h, giving operators a saturation option ahead of a 2030 in-service target.
