La Marine nationale réussit son premier tir de missile antinavire, prouesse historique !
A historic turning point has just been reached by the Senegalese armed forces. For the first time, the National Navy has successfully launched an anti-ship missile from a high seas patrol vessel (PHM), marking a major technological advance and the strengthening of the national fleet.
This successful test, conducted within the framework of the Naval Strategy 2050, embodies Senegal's ambition to build a modern, high-performing, and fully operational navy. "This success is the result of a clear vision, unwavering commitment, and rigorous preparation," praised Commander Ndiaye, head of communications for the Senegalese Navy. He emphasized the "technical mastery and professionalism" of the crews, which demonstrate the high level of competence achieved by the Senegalese forces in a field long reserved for major naval powers.
A strengthened deterrent capability
This successful firing strengthens Senegal's ability to defend its strategic interests in a maritime area of nearly 200,000 km², rich in fisheries resources and hydrocarbons. Faced with the resurgence of threats—illegal fishing, maritime trafficking, piracy, and energy issues—the Senegalese Navy now possesses credible deterrent capabilities and increased operational autonomy.
A powerful symbol for the fiftieth anniversary
The event comes at a highly symbolic time: the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the National Navy and Armed Forces Day. Two anniversaries that recall the progress made since 1975. "This achievement illustrates the maturity of our institution and our commitment to defending Senegal's maritime sovereignty," stated Commander Ndiaye.
A modernized fleet for expanded surveillance
The new offshore patrol vessels, equipped with modern weapon systems, embody this evolution. They will allow for extended surveillance of the exclusive economic zone and ensure a rapid response to any threat.
With this strategic advance, Senegal has established itself as a key maritime player in West Africa. True to its motto "At sea, for the homeland," the Senegalese Navy is opening a new chapter in its history: that of a sovereign, modern force resolutely committed to defending national interests on all the world's oceans.

Merci macky sall
Ok mais attention à ne pas confondre navire de migrants à celle des pirates.
Féliciter le Président Macky Sall qui a doté le Sénégal de ces navires lance missiles, les premiers de la marine nationale : les OPV 58 S (Waalo, Niani, le Cayor) sans oublier le Shaldag MK V qui peut aussi lancer des missiles anti navires, faisant de ce pays la première puissance navale sous régionale. En attendant, l'inauguration du premier port militaire du Sénégal à la Rade de Bel Air. La gestion d'un pays, ce n'est pas de l'amateurisme ni du folklore.
"Vision 2050" laissez moi rire... Vous avez amenez rien de nouveau, vous n'avez aucun projet a part dilapider nos maigres ressources et avoir 04 femmes et maîtresses.
Merci Macky
Commentaires précédents : c’est Macky qui a créé l’armée sénégalaise ? Pauvres idiots !
On te parle d'un tir de missile réussi, pauvre con. Quand Macky prenait pouvoir, deux seuls grands navires pouvaient véritablement conduire des opérations navales, le ndjambour et le PHM le Fouta. Il a fait acquérir à la Marine, le Ferlo, le Kédougou, le Fouladou, les 4 Shaldags, les 3 OPV 58 dont l'un a procédé au tir de missile anti navire,
Sisi je suis un gros con, parce que Macky a acheté le matériel avec l’argent de son héritage. Il peut venir à l’inauguration n’est-ce pas ?
Une économie se protège! Disait Gbagbo
Ce sont des dépréciés mentaux. Laissez-les rêver avec leur projet 2050 . Macky Sall a lancé la stratégie nationale en 2012 .
