M4 (missile)

The M4 was a French Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) deployed on the nuclear Le Redoutable class submarines (except the Redoutable herself, which was not reffited).

They entered service on the 1 May 1985. They were the first French MIRV-capable nuclear missiles, with six 150 kilotonne warheads.

They were replaced by the improved M45 SLBM missile which is currently in active service aboard the Le Triomphant class submarines.
