Harpoon anti-ship missiles are also used from coastal defence land-based launchers. The photo shows a launcher on the chassis of a Scania 113M/320 of the Danish Armed Forces firing a (presumably) Harpoon Block 1C missile (05.09.2000).


The source of the photo is unclear - some sites attribute it to the Danish Ministry of Defence, others to Boeing (this source is referred to by sites that use the photo as illustrative in connection with the contract for the delivery of RGM-84L-4 missiles to Taiwan).


A final note - it was these kits that Denmark offered to Ukraine in May 2022 as military aid to defend against Russian aggression.
