The AGM-12 (Bullpup) was an American air-to-surface tactical command guided missile first entering operations in 1959. The original AGM-12A was a solid-propellant rocket armed with a standard 113 kg bomb. The AGM-12B was a developed version for the US Navy and had an improved high-explosive warhead and was carried by A-4 attack aircraft. The AGM-12C was a further development with a liquid-propellant rocket and a larger conventional warhead. The AGM-12D version was powered by a liquid-propellant and could be fitted with either a conventional or nuclear warhead. The AGM-12B had a range of 11 km and a flight speed of Mach 1.8, the AGM-12C a range of 16.5 km.
