After a corridor to the city was established , Varela prepared to attack Malaga . But then , the Republican Army launched an attack in order to recover Córdoba . The offensive . The Republican force , led by the general Miaja , was composed of 3 , 000 men , mainly regular troops , civil guards , militiamen from Madrid and local volunteers .

AA . 20 The AA . 20 was a French air - to - air missile , developed by Nord Aviation , and was one of the first such missiles adopted into services in Western Europe . Production began at Chatillon , France in 1956 . Approximately 6 , 000 missiles of the type were produced , remaining in service until 1960 . Development . The development of the AA . 20 missile began in 1953 , when the French government placed a contract with SFECMAS , subsequently merged into Nord Aviation . Developed alongside the SS . 10 anti - tank missile , it was designated the Type 5103 . The project ' s goals were simple ; the AA . 20 was always regarded as a stepping stone to a more advanced missile , which would materialise as the R . 530 . Description . The AA . 20 was command guided , using a similar system to that used by Nord ' s anti - tank missiles , with the missile being steered visually from the launching aircraft . Angled , fixed wings imparted a steady roll rate , while a gyroscope provided information on the orientation of the missile to the control mechanism . At launch , a twin solid rocket booster fired to bring the missile up to speed , after which a single solid - fueled sustainer rocket maintaied speed following burnout of the booster . Four interrupter blades , placed around the sustainer motor ' s nozzle , provided steering , while a flare mounted on the rear of the missile aided in visual tracking for guidance . The AA . 20 ' s warhead was a blast - fragmentation type , detonated by a proximity fuze set to trigger the warhead at a distance of from the target . The range of the missile was approximately . The command guidance of the AA . 20 allowed for it to be used in a secondary role as an air - to - surface missile , although it also meant the missile could not be used at night or in bad weather . AA . 25 . Aimed at addressing the major flaws of the AA . 20 , specifically the fact that the missile couldn ' t be used at night or in poor weather , the French developed te AA . 25 , which was essentially a radar - beam riding version of the AA . 20 , using the target - tracking beam of the CSF Cyrano Ibis radar fitted to the Mirage III C . Many AA . 20 missiles were converted to AA . 25 standard . A further version of the missile , designated the AA . 26 , with Semi - active homing was planned but the competing R . 511 missile was adopted instead .
