explication


Explanation:
to pack a good punch : avoir du punch, frapper fort, cogner dur (dictionnaires bilingues)

close-in : reprend l'idée de "short range" et signifie "rapproché" en langage militaire

Dans le glossaire OTAN bilingue on a "the close-in" = "zone rapprochée"
http://www.nato.int/docu/stanag/aap006/aap-6-2007.pdf

Autres utilisations de close-in dans ce dictionnaire interarmées : http://books.google.fr/books?id=z4SRGeI67TkC&pg=PA74&lpg=PA7...


Donc le missile est certes de courte portée, mais il est puissant/efficace sur les cibles proches/rapprochées

Notes to answerer
Asker: Merci Stéphanie. J'ai utilisé les memes références que celles que vous proposez. J'ai trouvé "to pack a punch" frapper avec beaucoup de force.
