PDJT promised NEW, Smarter missiles.
Have cruise missiles changed all that much from V-1 days, apart from improved guidance systems, and the fact that they can now be launched from aircraft?
So we’re blowing up sovereign nations to show off our new hardware?
If Assad goes down Syria will go the way of Libya post Kadaffy, with a rabid Erdogen itching to take new ground.
Sooo...
Now all of our REAL enemies will know the actual capabilities of them.
Great.
I find it shocking that so many missiles had to be used to take out a single Research and Development Center.
“Hey, little Rocket Man-—observe and learn!”
New but still subsonic.
If all those stealthy new missiles hit their targets at chemical weapons plants....where are all the dead bystanders? Wouldn’t these explosions create huge clouds of toxic gases?
Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missiles have been in service since 2014.
Its only a matter of time before our enemies start using the same tech on their missiles, and our own missile defense systems will be useless.
The caveat will be expense its far cheaper to send in a single aircraft caring many non-stealth missiles than one stealth missile.
I hope they worked according to specs!
