For our military hardware minded a quick question.

What Israeli sub launched cruise missile would have a range of 2,810 miles?

If I’m not mistaken don’t U.S. sub launched Tomahawks only have a range of 1,000 miles?

They specifically said cruise missile, not a SLBM.

I wonder if they meant 2810 kilometers? The Tomahawk has a range of 2500 klicks.

In the last few months there have been many stories of Israeli subs and military ships traversing the Suez in to the Red Sea which leads to the Arabian Sea and great access to Iranian targets.
Which may lead one to also think of those other stories stating Many Muslim countries do NOT care for Iran to get nukes. One of which is Egypt another is Saudi Arabia,the ones bankrolling the whole shindig.

From the other thread

U212s are designed for a crew of 35, have a range of 4,500 kilometres (2,810 miles)

The range is that of the sub not the missle.
