rail guns and drones.
I thought I had read some articles from several years ago about the Tomahawk being phased out. Now I will have to research for what I thought I read.
Wrote “Buy Ratheon” yesterday...a few times. Looks like folks did.
“Next Generation Land Attack Weapon
NGLAW. Catchy. Will it meet with American Indian approbation, though? “NG” could upset Vietnamese Americans. Gotta tread lightly when naming weapons. There is zero room for cultural appropriation.
What do you do with 4,000 outdated Tomahawks? Imagine a situation where we would need to use half of that supply in a short time.
In the 1991 Iraq War we fired about 600. In the second Iraq war when we invaded, we fired about 900. Interestingly, there have been a number of times since when we have launched salvos of Tomahawks at specific targets, much like we did against the Syrian airfield the other day. It seems we launch them pretty often in salvos of 20 to 50 at a time.
It is an interesting weapon that I am glad is not pointed at me or my peeps.
You hear that Syria and North Korea? The Tomahawk Missile is going away, so get ‘em while they’re hot!
Just because the name is racist!!!!
With the future S.A.M.enironment missiles like the TLAM are going to have to be designed so they are stealthy as well as intelligent.
What goof is a weapon if it can’t penetrate the Air a Defence System?
There goes the Apache helicopters too... racist!!!!
Buying Machete missiles, like the m*zzies use to chop heads off? or is that cultural appropriation?
It still works, let’s spend billions to replace it.
With the money they spend designing, testing, tooling up to build something new, they could buy tens of thousands of them.
We outta use them all. We have many targets in the mideast deserving of them.
Improve on 59 of 61 successes of a very complex and multifaceted system of which one element is the Tomahawk?
probably being replaced with the Peace Pipe Missile.
Perhaps it was a good way to get rid of some missiles.
Are they going to unload some more on the fat little psycho in N Korea?
