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?

Some of ‘em go pretty fast, but maybe that’s not consistent with “cruise.”

Enormously improved guidance systems, no small thing. And the later blocks allow re-targeting during the mission, which may not be needed often but sure is a handy feature if new intel comes in while the missiles are enroute.

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.

So we’re blowing up sovereign nations to show off our new hardware?I would have preferred to use all Tomahawks, they do the job just fine, for less, and now Russia knows how they fly.

I find it shocking that so many missiles had to be used to take out a single Research and Development Center.

and the fact that they can now be launched from aircraft? The range is a lot longer than the aircraft launched antiship cruise missile deployed by the Nazis. Henschel Hs 293.

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?
