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.

“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What do you do with 4,000 outdated Tomahawks?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.

When the next generation "Tomahawk Missile"comes out, that will put intense fear in all future foes call it the "Comanche Missile".

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?

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.

the key elements of that weapon will be its increased lethality, survivability beyond what Tomahawk brings today

Improve on 59 of 61 successes of a very complex and multifaceted system of which one element is the Tomahawk?

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?
