British Air Force Achieve Milestone with First Successful Airborne Test of SPEAR 3 Cruise Missile



The British Royal Air Force and Royal Navy have reached a milestone in missile technology with the successful trial of the SPEAR 3 precision-guided missile. Launched from a Typhoon jet at the Vidsel Test Range in Sweden, this cutting-edge missile demonstrates long-range, high-precision strike capabilities. With a range of over 100 km, the SPEAR 3 is designed for precision air-to-surface attacks, targeting mobile, defended, and relocatable threats. Integrated with the F-35B Lightning II, it enhances the UK’s strike capability, providing operational flexibility from land bases and aircraft carriers. This development strengthens the UK’s defense strategy and technological edge.

  2. Dommage pour les anglais qu'ils soient obligés d'acheter Américain en participant à minima à sa fabrication mais nullement à la conception, le fabricant LM américain lui est très satisfait de vendre au prix fort un Tomahawk modifier pour quelques dollars de plus!
