Storm Shadow Missiles: Why UK need US go ahead



“War is too important to be left to the military.”

  1. All wars (not battles!) throughout the whole history of warfare have one thing in common and it's not the obvious one. It's that each war is different to the last one! As Einstein said; " I don't know what weapons will be used in World War 3 but I know World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones!" There's no such thing as a combat crystal ball!

  2. What a pathetic little cheerleader for war , he would advocate it's better to cut winter fuel allowance and let an estimated 4K to die of hypothermia joining the 50 K that die annually in the UK in order to elongate a war that's of no threat to the UK , what a repugnant reprobate.🤡&💩

  3. No sir, making these decisions is extremely simple. The complications only exist when leadership from the U.S. (Where I am) and the UK attempt to stand half in and half out of the conflict. If we are in, be in all the way. If we do not find the risk/reward favorable, STAY OUT all the way!!!

  4. War is complicated and not to be meddled with.storm shadows are not sufficient to counter Russia as they can be shot down.atacms on the other hand has a better chance of hitting the target.but there are ramifications.eg Russia could supply their formidable anti ship missiles to Western adversaries.which in turn could hit aircraft carriers thereby killing a large number of sailors upto 4000.so there will be a price to pay.

  5. My understanding is that the storm shadow uses the new military GPS channels that approximately half of the block 3 satellites have. Extremely difficult to jam, because the satellites use a higher power antenna and must be aimed at the area. In other words, the USA must participate and aim the satellites at the target area. Maybe it's time to upgrade Galileo.
