Killing ships from the air is fun and easy. Billy Mitchell would weep with joy.
Killing ships could be fun and easy:
A new, relatively cheap precision-guided air-launched stand-off munition the U.S. Air Force is working on could be employed against ships with the help of seeker technology from the service’s Quicksink program. The Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM), under development primarily for Ukraine, is otherwise shaping up to be a highly modular design, variants of which could be optimized for use against other target types.
These weapons would be useful for planes on land air bases. Assuming they are not simply static, unprotected strips of concrete with a wind sock.
Marines may be wondering just what the ef they are doing lugging around short-range anti-ship missiles at the ass ends of nowhere.
