Tomahawk Cruise Missile Test
The legendary Tomahawk Cruise missile is a guided missile launched from warships or submarines, and here’s how the US Navy tests one of the most reliable and cost effective missiles in its arsenal.
The cost, reputation, and long range capacity make the Tomahawk perfect for training sailors in real-world combat scenarios. They cost about $1,5 to $1.8 million each, which sounds like a lot but actually is on the low end for missiles, especially when compared to hypersonic missiles that may cost up to $106 million each.
Despite being in service for almost 40 years, the Tomahawk is less susceptible to jamming than most cruise missiles, it can update its location in real time, and it can accurately attack from 1,500 miles away from targets with its high precision internal guidance system that provides accuracy to within 16 feet of its designated target.
That guy’s face at the end is probably our expression seeing a million dollars missile launching for the first time
bogos binted?
Haha
And seeing someone else’s career end because of a malfunction due to error🤣🤣
Bubba gump?
Love the look on the Sailor’s faces as the missile launches. I remember that feeling very well.
@game rash And you’d be dishonorably discharged lol.
@john sherby why is it weird its Tax payers money and he also gets paid with Tax payers money. i will launch all the Cruise Missile if i dont have to pay for it.
You remember it when you’re a 12 year old on YouTube?
I was just thinking it’s gotta feel weird to launch 1.5 million dollars away with the press of a button
Co
“That may seem like a lot of money, but it’s just a little more than most people will make in a lifetime”
@alex rogers well, they shoot them at bad guys. But the damn things make a big splash, so civilian casualties a certainly a thing
That’s sad and sobering.
@Nick H1999 Good thing they’re so versatile that they work on all the innocent civilians and bystanders we shoot them at too
Well, it’s designed to take out much more valuable targets. Like grounded planes, tanks and other target. The fact that they have been used on dirt huts, was not it’s initial purpose.
I mean 1.5m can get you atleast 5 tanks atleast 50 men and 3 afvs in just one blow so price per Performance is pretty good
@Squirrel Gaming #Squirrel legit I don’t get his comment it makes no sense
@game rash you don’t know how modern wars are fought do you?
@ツMelxn he means it can destroy 3 tanks in one strike
@elio hernandez bad grammar
@game rash you has no English
Man I’m retired military and I knew the Sword missile is old but I didn’t know the Tomahawk is 40 years old….now I feel old. Damnit.
“Especially when compared to hypersonic missiles…”. You’re kind of misleading your audience here. Hypersonics are a terrible choice to compare against because they’re such an outlier. Your video suggests that a Tomahawk is a mere 1% the cost of your average missile, which is very untrue.
Hypersonic is the new keyword that brings all the Russian bots to the chat.
Besides of that has the Russian with their high frequent electronic defense systems destroyed the most tomahawk misiles launched at Syria…
The Russian cruise misiles are faster with a much larger range than the tomahawk misiles…
That last dudes face when the missile launched 😅
I still think it should have been called the “Tom-cruise; missle impossible”
Please tell me they call it the Tom cruise
Underrated comment 😂
Not only that, it carries one as well to sabotage the enemy, mission impossible style
Lmfao
The missile knows where it is at all times, It knows this by knowing where it isn’t…
