few days ago, with the recent conflict Libya, the Allies began firing Tomahawk missiles from the shore, and it occurred to me research on these:
These missiles are known by the name or Tomahawk BGM-109 Tomahawk, built in 1983 by the U.S. and have only them and the United Kingdom, are very difficult to intercept by enemy forces for its small size, as in that scene are small, but measured 5.5 meters long and 0.5 in diameter, plus a wingspan of 2.67 meters and weigh around 1500 kilos.
have been improved over the years, today fired from nuclear submarines and cruisers, their maximum range is 2500 km and a margin of error of 10 meters.
Another highlight is its cost, $ 569,000 per unit, using GPS or location systems TERCOM and its speed reaches about 880 km / h
leave a picture of the American cruiser USS Cape St. George shooting one of these gifts.
