Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 03 July 2018
The LRASM fills a void Correct. And more specifically, with that program the void was for a medium-long range air-launched passive anti-ship weapon that could leverage the unique passive RF system and NLOS/LOS networking that DARPA and the USN had developed. The MST-TLAM didn't even exist at that t...

What part of slow missiles wont be great, the USN is going LRASM, does the above rant address?

AD saturation can be achieved through decoys. No need to fire a dozen TLAMS. But I get your point. Like I said, its suspect, you need faster missiles to get the job done is my opinion.
