Germany has announced that it has reached an agreement with the United States to procure and deploy Tomahawk intermediate-range cruise missiles…
With the decision made during the NATO Summit in Ankara, the German Armed Forces will deploy Tomahawk missiles.
With a range of approximately 2,500 kilometers, Tomahawk missiles will provide deterrence and precision strike capabilities.
The system offers high strike precision by utilizing advanced inertial navigation (INS), GPS, terrain contour matching (TERCOM), and digital scene matching area correlation (DSMAC) systems.
Used in deep-strike missions against fixed and high-value targets, the missile can be launched from ships, submarines, and land-based launchers.
By reducing the probability of detection by air defense systems due to its low radar cross-section and low-altitude, terrain-following flight profile, the Tomahawk offers precision engagement capability against command-and-control centers, air bases, radar facilities, ammunition depots, and critical targets with its conventional warhead.
Modern variants of the Tomahawk missile feature network-centric operational capabilities such as in-flight retargeting and mission abort…
