Holland near to acquiring Tomahawk missiles

I think it's freakin' nonsense. Leave the big stuff to the Americans and British. It simply doesn't fit in the Dutch picture.

:hmm:

What are they planning to use those missiles against?

Unless I'm wrong, Tomahawks are not intercontinental, but have some "limited" range instead....

I say: Germans, start trembling if Holland does not win the Soccer World Cup 2006

I wonder what platforms they want to deploy the Tomahawks on, subs or ships or both?

According to Wikipedia NL has decided on October 14th to buy 30 Tomahawk Block IV. They will be ship-mounted.

Finland is going to purchase the Storm Shadow or the JASMM for its F-18s to create an air to ground ability. :|\
