Hypersonic missiles: UK, US, and Australia to boost defence co-operation

Kapitan · 04-05-22, 01:38 PM

The UK defiantly needs to sort out its missile situation, especially when it comes to AShMs

Were reliant on the Harpoon which is a small subsonic missiles, any peer navy or any navy for that fact with a decent air defense suite would likely engage it easily.

I really do like the idea of the UK Australia and USA working together, the Aussies are a great bunch and hard b******ds too.
I would like to see Canada come into the mix but I think it is too beyond them implementation capability wise.

Mach 5 monster: Germany to get Dark Eagle missile – wonder if this is true though:

Question still is how to counter this as an ICBM, or at all

OT German tested an own development some years ago for scientific purposes/not a weapon

Confirmed at least is the re-activation of that US nuclear missile unit in germany, I posted that some weeks ago. Of the Dark Eagle I have not heard anything, only that Israel and Washington have in principle approved selling their Arrow-3 system to the Germans.
