This is a gentle reminder that the LRASM is currently the most advanced ASM in the world
Sure, but it's useless without magnets
>>64214823Based
>>64214823When will we use this on drug smugglers. Would be fun
>>64215000More like a waste of money, their boats don't even have radar lol
>>64215058Still would be neat
>>64214823by what metrics? range and stealth? the NSM is pretty advanced too
>>64214837Fucking magnets, man. How do they work? >>64215112Not OP, but I would say range, payload, precision and survivability to target with likely be the standard for measurement. I'm sure you can include other things like AI targeting ability or data networking with other missiles maybe.
>>64215112Stealth, range, networking capabilities, just an all around better missile than the admittedly good NSM
>>64215112The NSM doesn’t even compare to the LRASM
>>64215112The LRASM is too stealthy to be spotted
ASM or AShM?Which acronym is preferred?
>>64216666>6666I thought satan himself would know that already
I knew our local retard was here, he just autistically spergs the same ice cream boat and JASSM shit.90% of the thread will be samefagging, you are warned.
>>64216734It's better than the chinkshills and the Malay schizo
>>64216666I don’t think it matters
>>64215112Is this a coping mechanism?
>>64216810Don't think so, if we run low on ours we can use theirs. We're all friends here.
>>64216842We are absolutely not friends with the euros
>>64216913Thank you saar!
>>64216913>Divide and conquert. Axis of Turd Worlders
>>64216927>>64217017Cope
>>64214823>>64215112>Mfw my country has both
>>64216913No matter how you spin it NATO is stronger than any meme defense or trade alliance out there combined. A little banter from Orange man isn't going to change that.
>>64217126This is cope
>>64217179lmfao
>>64214837Man if only the US produced its own magnets for use in defense purposes instead of all the cheap fucking garbage that goes into disposable civilian goods wouldn't that be fucking embarrasing.

>>64214823For me it's the frogs's Exocet. Subsonic missiles are gay. For the look, Taiwan Hsiung Feng III nails the "my missile is a missile that does missile stuff"
>>64218287Bong ships couldn’t defend against this.
>>64215133>>64215128Everything beyond range and warhead is just guessing about classified specs.But at the end of the day, comparing something like the NSM and the LRASM is like comparing apples to oranges
>>64216666The uncapitalized letter feels more Soviet or, forgive me, British. So only the bad guys have AShMs, we have ASMs.
>>64216666"Ash 'em!" sounds cooler.
>>64219558LRASM has passive emission detection, advanced long range datalinks and automatic radar evasion which the NSM lack.
>>64220112I think datalinks are something that cannot be understated
>>64218287>For me it's the frogs's Exocet. >Subsonic missiles are gay.So which is it?
>>64220118For shorter ranges the datalinks aren't that important unless you're coordinating salvos for the same time on target, they can give you better BDA and situational awareness but they're not essential. For longer range missiles, especially slower ones, they are quite important for midcourse corrections as the targets are moving. That's one of the reasons soviets invested into supersonic missiles - you can get more effective range out of a fast missile because it clears more distance in the same time period that a ship has to change its position and move outside of the targeted area where the missile can detect it.Another use for datalinks is controlling the target ID to avoid hitting bystanders or other ships that you're not aiming at but LRASM and supposedly NSM do have ship classification capabilities that already help with that.
>>64218287>>64219553Exocet was fucking terrifying. It was to Cold War ships what dronefags wish FPVs were to tanks. Literally everybody had it and you didn't even have to be at war to be hit without warning (USS Stark).
>>64220151In the gay subsonic range, the Exocet.In the supersonic range, Taiwan missiles are underrated
>>64223915I wish Taiwan could export them so they can afford to make more but then the Changs will get their hands on one and figure out how to counter them.
