Lockheed Martin's latest promotional video about their LRASM antiship missile engaging a Chinese Type 055 Cruiser launched from a F-35
impressive
Why is the F-35 carrying them externally?
>>64759637very impressive
>>64759655Because it looks cooler.
>>64759655Because it can only carry two internally.
vely implessivethe tian mandate is dead
Impressive
>>64759637Where's AA fire from the fleet?
IMPLESSIVE!
>>64759875They’re being manned by the air-defense cuckhold.
its funny how the CGI is so dated looking.
>>64759655The 2700 pound 14 foot long missile cannot fit inside. I doubt the LRASM is really integrated into the F-35, yet. It is probably just a concept hype video. The US Navy does not have very many F-35C aircraft.Australia was crying about LRASM weapons integration with the F-35, but did not want to spend the money. It is the only country other than the USA to have LRASM. Eurotrash don't want to spend 4 million dollars for each LRASM. They all wanted to free-ride off the USA, like usual.
>>64759922Europe already has Storm Shadow/SCALP/Taurus which has been combat tested in Ukraine unlike LRASM
>>64759875The red spheres they're going around represent the potential detection range of the ship's radar against the missile, which LRASM can automatically evade and go around, including messaging other missiles around it to create a comprehensive map of air defenses in the area and gaps between them. Later on it's shown sea skimming which would also reduce the range at which the ship can engage it but unlike other promotional videos the final moments before engagement are not shown which is when the ship is most likely to detect it and attempt interception.
>>64759936Neither of those are anti-ship missiles or the European counterpart to LRASM, which would be the Naval Strike Missile, d&c shitskin.
>>64759936all of those are significantly worse that LRASM lmao
>>64759637Being able to identify targets and then go after specific areas is some Battlestations Pacific shit.
