The BGM-109 Tomahawk is a submarine or ship-launched cruise missile. After launch, a solid propellant burns for 12 seconds clearing the launch area. The missile then deploys fins and small wings, and engages a small turbofan engine takes over for the cruise portion of flight. Radar detection is difficult because of the missile's small radar and visual cross-section, low altitude flight, small heat signature and high speed (650mph).

  • shame

    a shame that the richest country in the world that wont provide free health care to every american citizen can pay a million plus for missles and fire them like they are cheap arrows.revolution not election.

      Where in the constitution is the section promising free health care? It doesn't exist, and should not exist. It isn't free, and it never works.
      The government has no business in health care. Silly Socialist, paychecks are for workers.

      why don't you tell us where you live. maybe we can have one land in your lap. That way the money won't go to waste. Better yet why don't you invite some of your communist friends come over too.

    • Shame on you, Shame

      Anyone who calls for a revolution against a really good government should be shot or deported to, say.... Iran. See how you like that.

      You only enjoy the current list of administrations because they serve Satan. NOT God.

      PS- Wiccans also are under Satan. With that rebellious ex-angel, all followers of his ways and his things will spend eternity in Hell. Check out Isaiah 14:16.

  • Some of the

    newer Tomahawk models can be remote controlled terminally as well as loiter (Fly in circles) and pick out it's own target if so desired.

    Slow as hell however... It's subsonic, barely reaching 600 knots. This is a disadvantage for it, considering it can be engaged and destroyed by some of the more sophisticated Integrated Air Defense Systems.

    • Yeah

    • African families

      The U.S. is already giving Africans more food & money then all other countries on earth put togather, we give billions of dollars every year. where does the money go? We have the right to defend our country.

  • sobbers always forget...

    that even in a modern world we still live by the rules of the jungle........
    the strong will prevail and the weak will perish.
    they forget that the marvel that is their home computer is only in existance because someone wanted to be more powerful than someone else.
    how can anyone think that we can live in a world of peace and harmony?what a load of crap.if we didnt have war then the evolution of a smarter human would cease.
