@NotMyOldRedditName @fuckingkangaroos (my gut says it has something to do with tactical positioning of the weapon system... Cruise missiles are slow in comparison to ballistic missiles and if you could preposition in minutes in a fighter jet you could outrun Enemy ad). A guess.
@NotMyOldRedditName @fuckingkangaroos that is a question I asked myself as well. But then it would be the like the famous US nuclear 'cruise missile' (from the @FRHoffmann1 header). If you saw these latest French turbo jet drones the line blurs imo. I think the US tomahawk can be land based. But an answer from a not armchair military guy would be great.
@gravitas_deficiency @LaFinlandia yes and no. My gov usually only publishes after safe and sound delivery. Yes, force composition is a minus (if true - who knows?) but it's also signalling to the world. FR, IT have other policies. But I think a deliberate reasoning is behind it l. #ukraine
@Guajojo @Wilshire dystopian. If you have slept well, after a fresh morning juice in a summer breeze a 'fit' athlete could likely 'rabbitjump' avoid collision for a certain time, with a manual operator to a certain degree, but exhausted, bruised, in the open? Likely not. With an AI even harder. #skynet
