Which cruise missile is more powerful, Tomahawk or Kalibr cruise missiles
The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) is a longrange, allweather, jetpowered, subsonic cruise missile that is primarily used by the United States Navy and Royal Navy in ship and submarinebased landattack operations. The 3M54 Kalibr cruise missiles developed by the Novator Design Bureau. There are shiplaunched, submarinelaunched and airlaunched versions of the missile, and variants for antiship, antisubmarine and land attack use. Some versions have a second propulsion stage that initiates a supersonic sprint in the terminal approach to the target, reducing the time that target s defense systems have to react, while subsonic versions have greater range than the supersonic variants. The missile can carry a warhead weighing up to 500 kilograms (1, 100 lb) of explosive or a thermonuclear warhead. Subscribe Now :
