Marine Helicopters Are Getting A 200+ Mile Missile

Описание: Marines picked the Red Wolf launched effect for their PASM program, and with it comes over 230 miles of range with a roughly $300,000 price tag.

This relatively cheap munition gives Marine helicopters like the AH-1Z Viper true over-the-horizon targeting capability, something that will come in handy in the event of a Pacific fight.

In this video, we talk about the Red Wolf and what it can do, how it compares to other helicopter-launched munitions, and how this changes things for modern combat.
