Making Missile Strikes Great Again
President Trump congratulated the U.S. military today for executing a missile strike against the Syrian government Thursday night, taking to Twitter to thank them for their service. Trump’s tweet comes as lawmakers from both parties continue to praise the missile strike as a necessary check on Syrian President Bashar Assad’s aggression against his people.
Trump requested a targeted strike against an air base controlled by the Assad regime after the U.S. concluded it launched a nerve agent into a civilian area on Monday, killing dozens of people and leaving more than 100 others injured. You should’ve seen the devastating effects 59,000 pounds of munitions had on Syria’s chemical weapons airbase.
Trump unleashed 60 Tomahawk missiles on the base, obliterating it. No doubt, the aftermath of the attack shows the world the military power of America. This had been in question over the past eight years, while weak and feckless Obama was in office.
Things Have Really Changed.
Let’s Learn Something About Cruise Missiles
A cruise missile is a guided missile, the major portion of whose flight path to its target (a land-based or sea-based target) is conducted at approximately constant velocity; that relies on the dynamic reaction of air for lift, and upon propulsion forces to balance drag. Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large warhead over long distances with high accuracy. Modern cruise missiles can travel at supersonic or high subsonic speeds, are self-navigating, and can fly on a non-ballistic, extremely low altitude trajectory.
As of 2015, the United States Navy has a stockpile of around 3,500 Tomahawk cruise missiles of all variants, with a combined worth of approximately US $2.6 billion.
It could cost about $60 million to replace the cruise missiles that the U.S. military rained on Syrian targets Thursday night. Each Tomahawk missile, made by Raytheon Co. likely cost $1 million.
