75 mile torpedo? The sea base itself is vulnerable.

 I saw this on Cdr Salamander's site and my first impression was WTF!  A torpedo that is capable of being launched from land and can strike targets 75 miles out to sea?

Air targets are easy.  We plan for anti-air operations.  Our systems are geared toward massed air attacks.

Mass launches of torpedos from launchers on land at the sea base might be a totally different kettle of fish.

The product guide gives very little info.  And to be quite honest I'm not too concerned about this particular missile from this particular company.

What concerns me are the copy cats that will seek to duplicate this technology.

Either way the littoral zone just became alot more hostile.

  1. i have always been concerned about the littorals and the LCS concept, i mean you have shoulder fired anti-tank missiles that can take out landing craft, and long range artillery that can be hidden, unless someone has absolute air dominance a littoral zone is very hostile but you are very right, this only adds to the threats.
