Finally: America's most dangerous missile

Finally: America's most dangerous missile

Here's What You Need To Remember: The JASSM missile is getting a big upgrade package - probably to allow it to strike moving targets, a longtime shortcoming.

When F-15s, B-2s and even B-52s fly armed with an aircraft-launched missile able to destroy surface targets from as far as 500 nautical miles, they are tactically equipped for serious attacks on enemy air defenses and ground forces at safer stand-off ranges. Most state-of-the-art Integrated Air and Missile Defense Systems can max out at about a 125mile range, placing armed aircraft in a position to strike with less risk of destruction when launching Air-to-Surface attacks.
