| Impressive footage. whats the rocket ordinance the B-52 is firing....ther appear to be two types. One I think is a tomahawk, but what is the other.
Intersting to compare tactics to Soviet era anti-shipping strike capability. They planned to attack in LR groups orf about 30 A/C firing salvoes of AS-11 "Kennel" missiles (I think). Soviet ASM were notoriously innacurate, and fairly easily jammed, but they relied on the numbers to try and get a few past the AAW defences. Even one would tear a pretty big hole through a flight deck
Argentinians also demonstrated what this sort of technology could do. I read somewhere that in 1982 they only possessed about 10 of the airborne version of the exocet, a none too deadly misssile (but deadly enough). Even the iron bombs on the skyhawks were bad enough, and respponsible for the loss of at least one of the ships lost (I think it was the AHLS Sir galahad)
