Whereas the original Kalibr 3M14 traded performance blows with the Tomahawk’s Block IV revision in what amounts to an approximate draw tilted slightly in Kalibr’s favor, Kalibr-M drastically outranges its US counterpart at 4,500 against 1,700 kilometers. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The most significant advantage of the 3M14T and its family is that they can be fired from a wider variety of smaller ships than the American ones that usually carry the Tomahawk, making it easier to deploy. It is also being developed to fire from fixed land bases, vehicles, and aircraft.Kalibr may not have some of the advanced loitering and interactive data link capabilities of the current Tomahawk, but that might well make it cheaper to mass-produce (in addition to parts commonality with family variants).</p>Jhon Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12303042466944107731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894143969736412436.post-79114179095172775702022-12-03T07:04:00.001-08:002022-12-03T07:04:09.604-08:00US Air Force Unveils the New B-21 Raider<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_zkm98PNVdc" title="US Air Force Unveils the New B-21 Raider" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Via: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCajKgpxKwbuhR2PkI7e-WUA" target="_blank">US Military Power</a></i></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The B-21 Raider was unveiled to the public at a ceremony December 2, 2022 in Palmdale, California.
