US Navy Conducts First Operational Test Of Tomahawk Block V

[F-22Raptor]

The test took place on 1 December at the Pacific test range as the destroyer was assigned to Carrier Strike Group ONE with aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70).


The Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands is a U.S. naval facility and airport located near Kekaha, in Kauai County, Hawaii, United States.

All Tomahawk Block IVs are being upgraded to Block V with longer range and dynamic targeting with the capability to hit vessels at sea (maritime strike role). Raytheon is recertifying and modernizing the missile, extending its service life by 15 years, and resulting in the new Tomahawk Block V series:

• Block V: A modernized TACTOM with upgraded navigation and communication
• Block Va: Block V that can strike moving targets at sea
• Block Vb:Block V, with a joint multi-effects warhead that can hit more diverse land targets

Pakistan needs to learn from it and keep upgrading Babur and its Naval versions. USA has three versions with one having 1350 KM range second one with 1800 KM range and third one with 2500 KM range. Pakistan should have at least two. One with 1200 KM and one with 2400.

One with 1200 KM and one with 2400.

Do you we have cruise missiles that have a range of 1200 km and 2400 km last i hear our longest range cruise missile is babar 2 with a range of only 750 KM???

I am saying develop them with such ranges. Yes as of now the maximum range of Babur is 750 KM. That is not enough we need Babur with 1200 and 2400 KM range. Both for land version as well as Naval version.

Ok and sorry sir my mistake

Does the Block Va have TERCOM/DSMAC guidance that would allow it to strike fixed land targets as well?

The appearance of this variant means that the United States, not China or Russia, now has the world's longest-ranged anti-ship missile.

One with 1200 KM and one with 2400.

We need better engines for that

Yes it can do both.

Should work with Turkey and Ukraine as well as China on improving the engine design and range.
