A quick map showing the reach of JASSM vs JASSM-ER in East Asia

We need longer ranged missiles...and planes with bigger magazines (thinking B-1, B-52 and B-21). If you're attacking an armada at sea then you need I don't know how many missiles to knock out a ship equipped with electronic countermeasures and close in weapon systems. Oh! We need alot more missiles too!

 

A quick map showing the reach of JASSM vs JASSM-ER in East Asia: The original JASSM doesnt offer much stand off range nor maneuvering margin to avoid defensive sites. From Kadena it appears mostly innefective. Note this does not include IFR. pic.twitter.com/UdQB7vmZIP
