Kinda hard to judge though. Both were abysmal in testing, with four failures in 10 flights each.The history certainly lends itself to questions. The USAF had developed the shorter range AGM-86A before the Joint Cruise Missile Program Office flyoff. Selecting AGM-86B allowed them to stick with the missile they already knew and liked.Conversely, the Navy never seriously thought about an AGM-86A development when it looked for an air-launched cruise missile. It designed a cut down Tomahawk (MRASM) instead.
