US Army - Lockheed Martin Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF)

True LOL but the assessment seems correct.

What? No, that article is full of complete no sequiturs and falsehoods.

Inc 5 sounds a lot like OpFires, which should fit if you remove the cab and extend the tubes.

Depending on missile weight, you could probably also stick it into the Marine's NMESIS launcher. Might even be able to fit two in there.

And the Navy might be interested in something like that as well.

What? No, that article is full of complete no sequiturs and falsehoods.

Some perhaps but the assessment that the S-400/500 is unlikely to be able to intercept it seems correct. However the maximum intercept altitude for the A235 is incorrectly stated, since it's 50km not >80km, which wouldn't be much use against a glide warhead anyway.

 

[TomS]

The article keeps suggesting that Dark Eagle is an interceptor. It can't even keep that basic fact straight; if it gets anything else right, it's purely by accident.

Yes, it makes a big difference when I read it slowly rather than scan reading. It's badly written for sure. I think when I was scan-reading it I was making sense of it in my head rather than reading the actual words. Having read the actual words I think I'll file it next to bulgarianmilitary.com in future.

Anyway, launch video:

What is the bulge on the righthand side of the missile that sticks out a bit? Datalink antenna?

New Defense Updates video about the USMC's new NMESIS system:

US Marines from the 3d Marine Littoral Regiment (3d MLR), part of the 3d Marine Division, now have a powerful new weapon in their arsenal. The regiment has received the Navy-Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS), an advanced anti-ship missile system.

Beyond the menacing name, the NMESIS is designed to boost the Marine Corps’ anti-ship capabilities, particularly for potential conflicts in the Pacific theater, where Marine units would be expected to deploy to several islands throughout the ocean.

This marks the first deployment of the NMESIS in the field, following years of testing and development. The system will be operated by the regiment's Medium-Range Missile Battery, based in Oahu, Hawaii.

In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how the US Marine Corps is getting a major capability boost with NMESIS ?
