Ännu ett vapensytem som Sverige bidragit till. Vassare än Stormshadow
"The TAURUS aviation cruise missile, full name TAURUS KEPD 350, was developed in the early 2000s by the defense concerns of Germany and Sweden. The engineers of the German company MBDA Deutschland and the Swedish Bofors participated in the creation of the missile."
En TAURUS mot ett brofundament hade varit fint!
"The TAURUS cruise missile is designed for high-precision destruction of protected and buried targets without the carrier aircraft entering the enemy’s air defense coverage area. The launch weight of the rocket is 1360 kg with a length of 5.1 meters.
The missile received a carrier body with an upper wing with a small extension and a cross-shaped tail. To reduce radar visibility, the hull of the cruise missile has a rectangular cross-section and is made of composite materials. The case has no sharp edges on the interface and is covered with a special radio-absorbing material.
The missile is standard equipped with a tandem concrete warhead weighing 481 kg. The first charge is cumulative, and the second [main] is high-explosive. The high-explosive charge is enclosed in a high-strength steel casing 2.3 meters long. The shape of the charge is optimized for breaking through concrete obstacles. The weight of a high-explosive charge together with a steel case is 400 kg"
