https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj69j8l918do Yeah, glad to see ya. Recently, the US Navy had a minor $6 million Marine-tier fuckup while attacking ISIS remnants in Nigeria.
On the 25th, the US Navy struck an ISIS base in northwestern Nigeria with Tomahawk cruise missiles. Reports vary by outlet, but 12-16 missiles were used, and at least 3 of them were duds, causing a stir. (Reuters claims 12, NYT and BBC claim 16).
With at least 3 duds confirmed, that's a failure rate of 19-25% of the total missiles fired.
This cylindrical object is the warhead of a $2 million Tomahawk cruise missile. This has been cross-verified with the manufacturer's public data and materials released by the Russian military after a 2017 Tomahawk strike in Syria.
https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/cjrjwq59x49o This news, coupled with the US Navy's recent string of shipbuilding plan fuckups, is giving many Milsperger big-noses the chills. If a significant portion of the Tomahawk inventory is actually duds, it's truly nightmare fuel for the US Navy, which functions as a glorified Tomahawk-spammer for land attacks.
Reactions like "Lmao they're cooked" (4,200+ likes), "Lock up the CEO" (345 likes), "INDOPACOM is already done for" (274 likes), etc., have been observed.
All in all, it's a disastrous day for Tomahawk-spammers. Let's just leave it at that. Source: Military Animation Gallery
"Military geeks are having a meltdown over the US Navy's $6 million 'paperweights' and questioning if INDOPACOM is already cooked."
