The US and its allies, Great Britain and France launched air strikes against Syrian military bases, dropping more than 100 missiles.
These attacks followed the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime against civilians in Duma we left behind, where dozens of civilians were killed, including many children.
What missile did America use to attack Syrian military plants with chemical weapons?
According to estimates by military experts, the US, according to all odds against Syria, used missiles called “Tomahawk”, writes news.net.
This missile, launched by warships, travels at the speed of commercial planes and can carry explosives of up to 200 pounds [330 kg].
“Tomhawk” has been in the US arsenal since 1980, whereas for the first time used in “Gulf War” They have also been used in NATO's attacks on Serbian forces during the 1999 war on Kosovo's liberation.
They fly to extreme low altitudes, and to date they have been used in over 2300 attacks. So this statistics shows how efficient these missiles are. Last year the US fired 59 rockets “Tomahawk” at the Shiira Air Base, Syria, against ISIS.
Each missile costs 1.4 million dollars and can reach limits of between 1,300 and 2400 miles [1300 km]. What these missiles have done to death is the fact that it can be reprogramd in flight, so it can change its destination.
