The so-called Rampage missile is a precision-guided air-launched stand-off missile with a range of about 90 miles (145 kilometers). With a length of 4.7 meters, the Rampage weighs 570 kilograms. According to press reports, it will carry a warhead of around 150 kilograms. Um..... why do they call it a "rampage missile", I know it's probably because it is very powerful...... the word rampage also means chaos and no control...... it is not very comforting to have "rampage missiles" so if they fire on Gaza, even people in Saudi Arabia might have to run for cover! :scratch: An imposing name adds to the mystique and fear. Point being, Israel is very serious and proactive about self defense. TR Perhaps these are the latest high tech mega bunker buster bombs that will be used to destroy all of Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons currently stored underneath the streets of Damascus? :unsure: Hmm....... that did occur to me Geri.
