This provides her with high resistance to radio -electronic fighting and the ability to act without active satellite; Rsquo; Rsquo;

< P > The rocket has a range of more than 900 km and carries a permeable shrapnel-fugitive combat part with a mass of 450 kg. Due to the low LRASM radar profile, the enemy's air defense can be overcome using variable flight routes at low altitude. It is compatible with the starting installations of ships and aircraft, including B-1B Lancer, F/A-18 Super Hornet and F-35. < P > Increase the shock capabilities of the US aviation occurs in preparation for probable conflicts in the Pacific region, in particular against the background of threats from China.
