New Missile Takes Aim at Modern Warfare Challenges

The U. S. Marine Corps has just shown off a new missile called Red Wolf. It can hit targets way farther than usual—over 230 miles away. That's a big deal because most helicopter missiles only go about 20 miles. This new tech could change how wars are fought, especially in places like the Pacific. Red Wolf is made to mess up enemy ships and sensors. This makes it easier for bigger weapons to hit their targets. It's also cheap—only $300, 000 per missile—which means the military can make a lot of them. Plus, it can do more than just hit targets. It can also jam enemy electronics and help other missiles find their targets.The test was a big success. The missile hit a target in the ocean and even sent info to other systems. This is usually something only big planes or ships can do. The missile is controlled by a tablet, which makes it easier to use. This new missile is part of a bigger plan to fight wars with countries like China. The U. S. military is getting ready for bigger conflicts, not just small fights. They want weapons that can do many things, like hit targets far away and mess up enemy systems. The test comes at a time when tensions are high. There are worries about wars in Ukraine and Taiwan turning into something much bigger. The U. S. is working fast to make sure they're ready for any threats.
