Created by T.B. on November 23, 2014

Do not kill the United States Tomahawk and Hellfire missile programs. The Tomahawk missile program known as “the world’s most advanced cruise missile” is set to be cut by $128 million under Obama’s fiscal year 2015 budget proposal and completely eliminated by fiscal year 2016.The Navy will also be forced to cancel its acquisition of the well-regarded and highly effective Hellfire missiles in 2015, according to Obama’s proposal.proposed elimination of these missile programs came as a shock to lawmakers and military experts, who warned cutting these missiles would significantly erode America’s ability to deter enemy forces. if allowed to be cut, United States naval superiority will take a huge blow.
