Genuine question,

Does anyone read the information linked to before pontificating?

The article clearly states that a combined UK/French project aims to replace StormShadow/SCALP, Exocet and Harpoon for, in the UK’s case, both Typhoon and T26 Frigates.

A concept for a weapon that can be both a cruise missile replacing one that is already carried by the platform and an anti ship weapon to replace one already carried by the platform the T26 is replacing.

It may even be able to do both heaven help us and increase current capabilities.

it is literally spelled out from para 2 onwards!

“The Planning Assumption for Service Entry for Future Cruise /Anti-Ship Weapon on the T26 Frigate and Typhoon aircraft is 2028 and 2030 respectively.”

So what exactly is all the internecine knicker twisting about?
