I have not seen such utter nonsense for a long time; you must be a FJ driver. Hilarious! I always thought that the purpose of a long range stand off missile was so that you stand off!!
A Mig25 flies at about 25 miles a minute (faster if flat out), and if the Grimrod is staggering along at 7 miles a minute (at best, these weapons are draggy!), that is a closure of 32 miles a minute - your stand off isn't going to last very long. I'd give you 7-10 minutes at best before a missile launch!
Seeing as Storm Shadow is supposed to be a weapon to take down an IADS, floating along at 'standoff' of a couple of hundred miles in a MPA that does probably .7M at best with all these mythical Storm Shadows underneath, would make it very vulnerable. Now you could jettison them all when the Foxbat or Foxhound makes the charge - but hey, that's a mission kill anyway. There won't be any escort to look after you because we had to shelve 3 sqns of FJs to buy the great white elephant at £3.8Bn (read MPA pretending to be a stategic bomber).
Anyway, I'll go back to my 'utter nonsense' and dream of FJ 'seedcorn' because we're going to need that soon with the 7 remaining FJ FL sqns. Maybe they'll send me to Miramar to fly the Hornet!
