Marine Helicopters Are Getting A 200+ Mile Missile

Marines picked the Red Wolf launched effect for their PASM program, and with it comes over 230 miles of range with a roughly $300,000 price tag. This relatively cheap munition gives Marine helicopters like the AH-1Z Viper true over-the-horizon targeting capability, something that will come in handy in the event of a Pacific fight. In this video, we talk about the Red Wolf and what it can do, how it compares to other helicopter-launched munitions, and how this changes things for modern combat. 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - What is Red Wolf and PASM? 04:42 - What can Red Wolf do? 06:50 - Comparable weapon 09:30 - Why range = life 11:57 - Problems to solve 14:45 - Channel Updates Written by: Kyle Gunn Edited by: Savvy Task & Purpose is a military news and culture-oriented channel.
