Notable that we’ve shifted from the “small batches but very shiny stuff” like the type 45 to “we need a fucking tonne of this because of what we’ve witnessed in Ukraine and we need it now” procurement.

By the discription this is an Short Rranged Ballistic Missile so the best known comparison would be the Russian Iskander family of weapons.
Not a huge suprise to see such an announcement given how effective these things can be at getting through AD compaired to cruise missiles.
