range

[edit]

The title is long range but it doesn't say what the range is. Gah4 (talk) 05:33, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The number is in the infobox. --Ancheta Wis   (talk | contribs) 09:57, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I did miss that, but I think I was expecting a little more than just one number. Well, first I am surprised that the name is being used for one specific system. Next will we have the Even longer range ... and Just a little bit longer than that range ... But mostly, in many cases that isn't all that long a range. Consider that ICBMs seem defined as 3400mi or more. And they don't even reach the range of Intermediate-range ballistic missiles starting at 3000km. Given that, it would be nice for the article to discuss range. Even more, recent events suggest a new Missile gap, but that depends on them having enough range for many uses.

United States Army Futures Command#Long Range Precision Fires is from the Army perspective. Strategic fires have not been an Army capability since the Pershing missile days. No doctrine exists yet. --Ancheta Wis   (talk | contribs) 22:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would have thought that (at least the US government) should have a standard on meanings for range terms. That would make treaties easier. As well as I know it, it gets a lot harder, for only small increases in range. Gah4 (talk) 01:33, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
