@NotMyOldRedditName @fuckingkangaroos that is a question I asked myself as well. But then it would be the like the famous US nuclear 'cruise missile' (from the @FRHoffmann1 header). If you saw these latest French turbo jet drones the line blurs imo. I think the US tomahawk can be land based. But an answer from a not armchair military guy would be great.

@NotMyOldRedditName @fuckingkangaroos (my gut says it has something to do with tactical positioning of the weapon system... Cruise missiles are slow in comparison to ballistic missiles and if you could preposition in minutes in a fighter jet you could outrun Enemy ad). A guess.
