Zitat:Ministry of Defence Purchases Updated and Enhanced Tomahawk Land Attack Missilesund
(Source: UK Ministry of Defence; issued April 21, 2004)
The Ministry of Defence has reached agreement with the United States Government, under the terms of a Foreign Military Sales case, to purchase 64 Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM), Lord Bach, Minister for Defence Procurement, announced today.
These conventionally armed land attack missiles are the new 'Block IV' TLAM (also known as TacTom), which have a higher specification than our existing - 'Block III' - missiles. As such, they will provide the added ability to retarget or abort mission in flight and will have a Battle Damage Indication capability. They will be capable of being fired from our current Trafalgar Class submarines as well as from the new Astute Class submarines when they enter service.

The UK's elite Royal Marine Commandos have started taking delivery of Viking - a new armoured, all-terrain vehicle capable of moving troops over almost any type of ground.
For the next 12 months the new vehicles will be put through their paces by the Royal Marines for training and familiarisation before they are declared ready for operational use.
The £60m contract saw the 'go-anywhere' vehicles manufactured by Alvis Hagglunds on time and to cost. A total of 108 Vikings will help ensure that the Royal Marines are suitably equipped as a key element of the UK's rapid reaction force for the next 20 years.
