I wonder if any of those missles dissapeared in ukraine
It's even funnier thing actually, RN ships don't have ASuW missiles because they did had murican Harpoons, but they were retired in 2018 due to being obsolete. With no replacement, they are promising it for 2028 (unlikely) so currently RN ship wanting to shot enemy ship must close to the gun range. They did bought some Norwegian ASuW system recently but it's only been fit to few ships at most and was not tested, it's also a short range system.
Some harpoon missiles retired from RN most likely did arrived in Ukraine, where they had so huge success as using two to hit a tugboat.
Why did they deem something as obsolete when they have no replacement for it?
