DDS begin testing air launched TPM-2

With the TPM-2 now entering service after a long development the next version of the missile, an air-launched missile to attack targets in LEO. The missile, currently known as TPM-A-2X will replace the TPM-A in service with DDS Air Force regiments at GHQ and on Solaris. These aircraft form the final layer of defence.

TPM-A-2X is smaller than TPM-A and 2 will be carried by F-10S Shark 2100 fighters which can at the moment only carry 1 TPM-A. TPM-A-2X also has a better rocket booster and enhanced datalinking for course correction and an improved terminal guidance mode.
