NS conduct successful test of LRM-20T

NS have conducted a successful test of the LRM-20T, a tactical version of the Long Range Missile strategic weapon system. The LRM-20T is a variant of the LRM-20 with a conventional warhead, it is operated from mobile launchers mostly based on Proxima 7.

In the test five missiles were launched from Proxima 7 and two from Proxima 5. Six targets were struck at a range on Liberation. One missile is reported to have suffered a failure in it's boost mode and was destroyed. An NS spokesman said the test was considered successful. It is not known how many LRM-20Ts have been built as they are an expensive option for tactical attacks though Viceroy Caratore is said to want the option.
