The SPEAR 3 is set to provide the British F-35B stealth fighter with a much-needed standoff air-to-ground attack capability. SPEAR is a next generation cruise missile and can hit targets from 100km away. It’s designed to be used against a range of targets, including air defences, ships, tanks, defended structures and fast-moving vehicles. The missile will allow the military to strike targets from land and Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers once deployed, and will be mounted on the UK’s F-35B fighter jets.
