Analyst Note:
This Tomahawk missile features a distinctive black coating that suggests it is an RGM-109E Block Va variant, also known as the Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST). A similar coating is seen on the U.S. Navy’s AGM-158C Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM). MST incorporates a new multi-mode seeker optimised for the anti-shipping role, but remains capable of striking land-based targets. (ARES)
