"Iran has moved its launchers beyond the reach of precision-guided missiles capable of hitting targets more than 480 kilometers away," a source told Bloomberg. The U.S. Central Command believes that a system with greater range is necessary to strike launchers deep within Iranian territory. Each Dark Eagle missile developed by Lockheed Martin Corp. costs about $15 million, and there are no more than eight of them in total. Each battery will cost approximately $2.7 billion. A decision on the request has not yet been made. As bb.lv reports, while a decision has not been made, the request itself signals that Washington is looking for new ways to overcome range limitations and increase pressure, which could lead to further escalation.
