Mr. Deakins
asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the weight of a cruise missile; and what will be the approximate total weight of any road transporter carrying such a missile.
Mr. Pattie
The General Dynamics Tomahawk ground launched cruise missile weighs approximately 3,000 lb. The weight of the transporter-launcher which will carry the missiles will be about 30 tons—that is, about the same weight as a large commercial vehicle.
