200 miles is long range now?
That doesn’t even get you from Perth to Kalgoorlie, both in the same state…
I feel like about 3 commenters will know where these places are
Well…
- Perth is Western Australia
- Calgary is in Alberta, Canada
Sounds pretty long range to me.
That’s me … niche geography … with only a few million people who might know what I’m talking about.
I feel compelled to represent as a moderator of c/perth/westernaustralia over on the Aussie-Zone server.
There are tots-defs ten or twenty people here that will understand this hop, skip and a jump reference.
So, ah, yeah, sure showed you! 3! pffft!

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
You could shoot a long range missile and hit and it would still stay in the same state.
To blow your mind, Kalgoorlie isn’t even halfway across the width of the state and that’s the short dimension.
If it was an independent country, which was at one point seriously considered, it would be the 10th largest country in the world.
It’s three and a half times bigger than Texas.
The Texas mind cannot comprehend this.
But it would go from Westlock to Athabasca. Checkmate, atheists.
Surely Storm Shadow and the French variant can go further then that being aircraft launched?
And ffs Germany send then Tarus.
Long range would be when they could hit Moscow, a stretch calling these long range.
Yeah, that’s how secret weapon deals are done.
