Hallstatt in the Cloudy Morning (Vertical Image)

Hallstatt in the cloudy morning.
Though there was no sunrise but during morning twilight, the clearing fog was so beautiful and the city light from the village made the contrast to the background. It looks like this village is floating in the cloud.

Post deployment analysis demonstrated the missile's exceptional accuracy, and the effect on targets was described as devastating. Based on this performance, it is arguably the most advanced weapon of its kind in the world.
Feasibility studies on a possible UK requirement for a Long Range Stand- Off Missile were originally commissioned in 1982, and work was eventually subsumed in 1986 into the NATO seven-nation Modular Stand- Off Weapon programme. This project was however aborted, and the UK subsequently withdrew. With the end of the Cold War the UK's continued need for a stand-off requirement was reviewed and endorsed as part of the Options for Change exercise. An international competition was launched in 1994 to meet the UK's Conventionally Armed Stand Off Missile (CASOM) requirement, and seven companies responded
