The Hi-TASM (High-Power Thermobaric Air Suppression Missile) was a weapon deployed by the Valahia and the Golden Axe Plan Private Army. It causes a massive, vaporising explosion at low altitude. Altitudes affected are 200-1000m,1000-2000m, and below 1000m.

TriviaEdit

• It is very similar to the SWBM in Ace Combat X and Xi used on the Gleipnir and Gandr. However, whereas the SWBM destroys via shockwave (hence the name), which is similar to a shockwave generated by a nuclear/hydrogen bomb (although far more extreme than either), the Hi-TASM's injects a high-explosive gas into the surrounding area before igniting in a massive explosion. This is similar to current Fuel Air Explosive munitions. The SWBM also has a huge blast radius while the Hi-TASM has a very tiny range.
• The explosion of an SWBM is bluish-green while the Hi-TASM has the normal fiery explosion.
• In the real world, TASM means Tomahawk Anti-Ship Missile, an anti-ship long-range cruise missile.
