There is another kind?

The Army is set to mount high velocity surface-to-air missiles...

The sceenshot to the left is from the front page of The Times. They are picking up on journalist Brian Whelan’s discovery that he is going to have surface-to-air (SAM) missiles stationed on the roof of his apartment complex during the Olympics.

Ignoring the whole business about what use said missiles will be, it is Sadie Gray’s (for it is her name on the byline) opening sentence which has aroused my ire.

All missiles are high velocity, FFS. There wouldn’t a lot of point to them otherwise!
