'''Wunderwaffen''' or '''Wonder weapons''' (''singular: '''wunderwaffe''''') is a term originally coined by [[Joseph Goebbels]] to describe new [[high tech]] weapons introduced in a losing war that are supposed to be game changers and turn the tide of a hopeless cause. Such examples are the [[V-1]] and [[V-2]] rockets, the jet-propelled aircraft engine, the Javelin missile, the Switchblade drone, the Brimstone missile, the [[M777 Howitzer]], and the [[HIMAR]] multiple rocket launcher.
