ICBM away!


I don't care how drunk they were, I like it.

This is either Cold War ingenuity at its finest or a perfect example of world-class cocking about.

    Before this we had the moribund Skybolt ALBM, which resulted in RAF Vulcans being built with fittings for pylons for missiles that were never available.

    After it, we had the more sensible idea of a 747 loaded with CRSL rotary missile "clips", on tracks, with about 20 launchers per plane with six ALCMs per launcher. If you're a belligerent small-to-medium-sized "enlightened state", 240 ALCMs coming in at once can ruin your whole day.

    cheers

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
