The device did not have any deadly warhead, and is "basically a gas tank for rocket fuel", police say.

    This has to be one of the craziest weapons ever made. An unguided, nuclear, air-to-air rocket.

        Project Pluto has a few words as well. Well, mostly just the one word, but it screams it repeatedly.

          Continuously to be technical, since it’s a ramjet.

            I was referring to the extra nukes it drops along the way, but yeah the nuclear ramjet also causes devastation all the way along the flight path

      I would guess that it was intended as an interceptor weapon. It wouldn’t be used on one plane but a group Bears flying over the Arctic circle.
