FNC reported that some of the missles weren't SCUD'S, but were Sunburns. This is a very high speed cruise missle, designed to carry a Soviet tactical nuke to a US CV Battlegroup.
It's hard to believe that they were allowed anything like that

A Sunburn only has a 65M range. It also needs targeting radar.
