Just for a frame of reference, the 40-ton blast doors covering ICBM silos in the US are 10 feet thick and made of pre-stressed, steel reinforced, hand-troweled concrete. They were built to withstand a near miss by a 1 MT nuclear device.
Accident investigations have shown that the in-silo explosion of a Titan-2 missile can propel the payload package through the blast door quite easily.
We’re going after BIG game with these babies.
CJ,
I hope I do not violate the loose lips rule, but aren't we retrofitting 4 boomers from Nuke to an exclusive Cruise Missile platform?
These will carry Tactical-Tomahawks which can be converted to this config, if I am reading it right.
Wackmadimijod Checkmate.....
Anyone care to explain how these things work?
I was never good at this stuff, but I don’t see how a missile could penetrate layers of rock and concrete and THEN explode.
It’s not like the leading edge of the missile is a diamond saw and drills down...
