I assume that a fuel/air explosive has less energy than TNT, so the missile must carry a payload of at least 100,000 tons of fuel to mix with air. I wonder what it weighs at launch.

I didn't push it that far. After I figured out ergs per ton of TNT, and looked up a table of liquid fuels, I called quits.

As I said, even a cook can see the numbers are utter bullsquat.
