In a press release, police say the device is “in fact a Douglas AIR-2 Genie (previous designation MB-1), an unguided air-to-air rocket that is designed to carry a 1.5 kt W25 nuclear warhead”.
I’m sure I’m missing a trick here but what is the purpose of an air-to-air unguided rocket with a nuclear warhead?? Blowing up other planes with 100000% extra risk whether you hit or miss?
There weren‘t any systems to defend large scale fast bombings so they developed this thing which detonated with a time fuze and just took everything out within it‘s blast radius of 300m
