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

Taking out a large swarm of (presumably, nuclear armed) bombers quickly.
Maybe create an EMP blast to destroy communication infrastructure?
There is no risk when you hit or miss if you blow that thing over some filthy third-worlders. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
