throwing radioactive debris all over my territory to own the yankees. did they learn nothing from soviet missile programs? fucking waste of money, you can already kill everything it doesn't matter if you can make one do loop-de-loops
It actually does matter because it allows you to bypass missile defenses.
no, it doesn't. first-strike brinkmanship is made up, your country & the world at large are dead whether or not you destroyed 15% of the enemy's second-strike capability with your billion dollar extra special missile
yeah lol, you're not going to be able to nuke every submarine that's out there lying in wait. the only potential advantage of something like this is that it flies for long enough for you to be able to possibly call it off without detonation
