I just saw a recent video posted to Youtube last night about the US made SLAM nuclear cruise missile that worked. Thanks to this jerk who posted it, Russia will now know how we did it such a long time ago. We smartly pulled the program after seeing how horrible such a weapon would be and given the advances of ICBMs it was felt not needed anymore.
SLAM was a huge ram jet powered Cruise missile that used a ceramic nuclear reactor to provide the heat inside the ram jet the same way a rocket assist would have after getting it to speed although hotter. They had to develop all kinds of special crap to make the electronics survive the brutal radiation and speed.
It would have been launched from a B-52 a long ways from Russia then sped to the targets the same exact way the Tomahawk does today. The guidance system developed for SLAM is the same one that the Tomahawk uses today. It carried nuclear warheads the same way an ICBM does, it was to drop its nuclear warheads over the targets, then would fly around Russia spewing radiation out its exhaust for a month or so till its nuclear fuel died out, then would SLAM into the ground and would have destroyed and contaminated everything around it for many decades to come.
This is the insane type of weapon that Russia is trying to flight test. The whole world should be jumping on them right now because if they master it like we did, then we are all screwed in a war, not just military targets and the fallout blowing down wind. The entire nation will be screwed along with the ocean it flies over. We need less weapons of insanity not more. Putin is a nut and needs to have his ticket pulled.
