    I don’t think that’s actually real.

    Also a fun fact: Sea Sparrows are some of the missiles used in Ukraine for air defense right now. They’re launching then from Soviet land-based anti-aircraft vehicles somehow.

      When they do this, it’s called a Sea Spaciva. 😏

            All I’m saying is, it’s not a matter of fuel efficiency, it’s a simple matter of weight ratios. A one ton missile cannot be manufactured and deployed without a comparably sized carbon footprint.

      I have not done this but: literally search the post word for word. Weird to just throw out “I don’t think this is real” like we’re in the woods in 1945 and a plane accidentally dropped a ream of newspapers saying the Nazis surrendered.
