From the 70s to the end of the Cold War France deployed its own tracked vehicle launched battlefield nuclear missile, Pluton.
A truck and trailer mounted replacement Hades was entering service as the Cold War ended.

Rapid dragon concept allow you to load cruise missile inside pallets and put on common cargo aircraft, then these cargo aircraft can launch all short of cruise missiles and bombs just like a bomber.
For example: a C-17 can carry and launch 32 JASSM/LRASM missile
For comparison, a dedicated...

Stuff that too late I've found at eBay already being sold to other eBayer, but it proves that AGM-129 scale drawings were released by GD. All my attempts to contact buyer went nowhere. Anyone happy to have those and can share/sell them?

Interesting. I seem to recall there was a proposed Russian cruise missile design that also used a propfan. The ol' memory is a bit fuzzy on the details, but I seem to recall some sort of mid-fuselage mounted prop.........

(anybody remember this book? :) )
I use to have this book years ago and in it there was a picture of a proposed 747 cruise missile carrier. It would have had nine of those 8-round rotary launchers that could apparently move around in the aircraft as the launch position was to the rear. Does...
I'm pretty certain that SENIOR PROM was a competitor to the Northrop Program that became TSSAM (AGM-137A/BGM-137B). Whereas SENIOR PROM clearly builds on SENIOR TREND experience, TSSAM (under various code names) clearly builds on TACIT BLUE experience. Beyond that, I'd rather not comment.
