Public Peek at New Bomber and Snark Rocket
The U S Air Force unveils a long range pilotless bomber able to carry an atomic warhead about 5000 miles and a 60 foot rocket in development for a 2100 mile intermediate ballistic missile. The Snark bomber autonomously navigates via star sightings but remains far from the intercontinental ballistic missile goal.
