Why does it look like a jet engine duct taped to a bomb?

[–] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because that's pretty much what it is. Theres a guidance system in there too somewhere

Well technically it's a jet engine strapped to a rocket powered missile. Rocket for take off and jet for cruising.

Because that is a time-proven design ever since the first cruise missile?
