SLAM Was The Armageddon Cruise Missile From Hell

- SLAM was perhaps the most fearsome weapon ever conceived. The missile was designed to deliver as many as 26 nuclear bombs over the Soviet Union in a single mission. It would do this while flying at Mach 3 and less than 1,000 feet above ground level. SLAM’s shock wave overpressure alone (162 dB) would devastate structures and people along its flight path. And, as if that were not enough, the type’s nuclear-fueled ramjet would continuously spew radiation-contaminated exhaust all over the countryside.

The video could be much better if data would be visible in metric system as well
4:46 - the image shows just a regular turbojet. The ramjet has no compressor, neither a turbine.
Burevestnik is the best, and result oriented
Kinda reminds me of Russia's nuclear powered cruise missile. It was impractical in the 50s, and it still is to this day.
But if you can engineer it then there’s a possibility that you learn something
_" ... the goal was to create a UNMANED missile ..."_
alrighty then ... you einstein! lol
Incredible, it can make it half way around the world with a 98k mile range. That is impressive and once thought impossible.
The circumference of the Earth is 25,000 mi. That's not halfway around the world at 98K. It could literally go around the Earth almost four times at 30,000 ft.
Oh really? Do I believe some CZcams comment or a highly respected military journalist?
Ah, the flying crowbar. It has long been a reference for insanity on Spacebattles.
targable? sounds dangerous!
This was a concept weapon that was never produced. Why? The nuclear engine left a radioactive trail that would kill the people under the flight path. Not so great if you're launching over your own or allied territory.
This is madness for sure. Even the XB-70 had never adeguate weapons due the high temperaturse reached during the prolungated mach 3 flight, so go figure if a missile would fly at 3.5 mach at low level, it would be surely enough to even melt a titanium structure and any electronic inside!
It's skin was Inconel. They used that in the X-15. Could handle the heat just fine.
@@sferrin2 X-15 flew at 100 km altitude, evidently you cannot appreciate the difference. Not talk about the heat generated, too much for the XB-70 bomb bay, that flew in the stratosphere.
@@Diadema033 Ye Gods. The people who engineered it knew a hell of a lot more than some rando keyboard warrior. Ask someone to teach you how Google works and find out for yourself. As it is you just sound like an angry 12 year old.
My wife on a broom stick 😂
Putin is attempting to build one now.
We had nuclear submarines and a nuclear carrier so I don't understand what the problem was with the nuclear propulsion.
Heating air means particles can escape, while a regular nuclear reactor heats water in a contained system.
Someone already addressed the containment in those ships. But also you got this thing flying around the surface of the planet, and it can do that four times because the circumference of the Earth is 25,000 mi not 200,000 mi. This video is off on the 98 k range getting it halfway around the world. It could go around the world almost four times. Anyways you're flying over open territory and cities and so on and so forth. And if it crashes and you got a problem. And the speed of the crash could rupture the nuclear warheads even though they're not armed they could potentially leak from the impact of the crash. Though not likely they're pretty.... well no back in the 1950s designers were not really all that focused on safety. So yeah you could probably rupture those warheads and cause a leak that way. It wouldn't blow up it would just leak radiation.
Also is it crashed you got an issue with security. If it crashed an enemy territory the enemy could potentially recover those warheads. Whereas a intercontinental ballistic missile when the warheads reenter they are over enemy territory but armed. On the way up they're over friendly territory roughly friendly territory definitely not enemy territory.
Apples and hand grenades.
Subs and surface ships don't have to support the weight of the reactor with aerodynamic lift. Nuclear propulsion for air breathing vehicles just doesn't make sense - not to mention the environmental issues.
雄風三？
The U.S of the 1960s is where Russia is today.
Yes, but with a nutcase in charge.
❤😂🎉😢😮😅
Other than to fill space, what is the point of all the short clips of Russian launch vehicles? Waste of time.
I swear you just starred to repeat your points over and over, trying to get close to 10mins, like me trying to pad out an easy the night before it's use.
Small and more concise videos will be much better, thanks.
