You know there were some highly improbable weapon systems developed in the 50’s and 60’s.

This sure was one of them.

I liked the old Vigilante nuclear bomber, that squirted the nuke out the arse between the exhaust nozzles. Built a cool plastic model of one. No idea how well that idea worked in real life. Thought the toss method was the only somewhat safe delivery.

The Vigilante did have a short life later as a recon bird, but never saw one up close.
