Basically, what circumstances could lead to the completion of the U.S Project Pluto cruise missile?
Also how would the Soviets respond?
Info:The missile was powered by an unshielded nuclear reactor which not only leaked radiation but also shed it from its exhaust. Since the device also flew at Mach 3 at extremely low levels it had the potential to kill through its pressure wave alone. However, its real destructive power came from its payload of 16-24 thermonuclear weapons which could be delivered to multiple targets due to the fact that the nuclear-powered missile could potentially stay in the air for days/weeks.
