Overall its a better performer due to the quasi thrust vectoring using ceramic coated Jackson type nozzles. Cantg beat that, especially with its dual ranged pulse based acquisition and targetting radar systems with forward terrain prediction algorythms to optimize intercept flight paths. Throw all that into a blender and add a 50 pound Yeuritz shaped explosive warhead with Packette Discharge System and you have one hell of a potent killer.

I assure you that the love rocket is a better performer, with better thrust, and a more powerful latex coated nozzle.

I hear that the rocket prefers operation without the latex nozzle, despite the increased dangers.

The rocket can experience corrosion without proper protection.

Well sure, but the explosion is pretty tremendous without it.

It can overwhelm unprepared targets.

I hear it's especially effective in and around the mouth.

... Uh, shouldn't you link that to rocketry somehow?

I think we're beyond that by now.

You should have had him yell "tertiary fund!" Now that would have gotten a reaction!

I'm not even sure I know what a tertiary fund is. The rocket dorks can probably explain it to us though. 😀

For whatever reason the phrase "Red Rocket" just popped into my head.

I wasn't aware that the SA-8 was equipped with anything like thrust vectoring.

Its not 😱
I just wanted to sound cool for a minute, and throw out some techno babble.

hehehe pwned!

i just picked the one with the biggest number

 

[futuristicmonkey]

I'm not too familiar with Soviet SAM's, but gimme a SS-18 Satan (the biggest mufvcker there is) or a SS-20 with it's M.A.R.V. ( manouverable re-entry vehicles ) or on the U.S. side of thngs, a LGM-118 Peacekeeper. Those things are fvcking bad-ass too.
