"SPRINT" MISSILE


The Sprint was a two-stage, solid fuel anti-ballistic missile (ABM) armed with a W66 enhanced-radiation thermonuclear warhead. It was designed to intercept incoming reentry vehicles. Sprint accelerated at 100 g, reaching a speed of Mach 10 in 5 seconds.


Comment: It seems inconceivable that anything could go from zero to 7,610 miles per hour in 5 seconds. And, this is now ancient technology. (JKS)
