The Peacekeeper was a real monster. It was treaty limitations which caused it to go away, not any problem with the missile itself. If we were to actually work at it we probably could have had a new nuke bomb which would fit a 20 MIRV warhead on a Peacekeeper. Sometimes I think we should just call Putin's bluff and agree that it's time to walk away from all those Cold War era treaties. The PRC is the only nation that benefits from them anymore. Time to dust off the neutron bomb schematics? The Peacekeeper had 10 MIRV 300 kiloton warheads Bump that to 20 and you could take out an Iran/Pakistan sized country with a single missile launch. |

When I worked for CAT I was told these were a spinoff from the development of the tractor used to tow MX missles around underground. Not sure how true.
