I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I wonder what the CEP would have been. Consider a bomber position accurate of 400 yards, target position error iro 70 yards, you start with an error of 500 yards. What would the missile have added, 400 yards or more?

Still, 850 kts air burst would have been a bit noisy at the DGZ.

*RS was megaton range but actually just below 1MT.
