Why does it look like a jet engine duct taped to a bomb?
- Because that's pretty much what it is. Theres a guidance system in there too somewhere
  
  Well technically it's a jet engine strapped to a rocket powered missile. Rocket for take off and jet for cruising.
- Because that is a time-proven design ever since the first cruise missile?

- Because it is, with a guidance syatem.
Ukraine's Minister of Defense, Denys Shmyhal, called the weapon very powerful. He promised to reveal more details when a key moment arrives.
Key moment being the destruction of all Russian oil refineries west of Novosibirsk?
- The details will be revealed kinetically
Oh no how unfortunate.
So when are they going to launch a dozen or so of these at the Kerch bridge?
