|    Sounding Rockets for Ukraine    |
|    23 Oct 22 22:11:15    |
      From: eaglesondouglas@gmail.com              I remember the term, sounding, rocket. In the cold war days they may have       been used by both sides to test the early warning radar. They       were physically small.              And they were mostly undetectable. Think of a two foot long re-entry cone.       This is extremely useful to test NORAD. The local police would say "what the       hell is that" when found by accident. They targeted the plains areas near US       operations, like out in the the plains region.              I would just say "stay cool" if found in Ukraine.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
