That's a pretty neat looking missile with the four nose antennas.
It was also interesting, given how modern it looked to me, to read that
> Talos was the end product of Operation Bumblebee, the Navy's 16-year surface-to-air missile development program for protection against guided anti-ship missiles like Henschel Hs 293 glide bombs, Fritz X, and kamikaze aircraft.[1]
So it was designed based on WWII concerns...I hadn't read about the HS 293 in quite a long time, and didn't expect to see a ramjet missile developed in response...
