Correct. The Genie anti-aircraft nuclear weapon had no guidance system, and was therefore a rocket, not a missile.

- joyeuse6701 13y agoI was kind of in surprise at the wording too, I didn't believe they would use a nuclear anti aircraft weapon, it seemed overkill, and then I read the rationale of the genie. I'm surprised to say the least.
- aaronem 13y agoHardly overkill, when you consider these weapons were designed for use against squadrons of nuclear-armed Soviet bombers, and the abysmal performance of fighters and interceptors against bomber squadrons during World War II.
