      What sort of name is that for a missile? Next you'll be telling me it's launched from the F-35 furburger.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Do you reckon it would face a standoff from the Israeli Shavit missile?

        Some great NATO names for SAMs:

        SA-10 Grumble
        SS-19 Stiletto
        SS-15 Scrooge
        SS-18 Satan
        SS-3 Shyster
        SS-1 Scunner
        SS-N-22/ASM-MSS Sunburn
        SS-17 Spanker
        SS-N-1 Scrubber
        SS-N-15 Starfish
        AS-4 Kitchen

          A proper British name that.
          Indeed zeity, you'd almost hope they'd attach a pair of big floppy ears on the rocket...
