formidable SRBM force?

I deleted the passage about US formidable SRBM force. You see, there was only one force to compare to back then, and that is USSR's SRBM force. And compared to it, USA's SRBM force was in no way formidable. USSR had far more missiles, USSR's missiles had longer range, larger warheads. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.50.118 (talk) 01:51, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

engine type

According to Designation Systems, the MGM-52 Lance was powered by a pair of liquid propellant rockets. Orihara (talk) 20:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And there's an interesting story here... The MGM-5 Corporal was the US Army's first tactical nuclear missile, and its main operational problem was its liquid fuel; Other problems were encountered early in its development and deployment but were able to be addressed, but not that one. So its replacement the MGM-29 Sergeant was solid fueled, but was in its turn replaced by the liquid fueled MGM-52 Lance. The evolution of liquid fueled rockets which made this possible is a fascinating subject which we don't seem to cover yet. Andrewa (talk) 14:37, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is fabulous. Wiki skims from other sites claiming it their own then won't allow anyone to delete it.
