    I would remove this photo as it can reveal national secrets.

    As a simple example you could calculate the thrust, range, and ability to turn just by looking at the section and the size of the fuel injector holes.

      There’s a public museum in Southern Arizona with this type of missile.

      It was part of an arms-reduction treaty with the USSR. Both sides had to leave missiles out for satellites to confirm that they had been deactivated and could preserve a facility as a museum.
