I'm sure I'm missing a trick here but what is the purpose of an air-to-air unguided rocket with a nuclear warhead?? Blowing up other planes with 100000% extra risk whether you hit or miss?
There weren‘t any systems to defend large scale fast bombings so they developed this thing which detonated with a time fuze and just took everything out within it‘s blast radius of 300m
Taking out a large swarm of (presumably, nuclear armed) bombers quickly.
Maybe create an EMP blast to destroy communication infrastructure?
