Fuckin SLAM (Supersonic Low Altitude Missile), one of the coolest canceled projects of the cold war. Not only was this a nuclear powered cruise missile, but it also had multiple warheads on standby, ready to dispense over any pre-programmed target.
If the enemy couldn't shoot this fucker down soon enough, it could rain hell on many cities long after conventional bombers have either landed or been shot down. The thing that killed the SLAM was ICBM's, their destruction was much more prompt, accurate, and assured.
A standoff weapon meant to prevent the enemy from retaliating against a potentially crippled USA would be great even today, but if our enemies had the same capability it would be a potentially hellish scenario, with few 'qualified' survivors (as in ones who could rebuild the government EFFECTIVELY).
