Why does it look like a jet engine duct taped to a bomb?

Because that's pretty much what it is. Theres a guidance system in there too somewhere

Well technically it's a jet engine strapped to a rocket powered missile. Rocket for take off and jet for cruising.

Because that is a time-proven design ever since the first cruise missile?

Because it is, with a guidance syatem.

Ukraine's Minister of Defense, Denys Shmyhal, called the weapon very powerful. He promised to reveal more details when a key moment arrives.

Key moment being the destruction of all Russian oil refineries west of Novosibirsk?

The details will be revealed kinetically

Oh no how unfortunate.

So when are they going to launch a dozen or so of these at the Kerch bridge?
