In Soviet Russia, Firefox was made of cast iron. It's engines had a mean time before failure of 2.68 hours and it's top secret missiles were so top secret, that...well...the pilots were not cleared to know anything about them.
They wanted to store the missiles in a circular auto launcher surrounding the pilot and the reserve fuel tank around him, but they had to settle for the wings due to budget constraints.
This being unlike the brilliant Soviet and successor Russian tank designers who were able to store lots of ammo in all that wasted turret space. POP, goes the weasel.
I bet half their nukes would go off at launch...
Let's hope we never find out.
Censored
Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Quick Firefox lesson..
The visual identity of the famous browser has always been based on flame and its power, which started with the image of a Phoenix bird, a mythological creature, reviving from the ash, and turned into the iconic orange fox. The original name of the browser was Phoenix, which changed to Mozilla Firebird in 2003, followed by the current Firefox name in 2004.
The Creation of the Mozilla Firefox Logo
The very first Mozilla logo, after the decline of Netscape, was a phoenix reborn from its flames. When they had to change their name, they opted for an animal that was not well known on the web at the time. It was the red panda. Unfortunately, people thought that the animal on the Mozilla Firefox logo was a fox. This "firefox" is actually a red panda which is a protected species in Asia. A mistake when translating red panda from Chinese to English is how we got firefox.
The composition of the logo has not changed since 2004: a red panda encircling a blue globe representing the earth. The use of complementary colors orange and blue create an interesting dynamic that brings out the warm colors of the logo. The underlying message is that Firefox is everywhere to help you navigate the web. The creator of the logo was inspired by a passage from his childhood bible about jackals whose tails were on fire
