(Special thanks to SanDiegoSystems for the fuselage and, most importantly, the idea. And yes, I kind of tricked you — this went to a different company, not BAI.)

Atomic Klounada Experimental Systems presents its most advanced project: the HBA-1 hypersonic missile with a nuclear warhead (HBA stands for Hypersonic Ballistic Arrow – I don’t think I need to explain the “1” part)!

It was developed at the request of Banana Aerospace Industries, which needed a weapon capable of guaranteed destruction of any target and nearly impossible to intercept. Thus, the crazy folks at AKES decided to create something similar to the Russian “Kinzhal,” but combined with the concept of a hypersonic glide vehicle to extend the missile’s range and maneuverability, further reducing the chances of interception.
