So your saying an African AA Missle can carry a cocunut 3000 knoticle miles, and still make it ashore, and the coconut intake with juices and all?

Of interest, the Phoenix AIM-54C does 5 mach.  Because of its interesting flight profile (ballistic trajectory up to 100,000 feet) for maximum range, it is probably going pretty fast still when it hits.

Imagine that 2 coconuts tethered together and then mounted near the base of the missile.  Perhaps even placed in a sack and tied to the base of the missle.  See if you can picture that configuration in your mind.

Arming time 0,5 seconds, 4 second fuse, mishandling can lead to catastrophic long-term effects.
