A oversimplified explanation of The Rapid Dragon concept. It is essentially yeeting pallets of Cruise Missiles out the back of a Cargo Plane. At which point a trigger system activates them and they launch to strike targets.
Essentially Americas Logistics Transport Capacity now has dual purpose Strategic Bomber capability.
For the curious.
