    So let’s you want to yeet this over 1000km from a NATO country to Moscow.

    You’d need at least 3000 m/s of velocity to do this (a ton more since this without air resistance).

    A fletcher class destroyer is around 2000 tons.

    So you’d need more than 8 terajoules or 2 kilotons of TNT.

      Sounds pretty doable with enough boosters and struts. Pretty sure I’ve flung worse in KSP
