It's 20ft long and just 21 inches wide, essentially a pole with little wings equipped with turbo fan engine and sophisticated guidance. And when multiple are fired at the same time, they can take separate routes at 500 mph and then meet up and hit a target in a coordinated strike. Tom Graham, FOX News.
