Had another intense dream today. Two flights, one of 4 21st century Hind size attack helicopters (think Super S-67) and the other of 4 21st century Su-25 type, headed down into South America to stop a gold heist and a bank robbery respectively. A runway sabotage at the allied airbase destroyed several other aircraft and left mine severely damaged. It had taken us two days to fly down there, for whatever dream reason, so replacement aircraft were immediately necessary, so I asked about launching a rocket from the factory with 4 cocooned helicopters for an air drop. My technical expert said sure it had been tested, but it's a bit extreme, but if you want to go ahead with it, it would be 8 hours prep from order to launch...and then the birds would be there relatively quick.
AHHHH, the stuff that dreams are made of........................
..................BUT THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MOMENT.
These days, with as complex and expensive as rockets are (and something for a task of the above might be bigger than a Delta IV Heavy), it is probably preposterous to even consider something today.
But perhaps in the early days, maybe back when we thought that modern war would involve heavy tanks hurling atomic shells at each other, were "we" thinking of all the great things that ballistic rockets could do for us?
For delivery of those supplies when they have to be there, absolutely, today.
