As always with works of fiction, this story is purely the invention of my imagination, and is not meant to describe any real-world persons, organizations, events, places, or plans. Any resemblance to an actual person, place, or thing is purely coincidental.
Development and production of the AGM-131 attack missile (SRAM II) and the AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles described in this story were canceled in 1991. Supposedly the Russians canceled development of their new nuclear sub- and air-launched cruise missiles at the same time. We shall see.
