The Chandelier cruise missile is notable for its unique method of deployment: instead of being launched from a ground site, the missiles are loaded into an special shell called "Stauros", which is then fired from the Chandelier. Once it arrives at the target destination, the Stauros chute shatters, at which point the loaded missiles will ignite their engines and head towards the target. These missiles, as seen the picture, have a massive size, being approximately as long as an SR-71 Blackbird's fuselage. However, their size appears to be a disadvantage, as the missiles have an unusually low movement speed (about 200 K/MH.) The missiles seem to carry a heavy payload, as evidenced by the massive explosion caused by one upon impact.
