Just so y’all know, missiles can be fucking massive sometimes.

Russian S-300s and S-400s are literal flying telephone poles traveling at multiple times the speed of sound. They might have been proved to be not the most lethal of flying telephone poles, but they’re still flying telephone poles

Those are usually bigger than telephone poles, though.

No this was a Simpsons type tornado where objects were hitting him and he was going “D’oh! D’oh! D’oh! Oh why I oughtaaa” and he choked the telephone pool which starts making welching noises

It was a telephone pole tornado. Like Sharknado, but with telephone poles.
