I see what your talking about but this Yabhon Thunder is a lot bigger than what I was talking about. I'm sure the thrust needed is very high while the one I was talking about is only about 30 pounds of thrust needed while I'm sure the thrust needed for this one is at least a few hundred pounds. The premise of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Cost_Autonomous_Attack_System is to be a sub munition of 4 launched on one big missile and then the missiles separate and they would be effective against a number of targets and be very cheap. Its thrust is 20 pounds less than the KJ-200 Jetcat which you told me about http://tdi-engines.com/tdi-j45/#spec The warhead of the Yabhon Thunder is 287 pounds while the LOCASS is only 17 pounds. Imagine 20 of those loitering on the battlefield destroying tanks left and right. It is only 3 feet long think how small that is.The UAE has made one already..
Take a look at this, 20 of these can be launched from an F-15E https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/smart/locaas.htm
