A fictional non-explosive configuration of the real TL-2 missile, replacing the explosive warhead with a same-mass tungsten penetrator and lightweight filler.

Technical basis
The real TL-2 airframe, inertial navigation, semi-active laser guidance, and subsonic flight are retained. A dense tungsten rod concentrates impact energy without an explosive detonation; matching the original warhead-section mass preserves center-of-gravity and flight-control assumptions while foam occupies unused volume with minimal weight.
