Previous newspiece about this, was all about the use of a Delta-V sounding rocket, to place the Tolun munition at such a distance and altitude that, it would negate the need to use an aircraft, hence not putting both the aircraft and the pilot in danger.

The smaller of the Delta-V rockets was able to put the missile at an altitude over 100km when launched vertically.
At an angled launch whereby 12-13km altitude is the limit and the launch speed is more moderate, the range of this rocket can easily be doubled, even tripled. After releasing Tolun at altitude, the winged munition should further travel a good 100km whilst gliding without propulsion.
This is in a way such a strategically important weapon that it’s real range will most likely be kept under wraps. We can only speculate.
