Probably wrong...
Kind of, but there's a little more to it. They are a very specific type of nuclear waste....
Hint 2 : The shape of the "containers" is very important.

Yep. Specifically, those are the reactor compartments of decommissioned US nuclear submarines. That's why they're all cylinders - those are hull sections.

Okay, another one. What's this and why does it look so weirdly cool?

That's a type of propulsion not a plane.

Fine. A plane with a ram jet?

Nope. It's a regular jet. Judging by its appearance and the fact it has the classic buffed metal style it is from the 50's. Also USAF

Well it look very short, like the sort of plane that is carried up by another plane, not one that launches itself. Which is a hallmark of attempted Ramjets.
What ever it is I'm betting it is launched from either a larger plane/rocket or slingshot.

It kinda looks like an American attempt to copy the Me-163 rocket fighter.
