What do they learn from doing that sort of thing? Isn't it pretty obvious that if you ram a jet into a brick wall it will disintegrate?

I'm pretty sure this one was about testing the ability for concrete structures in nuclear plants to withstand direct hits from aircraft. Using a leftover F-4 on skids at the right speed can mimic a jetliner.

What game is this?

Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations is the most recent Harpoon-like game that I know of and it has plenty of scenarios that qualify (listed in the "See Also" in the wiki link for Harpoon). It's pretty decent, but pricey even if it's on a good sale. I haven't played the modern scenarios much, and it seems like the J-20 or whatever the Chinese ripoff of the F35 is called is probably way unrealistic in game, but otherwise the naval part is really nice. Except for anything involving swarms of backfires firing supersonic missiles at you - even knowing the scenarios I seem to have issues getting enough F-14's up with enough missiles far enough out to intercept a decent amount of bombers before they can launch.
