They designed and fielded missiles that did just that in the 60's/70's

You’re wasting your time man. This “Dufuskie” person is a fucking moron. All they’re trying to do is troll, and the best they can do is to keep calling people “dearie” and “my child”. Condescending fuck. S/he has decided to try to get under my skin with that “dearie” bullshit on another post from FTA. I’ve just taken…

It’s not exactly an established theater as Iraq or Afghanistan was.

Once in the atmosphere, if they’re not the same density, they’ll fall at a different rate. They’re easy to spot then, but then again, you’re 30 or less seconds away from detonation at that point. Spotting them before is much harder, esp. if the decoys and the warhead are maneuvering.

Shooting down an ICBM mid-course is the best option short of blowing it up during the boost phase. It would take just over 30 mins for an ICBM warhead to reach the US from Asia. 20 of those minutes is “mid-course” when the weapon system is just “cruising” over the earth and is easier to track.

Yup, and you get a nice cloud of space junk going around. Tearing up all our nice satellites.

Such a system has a lot of vulnerabilities. Things in orbit are super easy to track, so they could be easily destroyed by the enemy during a first strike. Also anything in space can be fairly easily manipulated/hijacked with something like the X-37. Even if you notice an enemy spacecraft stealing your orbital nukes,…

No I don’t even if they did pose a very serious danger.

If you want to take everything on faith, there’s a couple of nice young men in white shirts and slacks here would would like to tell you the good news about Jesus.

How many missile engagements were there during the cold war between Russia and the USA?

The point I was making is in neither of those examples did these planes face credible opposition.

And North Koreans will pay for it.

Anyone remember the Charlie Brown of defense systems bit on the West Wing?

The only proper response a president should say about submarines is “What submarines?”

Yes, the President should not be remarking on the locations of submarines, nobody should. They are meant to be stealthy and while the Chinese probably knew that there are subs there, now they know exactly how many.

In case of autopilot failure, just blow to reinflate.
