China tests 'phantom space strike' that tricks defence systems in nuclear attack
UK Mirror ^ | 2/21/2023 | Tim Hanlon

China has successfully tested new “phantom space strike” technology that can trick missile defence systems by emitting fake target signals from space in a nuclear attack, it is reported.

Military engineers said computer simulations of the weapon system have achieved positive results earlier this month.

It has been designed so that three spacecraft blast out radio interference that tricks enemy forces into launching interception equipment in the wrong direction.

Researchers worked on the idea of saturating the enemy's response by sending out decoy signals.

The spacecrafts' direction, speed and formation are decided before the launch and are based on the information obtained about the enemy's radar station.

That might not end well for Three Gorges or Beijing.

Not a problem for us, since we never bothered to build any missile defenses against ICBMs. I guess now that the Neocons trying to start WW3, I wonder if we’ll change our minds?

What? This will be news to the good folks stationed at Fort Greely and Vandenberg Air Force Base.

The Sprint missile system in the 70’s was badass but Congress shut it down.

Great, doesn’t do a bit of good where I live.

I heard they were planning to test sending balloons with various payloads to see how confused the US forces would be.
Oh, wait.

Should have General Douglas MacArthur use the 30-50 nukes on China. The general wanted smaller tactical ones. General Patton was correct in we should have rearmed the Germans and kept going until Russia unconditionally surrendered.

Oh well.

That was the thing, we were our own worst enemy. And it’s funny how the people who cut their teeth giving us the “Peace Movement” now seem hell-bent on WW3.

Oh I don't think our missile defenses will work against any potential adversary (not North Korea and definitely not China or Russia), but we have them.

Now I know EXACTLY what that means. It wasn’t that they were against World War, or World Domination, it was THEY (the Left, including the Neocons) needed to be the World Dominators.

Yeah, I figured as much...Russia and China are FAR BEYOND simple to hit nukes.

Be a real shame if they tricked a barrage of nukes on their heads while doing a test.

I might not be able to keep myself from laughing out loud.

Computer simulations of nonexistent Chinese technology always work well.

Fortunately we have Starfleet to defend us. Our CGI is much better than China’s.

Russia, China and Iran tend to roll out propaganda about their magic weapons when they are losing and want to buy time. Putin needs more time to build up his forces now.

We have quite a few different anti-missile defenses operating now for a multilayered umbrella defense. The enemy has silly flack defenses that won’t work. That’s why he complains so much about our defenses and disseminates so much propaganda through useful idiots with claims that our defenses don’t work.

Notice that China rolled out this funny fake news right after Putin’s latest nuclear threat and failed Satan missile test.

That’s why Trump created the Space Force, to fight the Reds in space if necessary.
