Hitting ballistic missles is a big yawn. All show.
It is still just a Republucan jobs program.
Until landscape hugging cruise missles are destroyed 99% of the time, then don’t sell your bomb shelter.
This country was scared s#!tless a year ago when we feared that NK was obtaining a viable ICBM capability. The whistle actually blew in Hawaii.
A truly effective missile defense system must be able to deal with all threats including ballistic missiles.
Until landscape hugging cruise missiles are destroyed 99% of the time, then dont sell your bomb shelter.
Dealing with cruise missiles involves technology as old a German 88s and ME109s. The cruise missiles can be shot down without any technological breakthrough in defensive antiaircraft technology.
The breakthrough needed there is in timely detection for countermeasures.
Personally, what scares me most, is a weapon being smuggled in by a bunch of "poor little immigrant families" through Yuma.
