Steerable mach 10 hypersonic missiles, yeah one of those would be a problem.

So would a coordinated multi-pronged attack by General Zod and his malignant Krypton horde.

LOL, yes.

I have to say I was ignorantly envisioning a straight line missile - maybe launched from a plane - doing mach 10 but of course this is no such thing. This has a re-entry phase and the launch would be spotted well ahead of time.

ABM lasers I guess would make a workable defense. As would shredding the Chinese sats. No need for America to retreat into its “Fortress of Solitude” just yet.
