So there....
I am not buying it yet...
ADM Stufflebeam said some pretty dumb things, like contrails from his jet back in the day, etc. This is NO CONTRAIL for a jet. He also intimated that si was small, this is NOT small.
He should have just said, you know, I don’t know jack!
OK so we have DOD,NORAD and Air Space Command saying different things all day. Now I See this explanation for the 3rd time. Do they think we are idiots, a freelancer shooting a rocket. This is very strange.
Doesn’t Smith sound like he’s hopped up on something? Or does he always act this giddy?
No disrespect- I just didn’t think the admiral had really gotten a grasp on the situation yet- he’d only seen the video once.
If this was something really serious wouldn’t the cables be told on background and asked to sort of standby?
Me neither. You can count on just a few hands and feet the number of sub platforms that can launch these large missiles. I used to know every single ship, including USSR SSG and SSBs.
I don't know how or if it could happen, but if a Trident lifted off with an active physics package (w88s MIRVd), it is a HUGE national security event with global war consequences.
You just don't light off exoshperic missiles nowadays without some commo between nuclear powers.
I have no idea what happened. If I had to place bets, they would go in this order:
1) Top secret test in known test area.
2) Terrorist attempt at container launch of SCUD from cargo ship (they are trying to do it folks, sorry).
3) Paki ISI sending not-so subtle message to quit drone attacks or not to cozy with India, their mortal enemy.
4) Accidental launch of US Trident (I can't fathom that)
5) New Chinese SSB/SSBN launching a SLBM (very unlikely)
6) NORKS launching a container SCUD (also very unlikely)
7) Russia Delta IV from Pacific fleet launching SLBM (very very very unlikely) and (we would have heard the vodka bottles dropping on the missle compartment decks before they got off the continental shelf).
Anyways, I'm out of ideas...definately an SRBM, IRBM, ICBM, or Gasp...SLBM!
