Seems if it goes that fast, then all the target has to do is cut power as soon as it senses the approach, and the missile will probably overshoot. Power cut would be near instantaneous. I doubt anything that fast can make a very tight turn.

Ah, another WWII idea. There was the "Disney bomb", a rocket assisted munition designed, iirc, for the U-boat pens.
Accuracy being what it was in those days...it wasn't all that big of a success.

Aw, they forgot the Firefox. Then again....not everyone can think in Russian. I always wondered how a Mach 5 fighter was able to fire cannons in a dogfight. Silly Hollywood.

Rods from God. Imagine if a country had a robotic space plane that could maneuver in orbit for months at a time, and enough payload capacity to hold several dozen (guess) Tungsten rods.

Do you suppose the Senate wants us to have preemptive stuff that really works?
No!
They’re afraid we’d use it....and then we’d be “arrogant”......

The weapons that will change modern warfare already exist: Three lower-yield nuclear weapons, launched from merchant vessels near the coasts of the United States and detonated in the upper atmosphere would destroy the American economy and disrupt American society for generations.
Spending another cent on any defense R&D before hardening our electronic systems is preparing to fight the last (conventional) war instead of facing the real (terrorist/rogue state) enemy.

Call me when we have one of these orbiting the planet so we can just target the bad guys from space.

The MALD is certainly being oversold. There are existing predecessors to it as well that are already fielded.
