Many of these cruise missiles were developed in the 1970s and technology has made great leaps and bounds since then. You can shoot down a cruise missile. You can actually spoof its GPS system and give it new coordinates or render it useless.They also need to reach a certain point for it to be effective.
Everything halfway down the state of Missouri would be hit by a Soviet warhead.
OSCAR-11 from the movie “The Day After” is still there. Its all fenced in now.
I have not been on base since 1976 when I had to go take a flight physical for the USMC,
It did not work out, sigh
Two of my kids went to CMSU or as it is now known as UCM. They said you would be walking across campus and all of a sudden a BIG shadow would appear and looking up would be a B-2.
Well back to work I must go

Pike is an idiot who has obviously never been tasked with generating nor executing ATOs providing SEAD for B-2 missions. He's given quite a few Prowler squadrons a good chuckle with that bit of BS.
Since when did they rename the “B-2 Bomber”? I specifically remember its name being the “Controversial B-2 Bomber”, at least during the 1980s and 1990s.
I must have missed something.
Secret new bombers are most likely flying in space.
Maybe DARPA knows.
