I’ve seen some folks address this already with the idea this may not be our premier tech even now.
I agree with your take on it, and those observation as well.
And those predictions came after human life on earth ended when the Population Bomb exploded.
Just make them think you did?
Agreed...
Thanks for the outside the loop thoughts.
Would be nice if you’re right.
Watched a video earlier that talked about our people in Alaska, and that they train each and every day for just such a real life scenario.
It looks like they are taking this serious, and are preparing for it.
Yes, the propaganda value would be off the charts (funny).
What a hoot...
Uh oh! Now we’re gonna get it!
NorkBoy is gonna nuke us big time! and then he is going to get out of the bathtub and his admire-als and gener(flect)als will towel him off.
Not a vet, but I love all our services, Air Force too.
I agree.
Interesting comments, and I can’t say if you’re right or wrong.
Not sure what choice we had since this threat is quickly becoming real.
You alluded to that as well.
I’m not sure if China or Russia have the tech yet, but the next Clinton or Obama is certain to make sure at least China has it. Maybe Russia will be useless as a bargaining chip by then, and they’ll get the tech too gratis.
Exactly. Fortunately for the Left, the White population bomb never detonated.
Job done!

I think he has the prior year’s model. LOL
Good one...
A MIRV would have overwhelmed any extant 1970s-era ABM system, including Safeguard. The basic problem with ABM systems of that era, even before the advent of MIRVs, was inadequate coordination speed of the detection, guidance, and control technology relative to target speed.
“but the general tech of using an explosive to take out the incoming warhead eliminates the need to have a direct impact with the object, thus a higher likelihood of success.”
At the speeds they are going they explosion would have to be HUGE to have any chance. The window to blow up near each other is microscopic. Before the explosion expands they are WAY past. Only your only bet would be to put an expanding cloud of shrapnel in front of the warhead but even then how many pieces are going to hit? And how hard is it to armor against tiny scraps of shrapnel?
The interceptors of hold had NUCLEAR tips. There is no way to get an effective amount of conventional explosive to match that.
