1. A Kenetic Kill Vehicle is designed to destroy theater ballistic missile warheads outside the Earth's atmosphere. It impacts its targets at hypersonic speeds (lets say about 6 miles per second). To test it, you use a target that simulates a ballistic missile warhead. A drone pulled by a P-3 doesn't even come close.
2. The Standard Block IVA has been actually fired twice with the first test in 1997. Both tests were in New Mexico. This ain't your TWA800 beast.
3. Pierre Salinger and Mike Sommer are not the sources you want to rest your case on. Salinger has been hiding under his rock ever since revealing to the world his "secret" TWA800 documents that had been floating around the internet for months. Let me quote Salinger during that debacle "Salinger, when asked what type of ship was involved, told New York radio station WCBS it was a ``ship known as the P-3, but I don't know what that means.'' Good, knowledgeable source Acehai. Sommer was his cohort in buffoonary, but apparently wasn't smart enough to know when he was behind. His piece that you quote is an embarrassment to conspiracy nuts everywhere. He's trying to claim a missile first tested in 1997 is the TWA800 culprit. He supports that statement with nothing. The Navy did perform KKV related tests from the Turner in 1995, but they used a modified Standard Block IV. The Block IVA is a TBMD missile. The Block IV is not. That is a HUGE difference. Apparently one that is lost on someone as uncredible as Sommers. Furthermore, apparently the secret Navy KKV tests he talks about were SO SECRET the Navy announced them two days in advance and informed interested parties where they could watch live video of the tests (with coffee available). SCANDALOUS!!! Finally, Sommers can't even get his own sources right. There is no B Gen Burton K. Partin. There is a B Gen Benton K. Partin. If there's a tinfoil hat hall of fame, this guy must be the founding member. This kook first claimed there was undeniable proof TWA800 was taken out with a countinuous rod warhead. Now he believes it's a KKV missile. He also believes the Feds blew up the OKC building and the were responsible for the first WTC bombing. I say again…good source Acehai.
4. I'm not even going to start on your SM-3 comments. Why not just blame everything on the Emperial Deathstar?
Try working on your reading comprehension, Rokke, the spelling leaves a little to be desired, also...Aww I'll overlook the Kenetic Kill Vehicle if you'll give Mike Sommers the benefit of the doubt on ol' Benton/Burton. The source I gave for the following statement that proves you are full of Bull $**T is a Department of Defense site. Try going there if you won't take my word for it. It's easy. Cut and paste, http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/sm-2.htm or Click HERE The salient point in this case is underlined and bold. You should have no difficulty.
The SM-2 Block IVA upgrade is being developed to provide capability against theater ballistic missiles, although it is planned to retain capability against anti-air warfare threats.
2. The Standard Block IVA has been actually fired twice with the first test in 1997.
From the same article...
A System Design Review for SM-2 Block IVA was conducted in December 1993 and a Risk Reduction Flight Demonstration (RRFD) program was initiated in FY 1994. An Environmental Test Round (ETR-2A) was successfully launched in the summer 1996.
Gee...That's a coincidence. The summer of 1996...July, d'ya suppose?
Stan's "sailor story" said something about a Test Round, I believe...
