“What it DOES bring to the party is perhaps the ability to maneuver on its way to the target, to evade anti-missile defenses.”

I’ll bet an advanced Brilliant Pebbles system could handle it. It’s been said that Brilliant Pebbles would’ve completely destroyed Saddam’s Salvo Scud missile attacks during the Gulf War. Unfortunately Slick Willy scrapped the program and it was never re-started.

I was wondering about something similar like a super "pom-pom" 2 pound or "ack-ack" guns they used in World Wars I and II where they can launch flak and shells up to high altitudes.
