umm...silos are for missile protection, not boost. All US nuclear forces are solid propellant. For the record...the one Trident submarine that patrols that area as we sit here could completely destroy N Korea in less than 10 minutes. Thats ONE boat....
We have the best missile technology in the world. We have perfected solid fuel boosters capable of ICBM delivery. NK is far and away from that technology.
Silos really only provide protection from the weather. NK’s problem is that for many, many years they can only launch liquid fuel ICBM’s. Truck launched with extended fueling times and easy to damage.
Sure, we have subs on station now, on both side of NK that would crater every base and airfield they have. Not to mention all of the artillery on the border.
Sure, it would not be much of a fight.
I hope we have learned that winning the peace would be much more difficult.
