Yes ...listen to what that pseudo intellectual says ....Did they really say that? I wonder what they smoke that makes them fart so loud. They're just fooling their own people and themselves.
cheerleading is your identity
24 miles.
It missed its target by over 20 miles. We already knew China had the capability to nuke the US. So it didn’t really change the game.
Meanwhile the US has already demonstrated the capability to launch an ICBM ranged conventional HGV at Mach 17 and hit within 6in of its target.
Its a really really bad first strike weapon. The US maintains a network of infrared observing satellites that will detect and track the launch from early on. It will also have to pass dedicated space surveillance radars such as the one in Exmouth Australia, pass over countries such as India that will track its launch and have a reasonable chance of passing over numerous ships with the capacity to track objects at high altitude.
Launching one would put the US on alert. There is zero chance of a large scale series of launches that could constitute a first strike going un-noticed.
The days of a FOBS being able to be used as a first strike were the 60s when the theory was the US lacked the radar coverage outside of its norther borders to observe these kind of attacks. They would launch bombs that would detonate very high and create EMPs to allow the follow on attack.
But by the 70s the spreading network of radars and satellites plus the hardening of equipment to EMP made this pointless and the Soviets ditched the plan.
I suspect this is either a technological dead end, or something else such as a space plane being mis-reported.
Its just such a bad idea.
It's a regret more and more Americans behave like Indian clowns laughing stock
