i worked on SSBNs. The unclassified accuracy of a warhead is hitting within a baseball diamond. They just go up and fall off a sled. Little bit of navigation using the stars and good to go.
Its entirely possible that we can stick kinetic warheads on the missile. i have never actually seen or heard of its existence, but we always heards rumors about exotic allow warheads.
i dont see why it wouldnt be easy to use the energy from the re-entry in a kinetic weapon instead of a warhead.
Yeah, exactly. This idea seems much more practical and the energy would be conserved to some extent. The biggest drawback to my thinking is it would look exactly like an ICB(Nuclear)Missile strike.
its interesting to contemplate what exactly a ton of tungsten or depleted uranium hitting the earth at typical re entry speeds of a warhead would do. i think its 14k mile an hour for the trident warheads.
would be sick to see it being tested
