We can detect and destroy these instantly.
Never forget , the modern weapons the public is aware of was modern 20 years ago.
Also the same with Russia. Good reasons to have reciprocal relationships with other nations
Very plausible indeed. However, with this missile clipping along at Mach 10 (10 miles/4.69 sec), that's going to be an extremely accurate counter-meaaure (laser?) needed to down it. I know we have Laser systems ( I was testing RFIED jamming systems in Yuma, AZ when advanced Laser systems were being tested) so it could be possible.
Forget ground-based lasers. Cloud cover will defeat them completely, they are not powerful enough, and they will have no effect on re-entry vehicles which are already designed to survive a high-temperature environment. (Your speed reference is unintelligible. I think you mean to say 2.1 miles/second, or 3.43 km/sec.) Their apogee altitude will be approximately a quarter of their range distance.
LOL! I should have made a legal disclaimer that I'm not a math prodigy nor a rocketer physicist, just based my post on simple hillbilly math-a-matics using Wikipedia (1st mistake?) as the source, Mach 1 (speed of sound) = 767 mph. Mach 10 = 10x speed of sound, 10 x 767 = 7670 mph? So... yes 7670 ÷ (60 x 60) = 2.13 miles/sec. To quote Roger Clemons: "I miss-remembered" my math...That's still mind-blowing fast!?! Like Putin said, they cant stop it! Stay safe fren!! NCSWIC WWG1WGA
