There is quite a bit of scuttlebutt out there recently about the capabilities of our military strike equipment to potentially take out a North Korean missile if it is indeed launched on the US or one of its allies.
Many of the armchair generals out there in the fields, forests, and mountains of America believe that if the rogue nation ever decides to do the unthinkable and launch nuclear missiles, that the US military will immediately and successfully knock them out of the skies before they ever manage to get near their target.
Other more conventional thinkers appear somewhat positive that we would be mightily successful in thwarting any imminent danger if we have enough of a warning and a window of opportunity to act.
Then there is the third camp who believe that all of the rhetoric, cockiness, and surety about our military preparedness for any strike that North Korea could muster is not only overstated, but dangerously close to DEAD WRONG!
Turn to the next page to hear more about why some are worried that a chance to knock out a nuclear warhead launched by our enemies is just a pipedream and how it’s very possible that we are not equipped at all to stop a missile once it has been launched!
99%
North Korea has 15,000 missiles for Naval defense on its coastline and 200 miles out. 85,000 missiles for air defense operations. Ground and DMZ will have 115,000 missiles. North Korea factories can turnaround another 215,000 missiles every four days. So with thousands missiles in play and North Korea playing defense in home country and terrain, that translates into more missiles reaching targets than not.
Of course
A good plastering with conventional weapons oils do grevious damage to NK and perhaps erase some of their missile sites. But I do hope NK doesn’t use nuclear weapons.
patriot missles will do the trick
Wtf!? This is suppose to be classified, right?
Yep. I know those that have seen it done.
No$#%&!@*
They treat opsec like their dildos
No, Regan wanted to protect us but Congress said it was too expensive…
I don’t think it was ever built, especially after the Soviet Union collapsed.
Unfortunately at that point greedy multination corporations and bankers invested in China so they could take advantage of slave labor or scare us with China’s client state.
Welcome to perpetual war, like in “1984”.
Great for business!
