Yep,, test was a success, said it was like hitting a bullet with a bullet.

What is a game changer is a stealth or invisible reentry vehicle. If you can't track it, you can't kill it.
This will require some kind of force field or electronic shield in place. EHF radar on satellites might work or following the flight path from launch, but the satellites would also need chemical lasers or some kind of projected energy weapon. I don't think EMP would work against a reentry vehicle.
I think Kim will be gone before that technology hits the street.
If you ever decide to push that Big Red Button, you should know that yours may not make it to us, but ours (and we do mean plural) are sure as hell going to get to you. And we KNOW where you are.
You play cards? That's what's known as a TRUMP.
Dear Gerbil Boy,

I pray to God above and all that is holy that we don't retaliate with nukes!! Carpet bomb, artillary and MOAB the place but us using a modern nuke in retaliation will be bad. We have a lot of troops over there and not all Koreans need vaporized.
Proved it on Kwajalein built one in North Dakota had it up and running
and it got shut down with less then 24 hours of up time

China will take care of it for us. I haven't heard to the 150,000 man task force being withdrawn from the border yet. It is to their advantage to do it.
Nothing new we built a system that worked 40 years ago.

Intercepting the warhead or platform of multiple warheads in the sub-orbital is an entirely different problem than intercepting warheads in the terminal phase. We havent't done it before, and it is a significant technological and political developement.

The U.S. does not need to drop a BIG NUKE. Half a dozen small size that are "cleaner". If not, a few more should get the job done.
The guy thinks he's God and so do the citizens, people like that need to be stopped immediately, preferably NO LOSS of american lives.
Nuke(s) dropped on Japan in WWII were estimated to save 50K american troops and millions of Japanese.

The N Koreans have thousands of ground based artillery within range of ~ 20 million people in Seoul and Inceon alone, probably another million in smaller towns also in range for conventional weapons along the boarder.
There are over 7 million more people in 9 majors coastal cities. Not saying the NK Navy could hit them all, But that means over 21 million people in a country of ~ 50 million in range without anyone crossing the border.
Maybe .5 million in NK also in range of the border in a country of ~ 21 million.
Seems like no way anything can end well if it starts, even with just conventional weapons from the north.
The "EKV" seeks out missile threats and demolishes them out in space before they even have the chance to come near American home soil.

We've had lasers with punch since '89.
You can bet there's more than a few of those 747s floating around out in that area....

They have not demonstrated a reliable single much less a MIRV capability.
Run silent. Run deep...
Go NAVY
Spent way to much time in ND getting the thing going then
to have it killed it worked for the tech at the time
it was good.
No genius but spent two years of my life working on it
We had multiple intercepts at all levels at Kwajalien.

I would imagine it did not die in that much of the knowledge gained was used in the upgrade of the Patriot to PAC-2 and PAC-3 anti-ballistic missile configuration.
Did not intend to suggest anything negative about the Safe Guard System, only that it had a very different mission than the interceptor tested Tuesday. As you note both of these systems stretch or stretched the available technology.

In Vietnam The b-52's came down when The Russians just turn off all electronics on the Sam Missiles and detonated them at a set predetermined altitude and firing the SAM's off the launch pad to intercept the bombing run manually on the ground. A dumb projectile has a better chance getting through with electronic counter- counter measures.

Put the warhead onto a fishing boat, sail into the Pacific, transfer to a cargo ship, and sail into US port.
They have sniffing technology to find nuclear devices.With Technology of seeing all ships and boats at sea coming/going into ports. An conventional EMP bomb would be their best bet.

The U.S. military is (rightly so) interested in further developing this technology, with the U.S. Navy hopeful that it can be adapted to detect mines at the bottom of the sea. (Currently, the hydrogen in water slows down neutrons, making it impossible to detect an explosive unless it?s located within three feet of the water?s surface).
It was a big disappointment we where ready to go to Baltimore to build the second one six where on the books at that time.
Nixon signed the salt two treaty and a whole bunch of us found our self unemployed
Have you ever saw a 24 ft klystron tube, we where worried that the
MSR would cook Canadian geese as they flew over head.
The Canadians were not to hot on the nuc armed sprint intercepting
in their air space
