With a SLAM spewing radiation as it goes, however, you're stuffed either way.
- dx034 9y agoIf you shoot it down at high altitude, wouldn't winds carry most of the radiation around the planet? Doesn't make it better for humanity but means the country (esp if it's a small one) wouldn't be as affected. For the US, if a missile coming from the east is shot down over the Atlantic, radiation would probably hit Europe and Russia rather than the US.

Surely there are no private citizens buying ballistic missile defence weapons and if a nation state had enough resources to consider buying something like this, would they not also have enough resources that they wouldn't be searching for their defense armament online?

- mikeash 9y agoI imagine it’s for the workers who make up a big part of the decision-making process for military acquisitions. If you ride the DC Metro through the Pentagon stop, you’ll see a lot of ads for high-end weapons systems where other subway systems might have ads for lawyers and universities and such. It’s amusing and peculiar.
