ICBM time to target is around 15 minutes. I assume that satellite shoot down time is similar with a rocket. Does going from 15 minutes of warning to instant give much of a tactical advantage?
- ChuckMcM 8y agoIts the prep time. ICBM's have to be fueled or their silos opened or the launchers positioned, etc. That can take hours. The F-15 antisat missile[1] is pretty quick but the plane still has to get up to altitude and do a tricky maneuver to launch it. I am not a policy expert by any means, I just remember all the consternation over systems which shorten the time between being ready and killing some strategic asset.
