Great for sub-orbital ICBMs. Now we just need something for the hypersonic cruise missiles Russia and China are fielding.

- trhway 6y agothere is no good chances to stop Russia's, China's or US' missiles - there are just too many of them, so any percentage getting through makes the whole effort meaningless. NK's and Iran's (and others to join the club in the near future) missiles are the ones which one can do something about - until the time of course when those countries get to the numbers where the missile defense would stop making sense again.
- dirtyid 6y agoChinese arsenal is only estimated at around 300 (soon to be doubled). 68 DDGs have 90 VLS tubes each, so theoretical limit of 6120 shots, practically much less. But I think this development, if also proven on more realistic conditions (midphase decoys etc) would spurn China to further ramp up nuclearization.
