- robonerd 4y ago> We have hundreds of Aegis boats 113, if you count Japan's, Korea's, and the rest of NATO (with 137 more planned.) These are spread around the world, and only some of them are Aegis BMD. And not all of those will be ready when they're needed. A few dozen Aegis BMD ships off the coast of the US seems plausible. Besides Aegis, there is THAAD (which only protects a handful of rather small areas) and GMD (which only has a few dozen interceptors.) If China/Russia threw hundreds of missiles at the continental US all at once, it's a good bet that at least some would get through and wreck havoc.
