- FrustratedMonky 3y agoThe important thing is 'not during testing'. We are out of the demo zone. We've had lots of 'demo's of interceptors. Now it just got real. When products move from 'testing' to 'customer'. Not only can a small adversary launch a ballistic, the defenses also worked.

- fuzzylightbulb 3y agoI'd love to see the magic quadrant on suborbital ballistic interceptors.
