Which missile is hardest to intercept
>>61965091Ballistic.>hypersonic meme missiles that aren't airbreathing>having the same range as ICBMsfucking retardor maybe the real retard is me I just fell for a zero effort slide thread didn't I
>>61965091The hardest part itself isn't the ballistic missile but the MIRVs.
>>61965091These categories also start to bleed into one another for the hardest to intercept missiles. An ICBM is a ballistic missile, but the tremendous height it reaches on its ballistic trajectory also makes it so fast that it virtually cannot be intercepted during the terminal phase. It combines the advantages of a ballistic missile with that of a hypersonic missile.
>>61965206Honest question how do u guys know so much about missiles Seems a bit suspicious
>>61965223I lurked and asked questions.
Just do brilliant pebbles to btfo ballistic missilesIt would require like 250 launches thoughbeitWell deserved though right
>>61965091All of them if you're Russian
>>61965091muh dick
>>61965223only doctors, engineers and government agents visit 4chan
>>61965223literally just read wikipedia articles
>>61965223I want to have sex with them
>>61965091Hypersonic cruise with maneuvering, pretending they have to maintain a fixed altitude is retarded.
>>61965223Read things, I'm a space flight autist so know a fair bit about orbital mechanics, velocities, hypersonic drag ect. and most of it carries over to anything going fast and high.
>>61965091Rods from God (space weapon we're not supposed to officially know about yet)
>>61965223Funny you should ask I'm actually North Korean Great Leader Kim Jong Un, I spend time on here sometimes.
>>61965223>how do u guys know so much aboutyou're on the internet kid, some people can describe in detail the entirety of fictitious worlds while you barely know ours
>>61965223My name is vasily i work for roscom
>>61965091>Which missile is hardest to interceptif youre a patriot battery, all of them, but especially the red and green
>>61965206>intercepted during the terminal phase.This is what the western big nuclear umbrella wants you to believe.
>>61966134Your English is very good, Great Leader KimDid you learn it from Westerns like your peepaw did?
>>61965223>Not being underaged
>>61965223Read a book, nigger.Even the top 0.0001% percentile of "smart" posts you see here don't have any knowledge deeper than an average 100 IQ individual digesting publicly available information off the internet.
>>61965223ICBMs are nearly 70 years old technology. Research and experiments meant to assess their weaknesses has shown their resilience and dangers. Hence, nuclear powers during the cold war correctly assessed that targeting and trying to intercept ICBMs was folly and that you couldn’t win a nuclear war when your enemy possessed these missiles.
>>61965223
>>61965091The balistic missile if it is passive and guided by, say, a laser designator. It is not that it is hard to intercept, it is just that you have no way to know it's there.
how would the enemy tell which kind of missile it is, just the flight path?how about a ballistic missile that only deviates slightly from the calculated path so that interceptors just barely miss it?
>>61967895Recommend one then
>>61965108Ballistic are the easiest to intercept because they follow a easily predictable trajectory that can be easily followed by tracking satellites. GMD and THAAD is practically useless against hypersonic missiles, and PATRIOT is only effective against shitty ones.
>>61967923Unironically, before playing this game I thought going into orbit just means flying straight up and you magically fall into orbit
>>61968956>GMD and THAAD is practically useless against hypersonic missiles, and PATRIOT is only effective against shitty ones.>Source : The deep cavities of my anal fissures
>>61968956The vast majority of all ballistic missiles can't be intercepted by anything smaller than PATRIOT, SAMP/T or similar. Systems like IRIS-T, NASAMS and other medium or short range AD just can't intercept at the required ranges or speeds so you have an actual hardware limitation for interception. Theoretically S-300 and S-400 can do interceptions on ballistics but as we've seen they are pretty fucking shit at it and because the entire batteries do physical connections even a basic unitary warhead can probably destroy multiple launchers and / or the radar(s).
>>61967895This is why AI is the future imo. Whenever some subject makes the news I spend two bathroom breaks reading the basics on Wikipedia.That alone makes you better informed than 90% of people. Everyone today knows a lot of things but most of those things are garbage, so training an AI on higher quality info (not even academia, wikipedia checking sources is enough) would make it better informed than 99% of all people on every single subject.
>>61967579No I have a pet tankie who reads and writes for me.
>>61968978They are literally anti-ballistic systems and therefore not intended to counter hypersonic threats. Look it up yourself. It's like saying that a car can't fly is Russian propaganda.>>61969001Yes but they are still much more vulnerable to interception than hypersonic missiles. Especially at the launch and mid-course phase. The dangerous thing about hypersonic missiles is their high speed at low altitudes, making them really hard to follow, even excluding plasma effects.
>>61969076We don't know. Theoretically true hypersonics should be very difficult to intercept but so far nobody has ever used one in combat. Kinzhal is only a hypersonic by technical definitions but it's not a hypersonic cruise missile. There may or may not be difficulties in using them in actual combat as opposed to simulations and tests. A thing worth mentioning is that depending on the type of guidance a hypersonic cruise missile might be vulnerable to EW because if the guidance is disrupted for eve a fraction of a second before secondary or backup guidance kicks in your missile might fly wildly off target. Of course all of that depends heavily on how exactly your missile is built but there are just a lot of unknown variables that we don't even know of.
>>61965091lowest altitude hypersonic
>>61965091Hypersonic missile that can actually maneuver in flight without losing speed would probably be the hardest among the three but ballistic missiles' difficulty of interception scales with their speed which is tied to their range so an ICBM is far harder to intercept than a SRBM.
The one that sneaks up on you
>>61969023Ahh yes trust the robot who determines validity based off of statistical word ordering (determined largely by Reddit posts) to tell the "truth"
>>61965091Probably the one I’m about to shoot in your mother tonight
>>61965206>so fast that it virtually cannot be intercepted during the terminal phaseabout that...
>>61965108If a ballistic missile's path can be described with a basic high school math equation, it's going to be easy to intercept.
>>61970270This is my favorite missile of all time. So fucking fast.
>>61968956Why does GMD fail almost every time it's tested if ballistic missiles are so easy to defend against?
>>61970241>I'VE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT
>>61970270Well, but that thing has a nuke in the tip, it doesn't have to physically hit the incoming warhead
>>61965091muh dik
>>61965223That's not how it works, to know about missiles you have to know everything that's not about missiles at all times.
>>61969023So, you think AI is the future because you read an article on wikipedia? What the fuck are you even saying, tardass? I'm gonna brick in your goddamn mouth.
>>61973486I think he meant it's the future cause normalfags can take their education from AI instead of having to read WikipediaWhich is still retarded
>>61966010And autists. But other than that I agree
>>61973540He already said engineers retard
>>61965206If they bleed together, then why are hypersonics the subject of lots of normalfag hyperventilation? Do they fill a different strategic niche?
>>61970270>>61970356
>>61970950SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG IS A BITCH-ASS MOTHERFUCKER
>>61970935>Why does GMD fail almost every time it's tested if ballistic missiles are so easy to defend against?GMD is meant to defend against a missile chimpout by Iran/NK numbering in the low double digits. Even with a 50% intercept rate, they're still going to make a big dent in an attack like that.
>>61969023>he actually thinks wikipedia is a reliable source of informationThere are chinks out there who will meticulously curate and edit wiki articles using dozens of puppet accounts and extremely selective citations of sources all for the purpose of lending weight to their schizophrenic internet arguments. Taking wikipedia seriously probably makes you more misinformed than the general population.
>>61970052So, FOBS?
