Would be crazy if this happened, huh? xDhttps://thebulletin.org/2018/06/a-new-boost-phase-missile-defense-system-and-its-diplomatic-uses-in-the-north-korea-dispute/
>>65061915North Korea would be firing east over the Sea of Japan offering a nice location over international waters to intercept them while they are still low.Iran can launch from the middle of their country 600km+ from any border or from their east firing west putting them over 1,300km from any country that would allow US interceptors.Ground track distance matters because if you are too far from the launch site it's too high and fast by the time you get there for a boost intercept.
>>65061915>Drones in the Airborne Patrol System would fly over the Sea of Japan or Yellow Sea, well outside the airspace of North Korea. Each Predator-B would carry two anti-ICBM interceptors. US-led diplomacy will need to carefully set objectives for different political contingencies, so this new defense system could be adaptively used as a lever to persuade and deter North Korea within a wide range of political situations. Well since they would outside their borders i guess the drones are invunerable to getting shot down right? And besides, no way the Norks would have enough missiles to just fire hundreds of them to confuse the drones as to which ones had the nukes right? On top of that since the DPRK CLEARLY has no other means of delivering a nuke this would be full proof with NO CHANCE of it failing so a few dozen million people get incinerated, REGIME CHANGE NOW!
This is a great idea, it isn't like they have any ships or submarines that can carry atomic weapons.
>>65061945>North Korea would be firing east over the Sea of Japan offering a nice location over international waters to intercept them while they are still low.anon i.....do you have the slightest idea how far north korea is from japan? by the time the missile reaches the mid of sea of japan it would be already in orbit
I don't get why some people get sand in their vaginas over missile defense.
>>65062259Because the last resort of thirdies is "well, we or whatever shithole regional power we dislike the least will nuke you if you do things we don't like."
>>65062239 >October 2024 (Hwasong-19): Reached 7,000 km (4,350 miles) altitude >November 2017 (Hwasong-15): Achieved an altitude of 4,500 km (2,800 miles) >July 2017 (Hwasong-14): Reached an altitude of 2,802 km (1,741 miles) Note that past 1000 km you reach indefinite orbit, in theory it could loop at that altitude for a few centuries before it decided to come down. >Muh hypersanic:>Hwasong-15 in November 2022, reached speeds up to Mach 15So this genius is going to put TWO 2000 mile range percision mach 20-25 anti orbital weapons onto a fucking Reaper drone? >Bulletin of the Atomic ScientistsInto the trash it goes.
>>65062239Anon the water that touches the east coast of Korea is called "the sea of Japan", NK is 0km from the sea of japan and 22km from international waters in the sea of japan.
ted postol continues to be a retard
>>65062259Because it would completely blunt the Soviet (now Russian) nuclear force. That's why their simps and water carriers go ballistic (heh) over it.
>>65062868nk tels operate near kusong and dandong now generally speaking Enk is 1700km away from a major japanese city2400 from tokyo2800 from the furthest part of sapporo if we take the data from nasa about sls ex space shuttle launch vehicle and apply it herethen in 3 minutes and 100miles downstream the rocket is in space by then and to achieve orbital velocity it needs 8 more minutes so....
>>65064474>japanese cityI said >over the Sea of Japan offering a nice location over international watersThis has nothing to do with Japanese territory but international waters, territorial waters extend ~22km from the coast meaning you can have interceptors 23km from the coast flying over the water.I really hope this is bait or a bad case of ESL.
>>65061915So basically this is some kind of miniaturized SM-3?
>>65064483yeah nvm i got it wrongok the closest a ship with an sm3 can be from the eastern side of nk is 669 kilometerslets say for the sake of the argument an sm3 is launched and it follows the rocket ideally it will cover the distance at 3 minutes or 4 roughly at mach 8 if we go again by the nasa numbers the missile will reach mach 8 at 2 to 2.5 minutes right before entering space (i use nasa rocket because well i dont remember how to do the thrust to speed ratio ) but an icbm has a 4 to 6g acceleration after takeoff so roughly i will say 1.5 minutes or 2 maximu to reach that speed(im probably wrong but whatevs)so no at any point a missile wont be able to relativisticly catch up to the rocket it will need to be DIRECTLY under its path at much closer range like 200-300 kilometers roughly speaking ofc this is from a point of view that everything is perfect and the interceptor is able to detect a launch by its own systems without being relayed by sats or central command because if its a relay command then by all means lets add a 10-15 second delay and im being generous the rocket probably would have reached already 1km/s
>>65061945>Iran can launch from the middle of their country 600km+ from any border or from their east firing west putting them over 1,300km from any country that would allow US interceptors.Air deployment. Put them onto UAVs and let them circle inside Iran...
>>65064596Proposed interceptor is not SM3

>>65064630It trades divert velocity (which gives the SM-3 its crossrange) for first stage peak acceleration. Makes sense.
>>65062352None of those launches you listed were orbital launches; North Korea tends to fire for altitude rather than range in their missile tests. You have no idea what you are talking about.
>>65064630proposed interceptor doesnt existsm3 does
