"unpredictable flight trajectory"
makes it hard to hit a target, too. Well, the intended target.
That said, Russia is not the country we are worried about.
"That said, Russia is not the country we are worried about." I don't know, they would probably be willing to sell a few to Iran.
Yes we are worried about Russia, not in the sense that they would use this weapon against us, but that they would sell it to someone who would..
"That said, Russia is not the country we are worried about."
On the contrary. Russia already knows we have a very solid defense against a Russian ICBM attack - 1) We know that Russians, unlike jihadis, are not suicidal. 2) We possess a very large arsenal of nuclear ICBM's with which we woulc counter-attack. Russia is developing these weapons so that, at the very least, there will exist the threat that they will sell them to some third party who would be less constrained by practical matters such as surviving a counter-attack, etc. There is no other reason to develop them other than to undermine U.S. efforts to secure itself against non-democratic rouge regimes hell-bent on obtaining WMD's. It is an ugly game that Pootie-Poot is playing.
That said, Russia is not the country we are worried about.

With the Russians selling arms and helping our enemies build their nuclear programs I think they are the country we need to worry about.
