Probably done so already.
What effect will it have upon an alien invader?
They should stop screwing around trying to copy everyone else in a pissing contest.

They’re not lofting them all at once. That whole system was built in modular units.
If you were living close enough to Vandenberg and KSC, you would notice there are far more launches than those getting pre-launch publicity. Besides, the media is no longer interested in anything launching from there at all. They couldn’t even get curious about the SpaceX booster return landings at the launch sites.
ahhh i see... send up one or two at a time, assemble on arrival
thx
Wreaking havoc? What does that even mean? Do our carriers wreak havoc in the Pacific by just being there? Or is it more like giving Obama a Nobel prize for doing nothing?
Cute Little Russki Gunboats-—do not look like they could do much at sea—maybe for coastal defence?
littorals
Just 8 cruise missiles?
Lets be clear: This is NO DDG-51 Burke Class Destroyer.
It is a small, short ranged, small/calm seas (due to size) gunboat for regional defensive use. It is no match for what will confront it, and don’t be confused by the fact that our littoral ships are horribly underarmed, because they will never see these ships. These Russian ships will be quickly sunk, most pierside, by airpower and cruise missiles launched by the hundreds if it ever came to that.
