gateley (1000+ posts) Wed Feb-20-08 10:54 PM 8. Let's just say that their story is legit - DOA satellite, challenges to take it out, etc. If they were successful, that IS impressive and reassuring.

Wow. If DUers think it's cool, imagine how po'd russia and china and Iran and NoKo are gonna be!

The SM-3 project teams from soup to nuts should be awarded medals.

That’s an amazing missile (and it’s predecessor SM-2 was/is very good, as well).

Quality. Made in the USA.

I think the whole point is Star Wars is mobile. Now lets pick off a couple of falling Iridiums with jets and the Reds are back 20 years.

Probably put them in the vertical launch tubes of the Ohio class boats converted to Tomahawk launchers without much bother at all. Targeting could be a problem, but probably not too much of one.
