@S500 Prometheus Exactly why they are excited about a technology the US developed in the 60s.
@Delvien Vol which technology
You are deluded
@Delvien Vol ,Yes during Vietnam war the US arms were so useless they started using AK47 from Russia and other Russian weapons.. Recently the US abandoned weapons in Afghanistan because they know those are worthless . Even the Taliban don’t want US made arms. They sold it in the black market
@S500 Prometheus Controlled hypersonic flight, though the first hypersonic man made object was a sounding rocket that the US launched in 1949. Nothing new about the Chinese weapon system, just sounds scary so it gets clicks.
UN is very good at solving problems for profit making but failed to stop the problem from happening…
Shouldn’t we be more worried about Russia and missiles at the moment?
Not from the standpoint of missile defense, because there is no way to defend against a Russian missile attack. North Korea is the only potential attacker that we could have a chance to defend against, due to how few weapons they have. Our current defense systems are not capable of defending against more than a handful of missiles at once, and are not designed to.
@Dan Welterweight You dont know wtf your talking about. I know you believe yourself to be intelligent but I am here to tell you that you are far from intelligent.
You can push Russian propaganda all you want but the facts are America has more toys, intelligence & highly trained & tactical military in the world. Closest rival being China not Russia but America’s intelligence far exceeds even China. Intelligence & tactics win wars through the history of time.
If you do not believe me. Sign up, go on a couple tours, be all that you can be & increase your rank & my truth will come to fruition.
Everything you watch & everything you read & try to pick apart because you believe to be intelligent enough is just you fooling yourself & trying to fool others..
@Dan Welterweight Lmfao you keep posting the same bs as if it’s a certified fact. They can’t even maintain their truck’s tires or equip their soldiers with 21st century weapons, WTF makes you think their “doomsday weapons” are anything more than a theory, or at best, currently in development?
@Mayan I voted for him and I’m not worried. 😏👍🏾
Y’all act like they tell us everything they have we didn’t know about atomic bombs until they wanted us to think ab that
Fuc around and a giant force field pops up over the country lmaooo then giant lasers start raining down from the laser satellites above the atmosphere simultaneously with the gas releasing rockets coming out of the ocean obliterating every site targeted.
@Spartan Nation America has a laser weapon and it’s on a ship…
@Sebastian yeah but not the kind I’m talking about. We’re talking mile wide beams. But then again, maybe that wouldn’t be good for the atmosphere.
Who knows what we got. They probably got prototypes for some antimatter bomb the size of a grenade that could create a black hole while crushing everything in our solar system within seconds.
@Spartan Nation I doubt we have a weapon that powerful to open a black hole … We’ve been trying to work on the other dimensions through the hadron collider… Honestly I find it odd Americans aren’t privy to that simple info. The don’t even know what a hadron collider is lol 🤣
@Sebastian Most people wouldn’t know what that is, not just Americans. Unless you’re like 65 years old that is.
I just looked it up, I actually remember reading about it a couple years back when it had to be turned off. Still don’t know much about it, guess i’l read up 😭😭
Russia firing ICBMs at the US seems far more concerning than North Korea… Am I missing something?
@Joshua Culick CNN IS SHOWING JOE BIDEN RIGHT NOW SAYING THAT HE TRIED TO GO INTO UKRAINE BUT THEY OWE WOULDN’T LET HIM SO YOU BETTER HURRY UP & CALL HIM & TELL ME TO COME BACK 🏡 HOME & BRING THE OVER 100,000+ AMERICAN TROOPS IN EUROPE WITH HIM OKIE DOKIE!! COMING TO YOUTUBE SOON, MAYBE FROM CNN WITH WOLF BLITZER!!✌😂🤣😅🤣😅
G’day,
Maybe the idea is to wake up the complacent fat dumb happy Yanquis to the fact that Reagan’s “Star Wars” Strategic Defence Initiative was always a Science-FICTION Cartoon (sold to Reagan by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven – both Nebula Award winning Sci.Fi. writers)….; and that like the Patriot Anti-Missile missiles which never stopped a single Scud in Iraq – the existing Anti-ICBM Systems the US has built were only intended to thwart a limited Attack by a “Rogue Nation” involving less than 6 incoming ICBMs, and which has only ever been tested against Singleton Incomings – half of which the System has missed.
This is intended to herd the mindless masses in Muddle AmeriKa towards realising that because NATO has no large Public Blast/Fallout Shelters then it’s a very silly idea to call for NATO to enforce a No-Fly Zone over Ukraine…, because the USSR built Shelters for their Civilian population, and Russia began refurbishing all their Shelters 5 years ago…
And thus, considering that Russia’s officially published Warfighting Doctrine is to Nukeyoulater any time they start to lose a Conventional War.
So considering that NATO has no effective Missile Defences, nor any Bomb/Fallout Shelters…, whereas Russia has Civilian Public Bomb/Fallout Shelters in all their Cities ; then perhaps attacking Ukraine with Conscripts in 40 year-old Soviet-era Tanks was always intended to provoke some NATO intervention which would enable Putin to claim Russia is being attacked by a vastly overwhelming Coalition of Nuclear Armed Adversaries…, thus “forcing” him to launch a massive “Defensive” pre-emptive Counter-Force First Strike on all of NATO.
Pay attention, Yanquis…, because Putin’s population will probably emerge in far better condition from their Shelters, after whatever NATO can manage by way of Retaliation, than NATO’s Unsheltered population will come out of being Nuked by surprise.
Hmmmmnnn ?
Just(ifiably ?) sayin’.
Such is life,
Have a good one…
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
because it will never happen duh.
1. North Korea has the least to lose, if any, in a nuclear war.
2. Since Korean War, all North Korean military infrastructure has been built under-ground ( & under water ).
3. Most Americans do not fear North Korea, and as they demonstrated during 2017, they can elect a stupid president … again.
@Руслан Руслан nobody is scared. Fk around and find out.
1st step: We are vulnerable so don’t blame the government for not intercepting the ICBM
2nd step: Declare war on the perpetrators
3rd step: our troops are here to stay
It is the governments fault. Every Democrat administration has shrunk our military spending.
@Nexus Six well it actually grew significantly with this administration. also that’s just objectively not true. It goes up like every year
As an Italian, I’m happy to enjoy all the benefits of being a premium member of NATO, while also being sure nobody would ever think of nuking us first.
By the time they get rid of the US, the UK, France and Germany, I already would have moved to southern Congo.
Lol.smart lol smart
DON’T WORRY HOMIE WE GOT YOUR BACK!! LITTLE 🚀 ROCKET MAN IS JUST TRYING TO GET SOME ATTENTION BUT AS YOU SEE HE’S NOT EVEN WORTHY OF A PRESS CONFERENCE!! THE MORE OF THE TOYS HE PLAYS WITH THE LESS TOYS HE HAS BUT WE HAVE A YEARLY MILITARY BUDGET OF $750 BILLION & THE GDP OF NORTH KOREA IS ONLY $28.5 BILLION=WE HAVE AMERICAN COMPANY’S THAT MAKE MORE THAT THAT IN A YEAR!!😂🤣😅🤣😂
@Sash’s Content (Autism) well. He would suffer more.
Na Vix those Nato and US Military sutes in Italy, nobody would want to take them out first.
Good luck in the Congo thats wgere your body parts might land after the strike
Best thing you can do is….stand to attention and bend over put your head between your stilts and kiss your dairy air good bye and hope one lands straight on you 🙌💩💙
There are a couple of assumptions here that I question, chief among them being the whole concept of decoys.
Payload is expensive in terms of engineering and the limitations on the performance envelope imposed by any payload increase.
Decoys are only useful close to the end of the flight, when the thrust phase is long over, so decoys would be a pound for pound reduction is warhead carrying capacity.
I just don’t see a cloud of decoys being deployed as making any sense.
@Green Pepper Those are tests against US missiles, simulating hostile missiles.
Every test I’ve been a part of, the simulated hardware was a lot better that the actual weapons.
They are going to be mostly mylar balloons.
@Earth The best bet is multiple platforms effective at each stage.
Foward deployed missiles.to intercept while still in the thrust stage, along with satellite detection can shorten the time a hostile nation has between launching the first missile, and an incoming response ending the hostilities.
Currently, Russia’s launch window is about 10 minutes.
Medium range missiles and space based for the mid span segment.
And Aegis style weapon systems for the last phase.
The short window Russia has means most of their missiles would be destroyed on the ground
That takes some of the pressure off the other ABM systems
@Earth Ronald Raygun was the last Republican I voted for
Jimmy Carter was a better President, and a better man than Ronnie.
But it was a weird time.
I was on a ssbn at the time, doing donuts around the Marianas trench.
The hostages were still being held by Iran, and it was getting frustrating and embarrassing.
In spite of his faults, Ronnie had the image we needed at the time, so I held my nose and voted for him.
Always felt that Carter got a shitty deal, but when he left office, he rolled up his sleeves and started building housing for the poor.
Not by making PSA’s or giving speeches, but with his own two hands
My question is why would you air this. To let our enemies know they have a chance of hitting us? The news is so stupid sometimes
News flash, this isn’t new news! These “enemies” already knew how ICBM’s work and how they compare to missle defence systems
To scare viewers. That’s all they are interested in.
Fear mongering for American panic. Diversion.
@Bosco Pappas exactly just good old American gov propaganda.
That’s because we demonstrated during 2017 that our opinions ( except by the Pentagon, CIA, NSA, etc.) was drumming up to take military action upon North Korea. That’s why they have to keep reminding us that the battle ground will NOT be South Korea.
For you guys not understanding why they’re running this . So “WHEN” it hits us they can say well we kinda told y’all
Someone launching an offensive strike would have to know they would be obliterated by a retaliatory one. That would be hard to defend against.
Lol I don’t think they will start a war but best believe they will defend themselves
kimdumcumislookingforwardtodying
It will never happen. Maybe an accident or a dirty bomb, or some terrorist attack.
stop thinking the U.S.A is untouchable and can do more then what it can.
Putin and Kim do not care , America is not the god country anymore. Wake up, we aren’t number one and we probably need to talk this out instead of bringing in the big guns as I believe north korea and Russia are planing something bigger than we know
They’re called MIRV’S multiple independent re-entry vehicle one of those ICBM will hold up to 12 independently targeted Warheads now they all won’t be nuclear but you need to pick which one. They will overwhelm your defenses you have to be correct 100% they only need one to get through that’s why they’re so when he be difficult to intercept. The Warhead and the decoy are going to look identical table act identical I don’t know how you could tell from the ground which is which you just need to pick hope you pick the right re-entry vehicles and are able to intercept. Now if you have a full Salvo coming and you have a dozen icbm’s coming you now have 136 possible targets good luck that is why it is so hard
I don’t know if you in the department in charge of this unit; if so, I suggest you open your mouth to your superiors if you are having concerns with the equipments functionality, rather than bickering on an online forum (Youtube) where your message can be brought fourth into the wrong hands. If you care about your nation I suggest you don’t ignorantly put yourself into a position where you WILL be charged for treason.
And if you couldn’t already tell; I intentionally didn’t get descriptive about ANYTHING I said. I suggest if you want to make a positive difference and help your country to follow what I say and get away from the route you currently are going.
Even If your just a regular civilian going off of heresay… why let other countries know of a weakness that could cause great harm and destruction to our home country brotha?
That’s a stark slap in the face reality check and guess we’re all doomed. Especially Canada since we have zero capabilities to shoot down a Korean missile. Boggles my mind since we all live on the same planet – why risk ruining it with catastrophic missiles
Why not? I say every country that is capable of making one should go ahead and make loads since that’s their only deterrence against more powerful nations
And now we are going to get even more investment in the military and defense, as if it’s not enough already. Instead of all the waste, focus on what’s needed, defense against annihilation should be an obvious priority above everything else. Cut the crap and waste, focus on what’s really needed.
I think this report overestimates the capability of Korean ICBM systems and underestimates the capabilities that the American military might have.
We’re supposed to believe that we’re doomed based on what one reporter and one professor know or DON’T know? I don’t think so!
This is not really news. It has always been this way.
America is arrogant and the people will suffer ! You can not win against the entire World 🙄
@Africa 1st Looks like Russia’s stepped up its disinformation campaign lately!
The tests were simplified, however I think it is not in the US best interest to say the limits of its defense capabilities. If we did a more complex real world test with multiple missiles, or advanced decoys….North Korea would know that it needs to change its strategy. A nuclear vs nuclear missile intercept over the ocean is one possibility. Another using technology and intelligence to destroy missiles before they are launched or in the boost phase.
This is exactly what is happening here – there is no incentive for US to reveal the exact effectiveness of its missile defense capabilities. As a matter of fact, it is more advantageous and in best interest to play them down and make it seem as this is the best they can do.
Yea I was thinking the same thing.
Biden is going to get you COLONIZERS KILLED 🤣
@Joshua Lawson 、 North Koreans have to make their missiles because no one sells them any. But, the launch pads are imported from China. The Chinese launch pads are mobile. So, it can come out of any ground hole any minute.
Until Obama was in the Oval Office, China cooperated with us not selling the mobile launch pad to North Korea. So we did something called “left of launch” making North Korean missiles fail to fly.
Since Trump took office, China started to sell the mobile launch pad to North Korea. China is still mad at us.
you say it in your dream, US has no such ability of any opition you mentioned, all so called US interception test so far has failed, which is actually those most simplest test intercepting those known orbit and known flying route and known time missiles, even this all failed, let alone real world complex multiple missle come at same time, so keep dreaming, boy
Let’s rephrase the end, ..”keep the world safe”, USA will not sit back at such event
Showing your weakness to potential enemies could easily be viewed as treasonous…….I’m feeling like taking it easy today.
