regardless, AVANGARD is pretty impressive. up to 16 unstoppable hypersonic projectiles loaded onto a single SARMAT ICBM, each flying at mach 20 and weaving about. for the most part you wouldn't even need warheads, the metal frame alone would hit like a meteor -

its a high trajectory missile, the longer and higher the arch, the more chances to stop it.
to an observer in space, the 20 mach missile will appear to be moving in slow motion. -

the SARMAT is the missile you're thinking of (and it has it's own anti-interception mechanisms), AVANGARD glide vehicles are released in the terminal phase like a traditional MIRV -

idk, still the launch stage looks vulnurable.
i quit following these things because theres really no way of knowing for sure who have what. you only get to know what they wanted you to know.
unless you working on the 'inside'. -

That seems like it's just making normal ICBMs more complicated and expensive. Why would you need to nuke something so quickly? Cities can't dodge. -
2018-11-27 at 9:01 PM UTCYes Chinese chink Benny Vader surely knows rocket science better than actual rocket scientists.

500kg moving at 3200 metres per second has an energy of 0.000612 kiloTons according to my math
🤣
Don't sell the nukes yet. -

it's more to defeat interception than killing evasive towns. with a standard MIRV system you typically have live warheads vs. decoys at a ratio between 30/70 to 50/50... if you don't have to worry about interception you increase the potential lethality 2-3 fold -

Yeah to be fair, if you're going to use just matter no warheads you will probably want it to get to relativistic speeds before you fling it at people. -
2018-11-28 at 4:24 AM UTCI got curious about intercepting nukes and found this simple ass site if anybody is curious as well

wapo = fake news. -
2018-11-28 at 10:36 AM UTCThe reality on intercepting nukes is you do not intercept nukes. It just doesn't work, and if it did the interceptor costs around 20x the price of the thing it's intercepting.
They shitcanned that stupid looking laser plane as well. -

It is easy to catch a nuke, just make a big baseball mitt of titanium. -

lol no, that was an absurd boondoggle. it actually needs TWO nuclear reactors to be able to move and fire at the same time and really only has one advantage over standard cannons (over-horizon engagement), as well as insane maintenance costs
the next big thing is probably going to be next-generation laser anti-missile defences; both the US and Russia have prototypes up and running
