Your Right a ICBM travelling at 6 miles per second (12 times the speed of sound at sea level) is a hard target, not to mention you have to know it's flight path (typically somewhere over the North pole region, but still. Merry Christmas!!! Milo

Do you even know what an ICBM is and what dynamic requirement an interceptor would need? Oh my God, you are right; I have no idea what an ICBM is. Thank you for pointing that out. It sure does not take a visionary to see that in 5 to 8 years Iran, Iraq and Pakistan should have ICBM capabilities and ...
