US Army THAAD system PR test footage

[Molossian]

Yes this was the system that downed the satellite that landed in South America.

[Deadxman616]

didn't they use a THAAD missile to shoot down that satellite that was reentering the atmosphere last summer?

[3pmielec]

It wasnt a THAAD missile. There are other missiles that do that

[jtlovett27]

It was aegisis that did the satalite.Itsa simalar system execpt its deployed from a battlesp and does not have the pulse propolsion for steering like THAAD

[StiviGun1]

@jtlovett27 Actually, is deployed on cruisers and destroyers, not battleships. The US navy no longer has battleships in its inventory. And the SM-3 Kinetic kill vehicle also has a divert altitude control system. The SM-3 Block IB and the Block IIA variants will have a throttleable divert altitude control system which will give them greater maneuverability. They will have greater chances of hitting missiles with high maneuvering capabilities.

[spiftacu1ar]

No, they used a reprogrammed FBM (Fleet Ballistic Missile) fired from a sub to shoot down the satelite.

[StiviGun1]

@spiftacu1ar The missile was launched from a Ticonderoga class cruiser, not a sub. The SM-3 missiles can't be fired from subs.

[w1ndexpfc]

That was an ageis rocket fired from a navy ship

[macfanpro]

The missile that was used to intercept USA 193 was a modified Standard SM-3 interceptor. The missile was launched from a Ticonderoga class cruiser. in other words, no.

[zeroyon04]

look at the SDACS on the KV go, that kicks ass.

Anyone have any other vids of the SDACS?

[KlubMarcus]

Dunno.

[snowmansnowma5]

SDACS, KV, where did u learn those terms cos that's not SDACS u r seeing...

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 SDACS means solid divert altitude control system. It's the propulsion and maneuvering system for the KV, which mean kill vehicle, get it?

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 Your comment just turns to show that you have absolutely no knowledge on THAAD KV propulsion system...

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 U r the 1 who doesn't know anything about how KVs work. Read ur comment from 11 months ago. I know a lot more than u do. In fact, u don't know shit. U didn't even knew what SDACS and KV means....

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 Haha, and U think Thaad's propulsion system is SDACS right? LOL

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 The THAAD's kinetic interceptor's propulsion system is DACS... Go learn how these missiles work before trying to talk to me again.

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 THAAD is a kinetic interceptor itself. "THAAD's kinetic interceptor" doesn't make any sense. What you want to say is "THAAD's KV's propulsion system". OK? Also, read my post from 11months ago, it says " that's not SDACS u r seeing". I think u have serious reading problems...

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 "THAAD is a kinetic interceptor itself"... Listen idiot, go make some research on how that system works and stop bothering me!

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 I know how this system works way more than you can imagine. Believe me... Now, come back when you have the answer to why THAAD itself is "NOT" a kinetic interceptor, but KV like you mention.

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 You don't know shit. And I don't waste my time teaching idiots like you. You want information, go search the net. Google THAAD and read about it. You do know how to search on Google, do you?

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 Repeating "You don't know shit" without any solid background makes me believe that you are an 8 yo kid. Read my post from 11 months ago. If you don't get it, read it again, and again, until you get it. If you still don't get it, you are a true idiot.

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 What u said in ur comment from 11 months ago is that there is no SDACS or KV shown in this vid. The vid shows the SDACS and the KV. It's just that u don't know what that is and that's why u don't see it.

What u also said is that THAAD is a a "kinetic interceptor itself" which really shows that you don't know shit. The kinetic interceptor separates from the missile & it's directed 2wards the target by SDACS which means solid divert altitude & control systems. That's how THAAD

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 Omg... I cannot believe what I'm reading. Please tell me you are joking... The propulsion system for THAAD's KV is Liquid DACS built by P&W... It is not SDACS... Omg... I didn't know I was fighting at this low level...

[TheSoham1983]

@StiviGun1 Snowman is correct. It is Liquid DACS. Read this astronautix . com/lvs/thaad.htm

[StiviGun1]

@TheSoham1983 Yeah, he found that after he started to do some actual research. Initially, he though that the entire missiles works an a kinetic vehicle... Yes, it is liquid fuel, not solid. That still doesn't change the fact that he didn't know shit when he first started posting.

[TheSoham1983]

@StiviGun1 Snowman specifically says that "it's not SDACS" in his post from 11 months ago. This is not consistent with your argument that he didn't know it at first. Also, he argues the difference between an interceptor and a KV, which I happen to agree. PAC-3, THAAD and GBI are all interceptors, but only THAAD and GBI have the KV. So, like he says, "THAAD is a kinetic interceptor itself". So, "THAAD's kinetic interceptor" like you say is like saying "THAAD's THAAD"

[StiviGun1]

@TheSoham1983 "THAAD is a kinetic interceptor itself". You know, you should go and make some research abt this system too. Go learn how THAAD's interceptors really work.

[StiviGun1]

@TheSoham1983 And he doesn't argue abt the difference between an interceptor and a KV. BTW, the KV is the kinetic interceptor since its the only part of the missile that actually interacts with the target. What he say, is that there's not KV we see in this vid, which is not true. The KV is shown in this vid & its LIQUID DACS propulsion system. So he's not right abt anything.

& did u said that the SM-3 missile doesn't use a KV? I don;t think u know what a KV actually means...

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 I said it was Liquid DACS million fucking times from the beginning can't u fucking read? It was YOU that said it was SDACS. Don't change the facts.

"did u said"?? Fuck, go learn English grammar before u even try to argue with us. and No, Soham has never mentioned anything about a goddamn SM-3! He said GBI uses KV. OMFG do u even know what a GBI is??

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 U said it's not SDACS, u only specified that it's liquid DACS after I sent u to go make some research. Plus, u said that THAAD is a kinetic interceptor itself, which really shows how stupid u r. THAAD is a KV itself? The entire system that comprises THAAD is a KV itself? U r dumb as the night, boy. U didn't have no clue what THAAD was or it works, u did some small research & now u try 2 look smart. Pathetic. & BTW, why did u deleted ur previous comment. I have that comment in my

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 1. If I say it is not Solid, it implies it is Liquid. Are u retarded? Do I have to say it is liquid so retarded ppl like u can understand?? 2. U think kinetic interceptor = kill vehicle? Are u joking? 3. PAC-3 uses KV? It is a single stage interceptor u fucking idiot. Ur once again showing the world how stupid u r . LOL. 4. GBI uses SDACS? It uses Liquid DACS U FUCKING IDIOT. U R FUCKING HOPELESS, do some research! With all this u think u r at higher level than I am, ur a joke.

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 Shut the fuck up, idiot. When u 1st posted here, u had no idea shat these systems r. As for that KV, what the fuck do u think i means? It means Kill Vehicle, shithead. That is the kinetic interceptor. I don't even know what u believe a kinetic interceptor is. A kinetic interceptor is a missile or an object that physically interacts with the target. That's why its called KINETIC. Go learn what kinetic energy means, asshole. U r stupider that u initially looked.

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 No, we are not the same person...You wish... lol As for the whole kinetic interceptor argument, do a google search and u will find lockheed martin say "pure kinetic energy interceptors, such as THAAD and PAC-3" (lockheedmartin . com/news/press_releases/2009/M­FC_031009_LockheedMartins.html­) So, if you have further comment, please contact Lockheed Martin, not me. LOL

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 U forget that I still have that comment that u have deleted on my mail box. So after u sent me that comment, u still have the nerve to tell me that u and Soham r not 1 & the same person?

As 4 that kinetic interceptor, to me, it looks that u say id exactly what I say. Yes, THAAD missile interceptors use a pure kinetic energy interceptor, or a Kill Vehicle, 2 intercept & destroy an incoming missile. So what the fuck r u exactly arguing with me abt here, ha? & BTW, PAC-3 doesn't use

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 a pure kinetic energy warhead. The PAC-3's warhead contains a small explosive charge, unlike THAAD's KV, which relies purely on the impact force to destroy a target. So again, u proved that u don;t know shit what u're talking about.

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 1. What happened to GBI's propulsion system? Do u admit that it's Liquid DACS? Hehe. 2.PAC-3 is mainly hit-to-kill. It does contain small explosive charge but it's only used for special missions against cruise missiles. It is also single stage so u don't call that a KV. 3. I deleted the comment cos I thought u were commenting to me. 4.kinetic energy interceptor ≠ Kill Vehicle dumb ass!!! They are different in context, read Lockheed Martin's article for God's sake!!!

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 GBI uses a liquid DACS 4 its kinetic interceptor.

PAC-3's interceptor uses a small explosive charge, not matter what target is used against & it uses a kill vehicle, it doesn't slam the entire interceptor missile into the missile target, idiot. Go make some research.

As 4 a true kinetic interceptor, that is not in use with any country or agency 2day. But the THAAD & GBI missile interceptors use kill vehicles that rely purely on kinetic energy 2 destroy their targets.

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 Hey retard, do a Google search on PAC-3 and u will find this stripes . com/news/leaner-meaner-patriot­-missile-at-osan-1.11769 It says "Though the PAC-3 relies on “hit-to-kill” when used against a ballistic missile, it also has a small-blast fragmentation warhead, a “lethality enhancer” in case it has to be used against a plane, helicopter or cruise missile." Need I say more? LOL

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 Learn how to provide links in a proper manner on YT...

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 C'mon you can do better than that! LOL

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 I'm sure that u can do better than that. Like providing links on YT properly...

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 I'm sure that u can do better than that. Like saying "sorry I was wrong on all counts, and sorry for posting shit to cover up my embarrassment". LOL

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 Well, there you go. How hard was it to recognize that you were wrong on all accounts? Maybe you're not such a pussy after all...

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 You've changed your tactics to pretend like a retard cos u realized u can no longer face me. Ur the worst loser I've ever seen on Youtube. Very sad. Let me summarize for your convenience the following mistakes u made in case u forgot: 1.You thought THAAD uses SDACS 2. You thought GBI uses SDACS 3.You thought PAC3 is not hit-to-kill interceptor. If u reply this comment, u will be admitting that ur mentally retarded patient that just escaped from a mental hospital.

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 I didn't change anything. U're just too stupid to argue with u anymore. I'll say just one mistake that u made: u though that THAAD is a kinetic interceptor intelf... U didn't even specify that the THAAD INTERCEPTOR is a kinetic interceptor as a whole, u said that the entire system is a KI... Can u be dumber than that? & BTW, u idiot, I never said PAC-3 doesn't use kinetic energy, I said that, unlike THAAD, it also uses a small explosive charge. U claimed otherwise & couldn't even

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 prove it... U don't even know how to post a link on YT... So the PAC-3 issue was just another embarrassing mistake on ur part that proved that u don't know shit abt what ur talking. U only started making some research when u saw that u're really embarrassing urself... Pathetic. Now go hang urself.

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 Thanx for admitting that ur mentally retarded patient that just escaped from a mental hospital. Proofs? ppl can just browse the previous comments and find our their-selves. I hope ur satisfied. Good bye now.

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 FUCK YOU.

[TheSoham1983]

@StiviGun1 Snowman is correct. GBI uses Liquid DACS and PAC3 is a single stage and has no KV. (The interceptor itself is the KV in this case) Also, kinetic interceptor ≠ kill vehicle. So Snowman's claim that "THAAD is a kinetic interceptor" has always been correct. You know StiviGun1, that, you should do some research before you post false information... Unfortunately, It look's to me that Snowman's level is much higher than yours.

[StiviGun1]

@TheSoham1983 U r pathetic... Snowman and u r 1 & the same person... Can u be more pathetic than this, u pathetic bitch?

Now, kinetic interceptor it's not the same with kill vehicle? U r a retarded monkey. What the fuck do u think KINETIC means, idiot? Go makes some real research.

Also, THAAD is a kinetic interceptor? THHAD?, THAAD, u stupid idiot, is an entire SYSTEMS, that comprised from a lot of components: radar, launcher & other systems. So how the fuck can THAAD be a kinetic interceptor?

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 mail box. Why did u delete it, ha? & when the fuck did I ever argued with u about SM-3, ha? I was talking to that Soham guy. He mentioned PAC-3 & I mistook it with SM-3. And BTW, the PAC-3 also uses a KV. BTW, do u even know what KV stands for? And why are u avoiding the subject about ur laughable claim that THAAD is a kinetic interceptor itself, ha? Yeah, I thought that THAAD's KV use SDACS because SM-3 & GBI use SDACS, so that's very understandable. But u thought that THAAD???

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 is a kinetic interceptor "itself"... Now that's laughable. Now go make some real research on how these systems work and fuck off. You're really starting to bore me...

[StiviGun1]

@snowmansnowma5 works. The kinetic warhead separates from the missile. It's not the entire missile that hits the target, but only a small kinetic energy warhead that travels very fast. Get it now, chucklehead?

[snowmansnowma5]

@StiviGun1 No more comment Mr Smarty-Pants? Are you shitting your pants? LOL
