Successful Missile Defense Intercept Test Takes Place

[Uetian87]

This test is for Skud missiles which is highly inaccurate , slow and old. What about guided, fast and sophisticated missile system?

Every body knows this test was a failure because its accuracy was very low.

The radioactive can do significant damage even if it can be shot down.

it doesn't have to stop everything, what slips by the initial defense system could be destroyed by the air based laser (i see them working on it at the air base across from my job) its a funny looking device built into the nose of a 747. failing that the patriot missile defense system is capable of taking out a missile on its approach phase. that's why Japan and S.Korea are buying (used) American patriot systems.
