Get Ready Russia, China, Iran and North Korea: America's Missile Defense Program Is Going 'Star Wars'

The Multi-Object Kill Vehicle can simultaneously destroy ICBMs and decoys with a single interceptor.

Anyone who designed it is a egomaniac, messianic psychopath.

It is an attacking system, target of it is to be able to deliver a nuclear strike without any fear of the retaliation.

It is against the nuclear non proliferation treaty as well, because it will increase the number of warheads and delivery vehicles.

Direct consequence of any kill system like this:
-cancellation of any arm reduction treaty
-development and fielding new type of nuclear delivery vehicles
-Military alliance between china/russia (maybe india?)
-Scaling up the Chinese nuclear stockpile and delivery capacity
-Increasing the military spending in chine to 10%, and fielding a military that never been seen in the history ( and making the US military compared to Chinese as big as the UK military is compared the the US )
-Occupation of Taiwan by china

The bare minimum that it will cause is new generation of icbms with multiple bus systems, and increasing the number of ballistic missiles/warheads.

Think you might be missing the point of all this puff. It is creating a scenario to generate more profit opportunities for the MIC. They already have upgrade contracts for the existing systems that need sorting, their need now is for the R&D to start on the next generation of profit creators.

Don't forget that the MIC really don't care how well their products actually work and the militaries plan round the reality. In the situation where it did actually matter then the world would have been destroyed and no-one would be left to be held to account.

New US Missile Hits Target in Space

The US Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency and Raytheon have successfully tested a missile that intercepts enemy missiles in space.

The SM-3 IIA missile can sense ballistic missile attacks from space and neutralize the threats. The SM-3 made its debut by eliminating a ballistic missile fired from the Navy’s USS John Paul Jones destroyer.

The idea for the mission was conceived and motivated, in part, by Star Wars, according to Scout Warrior’s Kris Osborn. “Now that technology is getting better,” he said, “exoatmospheric” missiles can intercept short- and medium-range ballistic missiles descending from outer space. The anti-missile technology would come in handy if the medium-range DF-16 missile tested by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army gets deployed.

The next-generation missile is being developed by both Washington and Tokyo, Scout reported. Further, the US plans to deploy the missile in Poland by 2018. The successful launch took place in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii.

Raytheon said that the 21-inch airframe allows US and Japanese forces to defend a larger area. “Now we have a higher sensitivity—so that is just a better seeker,” Raytheon SM-3 program director Amy Cohen said.

“The SM-3 Block IIA missile is a larger version of the SM-3 IB in terms of boosters and the kinetic warhead, which allows for increased operating time,” the Missile Defense Agency said in a statement. Other officials asserted that the test was a “critical milestone” and that it was a “vitally important” achievement for preparing against “increasing ballistic missile threats around the world.”
The first SM-3 interceptor in a double shot missile defense test rockets skyward to strike out a ballistic missile target off the coast of Kauai, Hawaii.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has made state-of-the-art missile defense a top priority.

Well US Ground based Interceptors are not still reliable. You can read the articles I mentioned in this thread and US SAM thread to update your facts.

Rest I've few pdf's on US ABMs showing why they are unreliable backed with data and US ASW capabilities . But I can't insert pdf in this forum.
