if true, it would be an actual global military strategy gamechanger, probably the biggest since the advent of nuclear weapons.

Unlimited range and hypersonic, it could fly around the world for years until assigned a target.

nobody's air defences can beat mach 20 yet, that we know of.

If you want to raise children finding a wholesome, honororable, rich man is a good thing, and I believe a good cultural standard... I'd definitely prefer that to some young guy with looks. Or "love". Though, I imagine it would be incredibly hard to not love a wholesome, honorable, rich man.

Yeah we are GENERALLY hard-wired biologically to be attracted to what we perceive as the best possible candidate for birthing healthy children. This is why the ideal is someone taking care of themselves physically, as this is an indicator of overall health. There are always outliers, both personal and cultural. Personal is obvious, everyone has what they’re into which might be very gaunt or very big people or anything in between. And culturally for example I remember hearing in i believe Italian culture being an overweight man was an indicator that someone is doing well financially, and was historically seen as a status symbol

For women, they are generally hard-wired to be attracted to someone who can provide for and protect a future family. This is why (unfortunately for a lot of guys) height is such a big deal, and money can be as well because money is an indicator of stability and success. Once again this is just generalities, everyone has their own specific personal ideal, and these can be very different

And yeah I’d hit it with Hillary Swank, wouldn’t even need to be drunk

yeah bro, she's rich!

equality FTW.

I wonder if I, an addict and lover of everquest, would be happier in a world where we talked about everquest type things and we just herded goats.

Xray and infrared lazers are ez. Just expensive. Cheeper than nuclear missiles. Tho. They only protect rich ppl in rich ppl bunkers,, not downtown LA slums.. P.s. it's really old technology and they are super reliable and ez to target the government just wanted more money and the public to not realize it could instantly be vaporized from miles away before they could realize. I've seen these devices in action. They're not that big and single shot ones are about the size of small trucks now.

I'm probably a little biased because I don't want to contribute to producing a heartbeat.

missiles can't swim and our tridents carry MIRV ordinance

not a gamechanger unless we don't have a deadman's hand(inshallah)

Pretty disappointed that the US sunk to deadmans hand territory. Also, the most likely point of failure in the whole system. Garanteed to eventually fail. Like everything does. Eventually.

its not that the projectiles are too slow to intercept, AA defenses could in theory hit something going mach 20, the problem, even for laser weapons, is the time required from initial incoming warning, to target aquisition, to calculated firing solution, can usually be several minutes, 5, 10, maybe 30 -- all of this is no big deal for old ICBMs, they fly slow predictable paths.

The nuclear ramjet missle is reported to be able to alter course at hypersonic speeds, or just leave and come back from another angle, or just fly randomized patterns, or go to another target, if it detects tough air defenses.

toss in some A.I. computations to this platform and you built something that no one could ever defend against, in theory.

it just basically hits you before you can get your shit together.

edit: mentioning laser weapon development is insanely cheap, and firing the new one on the ford class carrier costs like .62 cents per, shot, compared to millions per missle

Launched from 30 meters underwater, the trident does sort of swim to the surface where it engages its rockets.

Everybody has MIRVs, problem is these days that ICBM payloads are just guided gravity bombs, they don't move fast, the initial ascent stages from launches anywhere on earth are picked up by dozens of satellites.

If MIRVs should be dropped (they come from orbit), air defenses from standoff ranges can destroy them with relative ease. You can launch several ICBMs with dozens of dummy MIRVs, and the chances of hitting a target in a modern nation are slim to none these days.

the time of ICBM is over.

Hypersonic missle development is basically taking the best ideas from all "destroy a whole country" doctrines and putting them into one package.

of course, this is Russia's statement, so taken with a big grain of salt, but any real world proof of concept will make global defense budgets go skyward.
