by the time the ICBM shows up on radar and you fire your railgun, the ICBM is entering the descent stage
will brexit get eventually delayed beyond 2022 and literally n o t h i n g else happen until the next election
good luck
They aren't like civilian/LEO insertion craft
Just build a halo ring 4head
Ok, lemme reiteratr
An ICBM in *proximity* to a railgun
The target
The target beibg in proximity
@Cragnathar The Destroyer if brexit doesnt happen oct 31st... you guys got some restructuring to do
the opposition could legit make Boris a lameduck PM
could just deny us a government
no such thing; the ICBM won't be SEEN until it is moving faster than the speed of sound
I want to own a private halo ring that I can use to defend my property.
which would be fun
Yes, within like 10 miles or some shit.
@ManAnimal and railguns move 7x the speed of sound
at that point a SAM might be a better chance at shooting it down
doesn't matter, they can't close the gap fast enough
honestly we dont need to stop the nuke guys
we just nuke whoever nuked us
its really that simple
the missle won't matter anymore
only the warheads
and if we cant tell? we nuke everybody 🙂
A nuke doesnt detonate when shot down
exactly, a SAM can be guided
Chlorinated Chicken!
Railguns can have guidance
But not all do
you can fire it off the moment you detect a heat signature and the steer it
The difference between an ICBM and a regular LEO instertion rocket is ICBM are much more ruggedly built and aren't carrying fuel to achieve orbit, they peak at like 23km/s
but you need to acquire, calc trajectory THEN fire with a railgun
nobody wuld be stupid enough to nuke the US in the first place, cuz they know we'd rain down hellfire upon them unlike anything the world has ever seen @ManAnimal
and that's *published data*
Calculating trajectory happens in seconds
actual speeds are probably hilariously higher
and remmeber, most rail guns only have a 120 degree range of fire
It doesn't matter, you just can't intercept them
Most ICBMS are coming from one area
