I don't understand, are u saying a missile went into space to destroy something

Intercontinental Ballistic missiles when launched would first travel to space b4 turning round. This time going to hit its target at twice the speed it took it to travel that high.
Obvious it was intercepted and destroyed in space by the interceptor missile.

Guy abeg mind your self oh.

I am only an enthusiast. In reality shooting a ballistic missile is not so difficult if you can get the missile as it is ascending. Ballistic missiles are more or less dumb missiles, if you jam the GPS or any navigation tech (or destroy the satellites that provide guidance) it relies on, it becomes useless.

But Cruise missiles or Hypersonic missiles are a different story and are a lot difficult to intercept. Hypersonic missiles in particular travel at faster speeds and change their path of travel before they hit their final target. The US has this but it seems Russia is ahead in his area of technology.

The US cannot attack Iran, China or Russia. That would literally mean the end of the world and they know it.

Sorry, China shot a satellite in space from ground earth more than 2 years ago. Do you think their defence system will not take care of Inter Continental Ballistic missile?
The only country US can not challenge whether militarily, economically or by propaganda.

China that relies on Russian S-400 and jet engine is what you're comparing to the US?
Propaganda aside the US is so far ahead of other Nations that no one Nation can single-handedly defeat them as of now.
Why do you think the Chinese are wailing about US helping Taiwan?

Theoretically or in hypothetical situation, the US can single-handedly defeat those 2 you mention independently. Obviously not putting Iran in the mix.
The US has a post nuclear war defense strategy.
Russia nukes are all in Russia and their subs so for China. US on the other hand has nukes all over the world, they are even leasing an island from Britain so they can store nuclear weapons close to Asia.
In event that the nuclear war breaks out, satellite gets destroyed, the US still has their Doomsday airplanes that can communicate with their subs and still lunch nukes at the enemies.

The reason Russia and China are developing weapons to take out satellites is because of the US Advanced Battlefield Management System. It's a system that integrates all their weapons and machineries. Say a drone is on a reconnaissance mission and it's spots an enemy force about to launch a nuke, the drone can independently launch a missile from a sub, or destroyer or any aircraft to intercept the missile. Hence the reason why Russia and China are taking the war to space because the only realistic way to stop the system is to stop it from transmitting data links (a.k.a destroying the satellites)

I forgot that the debris will remain in space since gravity is zero or non existent in space.
But the truth is that USA creates artificial problems,then give you their own exploitative solution.
Example is when you bomb Japan in ww2,occupy Japan till date,then sign defence pact with Japan to protect Japan from north Korea when it is USA that made Japan defenceless.
Create instability in the middleeast sponsoring terrorists and thus scaring Saudi Arabia into signing treaty with USA.
Create Boko Haram in 2003,then Nigeria must buy weapons from USA to fight something USA created.
They need Kim alive to always keep South Korea and Japan loyal.
I understand the eagle,even though the eagle is beautiful,it's still a beast.

Japan attacked US first to stop them from entering into the war while they expands into the South China Sea and conquer the surrounding nations. They received to concede even after the war was over hence the Atomic bomb.
Saudi Arabia case has more to do with Iran than with USA

After ww2 with the axis forces defeated by the allies USA and the victorious allies including France UK wanted to maintain worldpeace and dominance with the main aim of preventing another world war.hence the nuclear bomb developed by the USA and the permanent UN security council members France and Uk were an effective detterent to anybody contemplating worldwar and world dominance through war including the Soviet Union and china because a war that involves nuclear weapons is a guaranteed end to both the aggressor and the defendant e.g 2 megaton nukes can wipe out Nigeria from the surface of the earth u see why nuclear weapons are an effective tool in bargaining world peace with stubborn world leaders!!!

Hmmm....Raytheon....the baddest defence industry that ever liveth. They sleep, wake and live end of days...
Lockheed is still the greatest US defence company.

In fact I would rank General electric/ Boeing aerospace as the second greatest US defence company.

Raytheon comes third.

They are all giants of military Engineering.

Just one of them in your country is enough to make you a superpower.

But you forget one thing, Russia also has nukes all over the world via the submarines and they also have nukes in space too.

Look in the event you just described, both countries will destroy each other and the whole world will follow for sure.

[color=#550000][/color]not mentioning RUSSIA in this write up is completely concealing the truth, the War was won by Russia when their foot soldiers matched into Germany and captured it. also the Italian war, with the help of airstrikes from US and others. WW2 was mainly fought on the EASTERN FRONT which was home to the Russian military, it is on record that the Russians suffered the highest casualties, FOUR IN EVERY FIVE deaths were Russians telling you the level of their involvement.
The records are there for everyone to see and immediately after the war the US formed NATO to check mate the military might of Russia, therefore not mentioning RUSSIA when you talk about WW2 is bad because the Russians won the war and for the records, the US can not defeat Russia in a War

not all submarines carry nuclear weapons. They are specific class for that. They ones that have nuclear weapons don't move aabout, they deep dive and sit on the ocean bed so their whereabouts are unknown. Nobody has nuke in space. They are theorizing how to achieve it, they don't have it yet.

ogaooooooo grin grin grin grin grin laugh wan kill me grin grin grin grin
on a serious note the Russians where the first to capture Berlin and that made Hitler commit suicide but when u talk of mordern millitary power between US of A and Russia,guy Russia no match America in anyway,na just hyping them dey hype themselves.the only bargaining power of Russia is nukes,without nukes America vs Russia using conventional weapons and bullets for bullet Russia would be crushed like a wolf that challange a lion to battle.usa has 12 aircraft carriers Russia has only one and e don spoil sef cheesy ,advanced millitary aircrafts such as the f-22 b-2 spirit thousands of advanced aircrafts,tanks, sophisticated warships,hundreds of Nuclear powered submarines that dominate the oceans of the earth accross the seven continents.in any conventional war between USA and Russia, Russia would be on the defensive just as Chelsea trashed Burnley 3-0 despite playing defensive grin the pressure from America navy and airforce and thousands of their cruise missiles would quickly overwelm and saturate Russia defenses Russia can defend maybe maximum of 3 to 4 weeks before they crumble to America might and start threatening to go nuclear after sensing an inevitable and pending defeat grin,u think USA na no 1 world power for nothing oga go check ur facts well.
