war between KSA and Iran would be just plain stupid. how much money did Iraq/Iran lose during their little war?? a couple hundred billion each??
Iran is fragile (economically) KSA is also fragile (economically) you start blowing up each other oil tankers,ports, and oil fields, you're going...
Falcon 9 can do 5.5 tonnes GTO reusable or 8.3 tonnes expendable. a lot of commercial satellites are above the 4.5 tonnes GTO so LV3 isn't powerful enought. take for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SES-10 5.3 tonnes...LV3 simply isn't powerful enough.
reusable Falcon 9 get's a -10%...
how exactly would this work at shooting down cruise missiles?? is it unguided throughout the whole flight?? is it hit to kill or will it have proximity fuse with a small explosive?
like I said ISIS can pick where and when to attack. you can have 23 hours of a whole lot of nothing happening, but when you let your guard down for 1 hour that's when they attack.
they do need to step it up though.
if only if it were that simple.
probably looks like CGI because you are tens of gallons of gas going up. that's why you see the slow burning fireball. that's gas.
ISIS got the advantage. they chose where and when they will attack.
Iraq needs 100 BMPT. ATGM to take over VBIED from a long distance, and the dual 30mm to hit'em when they are close in.
more useful for military purposes. if you could give it more power and endurance to carry a 60mm mortar round that would be a very cost effective weapon system.
watching this clip and I'm just wondering just how effective these VBIEDs are against armor. looks like most of the targets are up-armored humvees,MRAPs, and M1 Abrams.
first off the VBIED. what is normally used for the explosive??? and how much? seems like most of the energy is going up and...
capture an asteroid and put it in a lunar orbit. can use it build a space colony on the moon and send back precious metals back to Earth.
will need super heavy weight rockets for this IMO
if it goes for the 5,000KM range then SM-3 would easily shoot these warheads down.
THAAD-ER would also work well as well. I can see THAAD-ER protecting Guam.

"Rafale is sitting ducks" pretty sure SPECTRA would pick up J10C J16D and J20 radar emissions. so how is it a sitting duck??
RBE2 AA is very competent as well. maybe someone with more knowledge on Rafale and Chinese birds can give a better comparison of the capbilities of each of these...
higher the arc of the missile the harder it is to hit it with an anti-ballistic missile. apogee is 2,000KM range is what 500 to 600KM?? looks like the target would be Seoul. THAAD and SM-3 would have a hard time hitting this.
