Since war is coming and north korea and the mid east hate us...

I honestly sort of have this same question and my fear is

What if NK decides to launch (which is 99% negative chance) will we have to shoot it out of the sky and then it will explode in midair?

we can pretty much say our prayers if it ever comes to that, our technology is still not that impressive considering the billions and billions we throw at national defense research. i think recently there was a test for a prototype missile interceptor and it failed miserably.

unless they have some sort of device that would trigger the nuke if the housing started to desintegrate (which would be simply stupid) then no.
 
No at this point the US can't intercept and neutralize an incoming ICBM which is the best way to deliver a nuke across continents.
 
Unfortunately, this could happen.

Back in the day, North Korea knew it would be obliterated if it nuked anybody.

Now, North Korea knows it can nuke us and the first thing we'll say is "ok, let's have a meeting, and discuss the ramifications of retaliation. we must think of the north korean civilians and all the poor innocent blah blah blah".

They will say these things after millions of innocent californians die.

That's all fine and well if you want to ignore all the previous test successes. The missle defense system is still in development. You are going to have failures. Having failures is part of developing anything successfully.
 
hey ,i live in ireland and my main worry is a passenger plane crashing into sellafield,i think the nk problem will be solved diplomatically,as for mideast i dunno,i think your main worry should be a terrorist dirty bomb

but how long do you think it will take until the accuracy is satisfactory? satisfactory being 98%+.

well, i just read something recently that north korea's bombs have the ability to reach the west coast.. 😛

I too live in california, and everytime i see stuff about north korea, i get more and more scared .. I live in Los Angeles, which I would think would be a prime target ..

Wanna move to Wyoming with me? 🙂

I would only be able to give that kind of estimate if I were helping developing that weapons system. And if I were, I wouldn't dare give it out publicly. 🙂

Highly doubtful. If they launched a nuke, I am totally assured that they would get nuked in retaliation, by any president.

A number of years anyway 🙂

I'm not a doomsayer by any means but I'm being quite honest when I say that I feel quite strongly against living in a major urban area like LA or new york city because in the future, be it in a year or 20, I am sure that there will be a major attack against a civilian population and those cities will be the first hit because the casualties will be much higher. I really can't imagine that I could ever feel secure living in a NYC skyrise and that's the truth.

They would, but I think he was just being facetious 🙂 I would guess that the US has already got the coordinates to any likely north korean launch sites and they'd be the first hit.

Yep, N Korea isn't anything like the Soviet Union. The USSR had enough missles to give the entire N American continent a healthy green glow. N Korea can only reach the western coast which would not save them from any of our ICBMs.

Innocent californians... isn't that an oxymoron? 😀

I was thinking about that when I wrote this....

We can shoot it out of the sky with a heat seeking missle launched from a jet based in South Korea..

Even though it most likely will not detonate will the nuclear material that gets released cause problems?

It would, but nothing compared to a nuclear explosion. Unfortunately no heat seeking missile can catch an ICBM. They go like 10+ times the speed of sound. In fact I think many explosions - if you were to trigger it directly behind an ICBM - wouldn't even take the ICBM out because the explosive shrapnel doesn't move fast enough to hit it. Taking out ICBMs is very difficult due to their speed, so if you can't have something hit them from the front (like a bullet) you need to trigger an explosion in front so that the ICBM flies into it.

 
i'm telling you guys...with the trillion dollar budget on national defense, it doesn't sound too farfetched to start doing some research on a continental magnetic shield sort of like how magneto repels bullets with his magnetic field! 😎

unfortunatley i'm a guy (unless you're a female) .. but we can just buy a big mansion together, maybe with a few other AT people, and once california gets nuked and Hughe Hefner isn't around anymore, we can take over the playboy parties in wyoming!@! 😀
 
Japan launched balloon carrying bombs which landed all the way in Montana during WW2.


Let's just say I would rather not be in Cali right now.
