'Star Wars' project is probably even less effective than thought previously...

-----------------------------------
Other experts point to the possibility of fielding long-distance, multistage supercavitating torpedoes/ missiles fitted with nuclear warheads ("long-range guided preemptive weapons&quot😉 that could prove to be a relatively cheap and effective counter to future "Star Wars" missile defense systems. These devices could dash in from many miles out at sea entirely underwater, pop out of coastal waters close to their targets, and drop their lethal payloads before any aerial or space-based defenses could react.

It appears that things will become a bit more complicated.

damn, that's some very interesting technology.

of course, the Star Wars project is already inefficient. Nuclear weapons just have to moddified to escape detection and there's your xx billion down the drain.
