This announcement probably has something to do with the U.S. switching on the European missile defence shield tomorrow.

ICBM's are stoppable if you scramble fighter jets and gun them down.
The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs didn't leave a crafter the size of Texas and it still affected the entire world.

That can be foiled rather easily these days...
That is not even remotely close to eliminating the IR exhaust heat signature from an intercontinental missile.

Awww...easy-peasy.
Throw just the right amount of computer controlled, real time injected and flow adjusted liquid Nitrogen or Helium into the exhaust and most of the IR disappears...same tech used on tank and vehicle IR exhaust emissions.

Call me when you figure out how to get 'most' to all.

That's insane, Thanks for sharing the videos.
The SR-28 Satan ICBM supposedly moves at Mach 23+, That's moving at 17,647+ Miles per hour.
Would it be possible to Intercept the ICBM in space?
With an SR-72 Blackbird?
What's the best counter for a Stealth ICBM that moves at that kind of speed?
I would imagine that with the SR-28 being stealth, Counter Ballistic Missiles wouldn't be able to do much..
