NO. See what "chud" had to say.
This little guy was what? 10 metres in diameter? Pfffft! A piker!
Larger, and therefore more dangerous NEOs (Near Earth Objects) that show any signs of intersecting in any way our orbital plane, at the SAME time that
our teeny, tiny little planet has the remotest chance to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...those oare being monitored.
There used to be a fear (warranted, perhaps) that an undetected meteor or asteroid that impacts suddenly, even if minor, but unexpected could have
triggered a thermo-nuclear exchange between those nations thus armed...However, nowadays with the satellites monitoring....they look for the
indications of a LAUNCH in order to trigger a defensive response.
There a great number of eyes watching the skies constantly....something really, really big won't be missed.
