But you are right, these tests are done in optimum circumstances. But whos to say they couldn't test it in more real world scenarios?? They haven't seemed to me that they are covering up any negative results so far. And simply doing nothing is not an option, if a missile barrage is launched even a 50% hit ratio is going to save many lives. But as many have stated missle interceptors are akin to shooting a bullet with another bullet, and as the incoming missles are equipped with evasion abilities, decoys and travelling at hyper-sonic speeds the odds of interception are going to drop dramatically. But all technology has to start somewhere, and just absorbing any incoming missile strikes dosent sound like a good strategy. Deplorable and proud of It!! Trump 2024 MAGAA |

I thought I read somewhere that these intercept missiles are not very accurate and hardly ever protect anything. It might have been years ago but it was when somebody was firing missiles at Israel and the things had a hit rate like less than 50%. Wouldn't surprise me if they are all just feel good weapons |

Wouldn't surprise me if they are all just feel good weapons That's a different system that was only around 50% accurate. That system has gotten better, but CHAAD knocks out incels with an almost 100% kill rate. |

[link to www.dailymail.co.uk] RS-28 Sarmat Weight Over 100 tonnes Warhead 10-24 MIRVs (various type and yield; At the maximum reported throw-weight of up 10,000kg, the missile could deliver a 50 Mt charge (the maximum theoretical yield-to-weight ratio is about 6 megatons of TNT per metric ton, and the maximum achieved ratio was apparently 5.2 megatons of TNT per metric ton in B/Mk-41).
