Well given the speeds of (hypersonic) re-entry involved with ballistics, they are lot harder to shoot down than other aerial targets. A whole new class of sensors and sensor networks are required along with the computing power (for calculating firing solution interception) and missile systems...

To add to what Paro said, The reactor is designed for 33 years (sometimes quoted as 30+ for rounding down with margin of safety etc) and does not need refuelling within that period as: A) It is highly enriched Uranium (HEU) that provides this longer cycle duration to begin with (LEU like what...

Lot more info came out just now @DAVEBLOGGINS @Lordimperator @rai456 @Anmdt @Mis_TR_Like @Ryder @Paro @Gary @TR_123456 et al. I think the Chinese have real reason to be quite concerned about various details here...

Forgot to tag @Cabatli_TR @Test7 and @Mis_TR_Like @Gessler @Sanchez @Anmdt et al. to this discussion if they would like to read/participate etc. No I think there will be lot more advancements in the thermodynamic tech route (jet engines being the arguable frontier of it) that will provide good...

Maybe Biden admin will finally come to its senses about the "green new deal" blah blah that has upset lot of energy majors investments domestically for a few years now.

I wish they did. There is maybe the matter of the Israeli radar + Barak 8 and Indonesia-Israel relations (which are still informal) maybe limiting how such systems can be exported or re-exported. MRSAM (improved Barak 8) is also a joint venture in the end with Israel, so they have IP share...

@Saiyan0321 when you are here next, please consider reading this thread so far if you would like and possibly giving your views when time permits etc. I already know a lot of your views so its more for benefit of members here. If you feel its warranted I can also move the thread to the...
