Pentagon to test interceptor for shooting down NKorean ICBM

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. May 30, 2017, 10:07 AM (IDT)

The US is to test for the first time an interceptor system for challenging an incoming intercontinental ballistic missile, whether from North Korea or Iran, the Pentagon reported.  A new version of the single, long-range ground-based interceptor will be launched Tuesday from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California over the Pacific Ocean to shoot down a “hostile” missile launched from the Marshall Islands. This system has been criticized as so far only demonstrating limited capability to contend with small numbers of intermediate range ballistic missiles if fired from the two rogue countries.
The test comes two days after Pyongyang fired a short-range ballistic missile that traveled an estimated 248 miles before splashing down within Japan’s exclusive economic zone.

Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.

      This is a stupid plan ! Trying to hit a bullet with another bullet is like playing Russian rulet . We have lazers that can cut the damn missiles in half ! Why are we about to spend billions on a system that is not fool proof ? In the 1970s I read that they had lasers that could cut down mountains . What the hell happened to them . I also saw army trucks mounted with lasers that could cut men in half . Hook up the tracking systems and mount the lasers back on them . Save America billions , maybe trillions ! We also have frequency machines that could shatter the missile . We also have lighten bolt projecting melt bolts that can travel the speed of light using electricity to propel it . Dont spend America into needless debt to build a system that we only hope can hit these missiles . Then they said we could send up several of our missiles to try and make sure we hit their missile . It only takes 1 missile exploding over America to put us into the darkages . Don’t play around with foolishness when we have proven technology that can bust it out of the sky before it gets near our shores ! Heck we can even bust it in their faces so said Reagan in the 80s . This is yet another elite sceem to rape the citizens of America of their tax dollars . Don’t trust these guys , they are not on our side ! This mess is their faults any way !
