Just get the largest and most powerful missile that exists.

Build a land cruiser tank with enough armor to defeat it.

Super tanks and superweapons are so cool in fiction, but in real life they're a waste of money and time.

Munitions technology will always be ahead of armor technology. This is why modern warfare has moved away from building fortresses and deploying battleships, and switched to spreading out assets, making arty mobile, and building smaller, faster ships.

MANOUVER WARFARE IS AMERICA'S WARFARE

Like a tactical nuke, or just FOAB?

Good luck with that, Sparky.

Even though weapons are physically stonger than modern defenses, it appears that the defender has the advantage as many otherwise very poor states have managed to fend off overwhelming firepower.

Yeah, by hiding behind civilians. If politics could be removed from warfare, the US, or other nuclear powers could exterminate their enemies in a matter of seconds.

"defense" in the case of guerrilla warfare means hiding behind a wall of civilians. shoot too many civilians, and you lose the war. That lends the advantage to the defender

Don't forget most guerilla or defensive forces utilize loads of mobility to hit the enemy from prepared positions and avoid being cut off or pounded by artillery.

Well the problem is not take the biggest cruiser missile to defeat it. The question is how many high explosives buses such mostrosity would resist from artillery at a descent speed. And most important the damn cost that such a beast would take to be militaraly viable.

>>33731088
it wouldn't take a whole lot of armor to defend against a nuke. we have plenty of bases that are designed to take direct hits from nukes, and they don't have to much armor on their doors to be unwieldy on a large tank
