Has THAAD completely undermined MAD? Will future post-apocolytic

>>33838230

THAAD sucks man. One general is quoted as saying it could take 4-5 interceptors just to score a single hit.

>>33838251

Still better than nothing right?

Plus evidently it'd take NK 4-5 Missile launches just to get one to target without exploding

>>33838230
No. you're retarded and need to learn to read.

>>33838230
>chinks mad about thaad
Fucking thaads, reeee

On a more serious note they realized that late course interception was extremely difficult/advanced/expensive and are now trying to meme early course interception into being functional by setting up global military bases like never before. Probably does a shit job like other interceptors and just keeps other countries mad at thaad

>>33838760
That's not much consolation to the south koreans in range of retaliatory artillery strikes if it's utilized.

>>33838251
Generals are quoted as saying some of the dumbest shit ever known to man because they're only administrators who are only exposed to the large scale politics of their organizations.

There's a reason Russia and China truly deem THAAD an active military threat, and only in the past few years because of the advancement of the technology since its early days.

>>33839440

Every single test of the THAAD system has been under controlled conditions. In actual combat the North Koreans aren't going to telegraph the launch time and location. I'm leaning towards it will under perform in actual combat due to mass launches by the NKs' overwhelming the system. There maybe some success in intercepting but you can't really tell which missile is the one with the nuke on it.

>>33839557
>North Korea having enough missiles to overwhelm the South Korean radar network

>>33839574

Are you for real man? They can't just hook up the SK radar network to THAAD and viola everything magically works. THAAD is a system of radar, communications, launchers, and support vehicles.

>>33839829
are you mentally impaired? of course they can, the patriot system is designed to hook into the THAAD network.

>>33838230
MAD in this day and age only applies to massive counter-value strikes and doesn't do much to deter every nuclear threat under it.

THAAD is only capable of defeating IRBMs (and less) in their terminal phase. They have no hope of defeating ICBMs.

tl;dr you're a retard.

>>33839841

THAAD only compliments and expands on the existing Patriot system it doesn't fully integrate. It's irrelevant anyways THAAD and Patriot shoot down some of the NKs' ballistic missiles but it cannot stop them all.

Is thad a copy of Iron Dan ? Or it's a totally new cutting edge defense system ?

>>33838230
That is fucking dumb. THAAD can't shoot down any of that shit. Can hardly shoot down shit as it is, not enough to provide any serious protection from anything.

>>33838230
I was told by an engineer the THAAD systems have a very low success rate.
Like 32% bad
But still, it's better than nothing.

I have a feeling the US intelligence would know exactly when NK launches a nuke.

>>33840237

Exactly, a single MIRV ICBM (plus its decoys) would be more than enough to overwhelm THAAD in South Korea with the hit probabilities it would have against it.

The idea THAAD is effective enough to make war between major nuclear powers possible is laughable.

Wew

>>33840762
What's Iron Dan? Porn star?

>historians
>after global nuclear war

You mean the village elder or tribe storyteller

What kind of defensives does a modern ICBM have to deter THAAD?

>>33843464

Thats probably against advanced ICBMs fielded by China or Russia, there is no way Nork or anyone else`s missile could get through THAAD.... Right?

>>33844105

>NK masters of subterfuge
>Mass NK launches

You are literally too retarded to continue living, help the world out and kys.

>>33840762
Iron Dome is a Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar system. Israel uses Patriot and presumably will use THAAD

>>33844105
Some Late cold war and beyond MIRV capable ICBM's break up into several parts after the MIRV's seperate before rentry- so 6 warheads look like 15

>>33844039
He means Iron dome, the Israeli missile defence system.

MAD still reigns supreme. The interesting part is that it's soon going to be impossible for any traditional warfare to take place whatsoever.

>MAD prevents nuke usage
>Too many boots on ground in a direct invasion would also risk triggering MAD
>All future wars will be either cyberwarfare or proxy wars fought by nation states paying for guerilla units via complex networks of shell companies

I predict there will never be a full scale war between two first world countries ever again. Everything will be off-the-records agents that cannot be traced back to their country of alegience.

>>33844105
By being too fast for THAAD.

THAAD can't defeat ICBMs.

>>33844173
>your troops on the ground
>enemy uses tactical nuclear weapons to defeat your ground forces
>you go full retard and commit national suicide by going "MAD"

Hahah. No, it doesn't work that way.

Can someone help me come up this a meaning for a 'CHAAD' system?

We need CHAAD to properly cuck enemy missiles

>>33844594
>dump your troops on enemy soil unprotected
>get MAD when they get nuked
yeah not gonna happen because a 5 year old could come up with a better strategy for invading a first world country.
What >>33844173 was saying is that countries may still have deployable nukes even when they are close to defeat. Then it becomes a case of use it or lose it.

In fact a large scale commission of forces would probably involve an opening strike on the same scale as nuclear bombardment if you want to cut off an enemys ability to counter strike with nukes.
MAD provides stability by keeping a status quo.

>>33844724
Completely irrelevant. I was pointing out how MAD completely fails in response to anything but a massive nuclear attack by the enemy.

You can not respond to the tactical use of nuclear weapons with MAD because you're committing national suicide over the deaths comparatively small number of people.

>>33844724
You're foolishly assuming every war ends in utter defeat or that a nation that has suffered utter defeat doesn't have populations centres that can be held hostage with nuclear weapons to prevent an attack.

>>33844585
It can do irbms. The differences at stages of terminal between irbms and ICBMs at upper terminal are nil.

The MDA says irbms as a weasel word to not say icbms so they don't upset the nuclear balence.

>>33844674
>THAAD THUNDERCOCK

>>33844173
>MAD still reigns supreme
It's NUTS now.

>>33844798
You know nothing anon. To the executive cadre of most countries being out of power is tantamount to death. They would also be the ones in control of the remaining weapons. Do the math.
>>33844788
MAD is still effective against tactical nukes because of escalation. Any country whos forces are nuked would likely nuke the source of the strike.

>>33844938
>MAD is still effective against tactical nukes because of escalation. Any country whos forces are nuked would likely nuke the source of the strike.
I'm waiting for Oppen to come in and wreck your shit.

>>33844105
Each MIRV travels at about mach 23 during it's terminal phase. There is no hope of intercepting something that fast.
