Missile, meet anti-missile
Successful tests are good to see:
An interceptor missile destroyed a mock warhead over the Pacific Ocean on Friday in a key test of the nation's missile defense system, U.S. military officials said.It was the most realistic test of the systems that would be used against an attack, said Missile Defense Agency spokesman Rick Lehner.
We're not done yet, but this is a great milestone. The anti-missile systems still need to deal with decoys and other countermeasures, but a missile kill is a great achievement. Bet North Korea isn't happy with this one.
Unfortunately, we've got this just in time for Iran to start handing out non-missile nukes.
