The inertial navigation of the ICBMs (could) have 100 meter precision, the space capsule trajectory actively modified due to low g and safety, so it will have higher target miss than a pure ballistic reentry.

And you think it is only single missile unrealistic They will launch swarm of missile,cruise missile, etc with all kind of penetration aid, missile decoy, balloon you name it. Remember they fire it from Qinghai way in inland China assuming the carrier is in the first island range .By the time the missile reached China east coast it will way pass the mid course trajectory and disgorge hundred of the warheads, penetration aid.missile decoy etc It is so much cheaper to built missile than carrier. Captain Jimmy Hendrix famously said for each carrier you can built 3000 missile

Pentagon report is nothing but clip from open source available information. So not surprising the author is Hans Kristensen. After all he is the source of all the publicly available info. It is like hearing bounce back from the wall
See this passage
The good news about the lower DOD estimate is that the more-than-doubling of the Chinese stockpile US government have projected for the next decade will result in a stockpile of less than 500 warheads instead of over 600. The low stockpile number could potentially take some of the wind out of the sail of the Trump administration’s insistence that China must join arms control talks. And it shows that by defense hawks that China may have “many more than 300” warheads is completely false

You must be living under the rock check this one. In fact most missile has some kind of homing sensor whether it is radar, infra red or laser
The Maneuverable Reentry Vehicle (abbreviated MARV or MaRV) is a type of ballistic missile whose is capable of autonomously tracking ground targets. It often requires some terminal active homing guidance (like Pershing II ) to make sure the missile does not miss the target, because of the frequent trajectory shifts. Refer to .

When you see the contrails of a rocket launching into space, it's zig-zagging afterwards. That's showing the different atmospheric layering going on in different directions. Why does a sniper account for the wind while shooting at a target at long range? Anyone who remembers the M-X Peacekeeper ICBM, it was said it was the most accurate out there claiming if the pitcher's mound of a stadium was the target, it would land somewhere within the ballpark. No need to claim that feature was unique if any ICBM could do that because they all work the same way. Accuracy is also important when tactically hitting an underground target. The earth is a great protector. Weapons need to be pretty accurate in order to affect underground targets. Just look at how when shooting bullets into water. It doesn't matter how large the caliber, after about a meter in, the round essentially becomes ineffective.
I getting more and more tempted to put a cone of silence on Max. What I not do on MrT as he amuses me so much with his twisted reality. Max is not even amusing.
