The AEGIS Missile Defense vs. Ballistic Missile

The strategies employed by both sides would also play a role in the outcome. For example, if Russia were to use decoys or other countermeasures, it would make it more difficult for the Aegis system to intercept the real missiles.

Ultimately, it is impossible to say definitively which system would be more effective in a conflict between the US and Russia. The outcome would depend on a number of factors, including the ones mentioned above.

A fair amount of people think missiles have rendered surface fleets mostly obsolete. Its always easier to attack with missiles than defend with them.

US Navy actually used AEGIS to shoot a satellite that was in orbit >> shot from a Destroyer several years back .

[zacharyberry]

They are most definitely not designed to be difficult to detect. The missiles being shown are just normal ballistic missiles…

[cgoldreptiles]

None of the people really understand the ability of a 1 megawatt laser system

[gerrion_gaming]

I mean it’s not like Aegis casually shot a Satellite couse they got bored or basic patriot could intercept those but if everything fails there is still ground based mid course defense(gmd)

Whats with the Terminator 1 type music sharing lately.

Anyone notice the numbers on the Russian missile?

Большое спасибо за эту информацию, я передам своему командиру. Наслаждайтесь гамбургерами, мои американские друзья.

Difficult to intercept? My brother in christ, basic patriot system can shoot them down.

Russia is anything but competent

[vinceday]

Don't ya Just Love how the US always point out their Weaknesses and tells their Potential enemies how to get through their Defenses

[fooman]

The Russians have the CAPABILITY to deploy all three legs of the 'nuclear triad' (air launched, surface/silo launched, and submarine launched missiles). Currently dues to costs, mostly only land-based and submarine missiles are being used.

America never fails never joke always real let's meet at the battle ground will know why USA is the super power up to date

[mentalcupcakes]

Yeah, so hypersonic missles are very easy to detect, from launch too. Ehat makes them dangerous is their difficulty to be intercepted. Which actually isn't too difficult either. The missles have to reach very high altitudes during their trajection which means that when they come down they can be easily intercepted by slow moving missles. How? By figuring out their flight path, which is incredbly easy for modern military computers and personnel to do. If you don't believe me, look it up. Why this creator tried to make a big scare about hypersonic missles is beyond me.

Write that down that's your homework

[granvillediamond]

I have worked on the argis system amd it can take every missile Russia has even warheads. You have no idea what your talking about and nuclear missile are aegis also. The aegis system send ballistic missiles over 800 miles in land.

[jag]

All we know now is that some significant fraction of US weapons system capability is hype.

It's a good anti-missile system, but it can't knock down oreshnic (a hazel) tree. It's like shooting down a meteorite, or rather a meteor shower. The Aegis anti-missile system operates on a "fist-to-fist" principle. But the all-metal hazel warheads fall at hyperspeed in a plasma cloud (4000'C). Even if an anti-missile (sm_) hits a warhead, it's like trying to knock down an icicle falling from a roof with a snowflake. A completely different physical principle of counteraction is required here, but the existing missile defense against a nuclear strike (and the US has one) is not very effective against a hypersonic plasma bolide. So far, only Russia has such a missile-system (the Nudol rocket), but it also works 50/50 against hypersonic 🤷‍♂️🤫

[shavar]

Hahahahahaha, you think this can get through AEGIS? Patriot alone is knocking their “hypersonic” missiles out of the sky.

[travisnapoli]

This is idioti, that is not how missle defense or air defense works. It almost never has anything to do with air speed. What a joke, read a book.
