In reply to the discussion: Iran's Arsenal Of Sunburn Missiles Is More Than Enough To Close The Strait [View all]surfdog
(624 posts)First off you were comparing the intercontinental ballistic missile that travels into space and carries nuclear warheads with the tiny sunburn missile that travels just above the ocean water
comparing the two is completely absurd
Second you're implying that since the sunburn would be hidden in the mountain ranges around the straits that it would be easy to shoot down once it's launched , that is simply not accurate we cannot shoot down that missile without a whole Lotta luck
And you cannot tell me that we have missiles that travel that fast as they're leaving the launch tube, that statement is completely not accurate , go ahead and show me the missile we have that's traveling twice the speed of sound as it leaves the launch tube
And as for the missile taking out a ship without even detonating it could totally happen look at the shape charges that were going off in Iraq , didn't put a tiny little hole in the side of the transport the size of the charge or did it destroy the entire transport knocking it over on its roof ?
Yes you're right it's called physics and you don't have a grasp of it , the shaped charges did not put a tiny hole in the sides of our transports it completely demolished him through pure momentum , same thing would happened to the side of the ship just on a much larger scale
Energy equals mass , Einstein taught us this , perhaps you need to go back to school
