| #2 Outside of deploying multiple maneuverable independ-targetable re-entry vehicles/warheads, i.e missle(s) within a missle, another pragmatic anti-GMD covert method is to deploy submarine-launched hypersonic, variable maneuver, LR "fire-and-forget" cruise missles, includ "pop-up" SLCMS that can maneuver, evade, and defend underwater, i.e. "sub within a sub". IOW, HYBRIDS OR UW versions of remote- or "brilliant" [FAF] UAVS/UARVs, aka Unmanned [Maneuverable]Submersible Attack Vehicles, or similar. This can explain why the Russians and Chicom PLAN are engaging in intensified underwater surveys, and going gaga reportedly buying up underwater geography maps from any source - HEADS UP, SSN Boyz, YOUR "JUTLAND", OR PEARL HARBOR, MAY ABOUT TO DAWN ON NAVAL WARFARE! Subs, likely based on the TYPHOON/AKULA hull series, that can not only land large first-strike commando units/forces but can also launch underwater first-strike mini-vehicles. The rest,as is said, is POLITICS. |
