Could Microwave Cruise Missiles or F-35s Really Stop North Korean Missile Tests?
2017-12-11
[ConcernedUSPatriot] Regardless of these other theoretical possibilities, the idea that a CHAMP wielding cruise missile is some new panacea for North Korea’s missile program doesn’t hold water, and it’s frustrating seeing so many outlets depicting it otherwise without giving it any critical thought whatsoever.

#6  It takes a heck of a long time to set up one of their missiles as they haven't got underground silos yet, so a simple 1000lb JDAM would do the trick.

#5  MASERs. Invented before the first ruby rods were dope up.

I wonder if they are Windows 10 supported.

No android as they are easier to hack.

#3  E=M(V*V)
orbital V is way more than ICBM V
So 4.87 oz for an Iphone 7 or 138.0622 grams
plus add some mass for an engine and solar cells - maybe take off the screen and you are still okay.

#2  50,000 phones could take out an old USSR first strike of ICBMS.

#1  A F9 filled with thousand of iphones attached to solar cells and little tiny motors could do a damn good job. Have a celluar base station or some wifi routers up there with them and no problem to send the phones on kamikaze strikes. It only takes an orbital 8 gram impactor to take out a ICBM. A cellphone is more than 8 grams and cheap as weapons go.
