i mean, it's a nice concept for fixed course target engagements, but it's completely impractical for atmospheric targets because in every scenario where you'd struggle taking something out with ground SAMs you wouldn't have a chance with something that's basically on a fixed course until it's completed atmospheric re-entry in other news, i suggest holding off on your SSTO until 2020. SSTO with a cargo hold in 2025. |

i mean, the concept for shooting down ICBMs in low orbit has been around since before we reached the moon the US and NATO has operated a system for shooting down ICBMs in the low orbit stage since like, the 70s, except they use ground-to-air there isnt really a difference if they're launched from space to air or ground to air, it'd probably be more successful in space because it'd be quicker and easier i mean, it'd also be a lot more expensive and harder to restock ammunition hes completely within reason lol, stop trying to police outer space stuff |

hm yes after some uh, research, it is within reason but definitely not a sweden thing to do, but ofc, alternative history |
