/AKM/ - Guns, weapons and the art of war.

Of course theres still the threat of nuclear armed planes… guess they’d just have to be shot down

if there was,nukes would've already become a military option in every nuke vs non nuke conflict

You could nuke a nuke with a smaller nuke

could u live underground? idk become mole people but then itd be earthquake weapons

>Are there any methods for defending your country from a nuclear strike?

None whatsoever. Trying to intercept an ICBM moving 20 times the speed of sound is harder than shooting a bullet with a bullet, not to mention cluster munitions that split into multiple warheads. Both Reagan and Trump failed to understand this and the US government has squandered a lot of tax dollars on trying to solve this unsolvable problem, but the fact remains that intercepting a missile in flight will always be many orders of magnitude more difficult than launching one and any missile defense system can be overwhelmed by simply launching more missiles.

>could there be a way to neutralise the threat of nukes altogether?

Sure, you just have to get every country in the world to agree to dismantle all of their nuclear weapons and never build them again.

>some sort of defence wherein the nukes are disabled before impact by neutralising the warhead with some sort of force field?

No, nuclear warheads are heavily shielded and even an electromagnetic pulse from another nuclear warhead would not disable it. Shooting them down with lasers won't work either, due to atmospheric scattering.

The atom bombs and hydrogen bombs in the hands of the imperialists can never cow people not willing to be enslaved. Run away when they drop the bombs. When they enter the city, also enter the city and the enemy will not dare to use the atom bomb. Residents of large cities should be dispersed into the rural areas. Building many smaller cities is a relative advantage in case of nuclear war. When the nuclear bomb is dropped on your head, there is nothing else but to see Marx; since the days of old there has always been death. Without a belief, one cannot establish oneself. Those who are doomed to die shall die, and those who do not die shall go on.

Wrong. Communist China has vast territory and population. Communist China is planned to withstand nuclear weapons. The imperialists cannot annihilate Communist China with their whole stack of nuclear weapons. If half of China was killed, the other half would continue to fight.

>Communist China is planned to withstand nuclear weapons.

Didn't like 20 million of you die in a famine not too long ago? And that was without the help of any mass extinction event, that was just your own bad planning; do you really think Communist China could endure the effects of a nuclear winter?

Basically, no. The US tried to come up with a solution with SDI/Star Wars, and wasted $1 trillion on a boondoggle

patriot missile batteries have a 75% chance of intercepting an ICBM before reentry and separation, and all that scary stuff. the plan with the US missile shield in the event of a nuclear war, is to launch 4 of them per ICBM. 0.75*4= approximately 97.5% chance of getting a hit or some number close to that IIRC. basically enough to probably protect against a rouge nation like north korea. not sure about the remaining 2% odds. not sure what happens if they get unlucky.

Patriot missiles can't stop an ICBM, they are designed to intercept short-range missiles. The US has some missile defense systems that can intercept an IBCM moving at hypersonic velocities but they are not very effective and a country like Russia with thousands of nuclear warheads could easily overwhelm any defense system that current technology can produce.

It's possible that in the future, with major breakthroughs in material engineering, the military could develop working railguns which could potentially be used for intercepting hypersonic missiles, but then the enemy could use that same technology for launching nuclear warheads at hypersonic velocities that even your defensive railguns cannot intercept. This is the fundamental problem - any technology that has the power to defend against a weapon of mass destruction could just as easily be repurposed into a weapon of mass destruction. Technology reaches the point where the weapons are simply too powerful for anything to possibly defend against them and there's no putting that genie back into the bottle.
