  • When I was growing up in England in the 1970’s and though the 1980’s in particular, there was an almost palpable fear that a nuclear exchange could break out between the superpowers at almost any time.

    It caused me and many others around at the time to wonder was there a way to stop a missile attack but to be honest there was very little you could do. If you lived in a big city or near a military base, there was nothing to stop an ICBM or Intercontinental Ballistic missile once it was on its way and with the 4 minute warning we would have in the UK, you might as well have one last game of missile command and hope for a quick end.
    Roll on 35+ years and although we now live in a time of where the threat from nuclear attack is much less, it’s still present, even if it may have moved to a different area of the globe.
    So, with the advancement of technology, can we stop a missile attack now, once it’s been launched

      in practice only 1 missile was ever designed to have more than 10 warheads, and that was a variant of the Soviet SS-18, aptly named "Satan" by NATO.

      But at the same time nuclear weapons have effectively prevented a world war for over 75 years now.
      And of course the moment it's known something is possible, someone's going to do it, so 'banning nuclear weapons' isn't going to do any good. We effectively tried that already with the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and at least 6 nations built nuclear weapons since, with several more suspected of having tried or planned to (Argentina, East Germany,Taiwan, and some think Japan and West Germany as well).

    I just realized something: if we had an amazing defense system that could kill the missile/warheads a significant percentage of the time, then we probably wouldn't know. It would be top secret until nukes _had_ to be used, so that we could stop the enemy's missiles (because they don't know we're capable of it), leaving our missiles to destroy them only. We have the incentive to not mention it.

    • @michaireneuszjakubowski5289
      @michaireneuszjakubowski5289 Před 2 lety +85

      There IS an incentive to mention it - knowing your strike would be way less effective than the counterstice would probably make aggression apear more costly, or else require a truly massive strike capability to overpower (maintaining which costs - a lot). Of course, this is mainly a factor for those powers whose aims are mostly defensive.

People injured from flying projectiles from the Chelyabinsk meteor were 100's of kms away from the epicenter, most injuries were secondary blast effects from flying glass debris.

Just imagine how far ocean currents can move radioactive particles (eventually around the entire globe). Also consider ocean life like fish becoming irradiated, then caught by fisherman and eaten by the public.
      There are many many ways for radiation to travel from one place to another.

    • @kedrednael
      @kedrednael Před 2 lety

      This technical video explains some extreme limitations: czcams.com/video/8DdrN3CKz90/video.html&ab_channel=AtomicTestsChannel
      Summary and implications: If the attacker decides to detonate one of the nuclear bombs the others become undetectable because of visible, infrared, radar and radio interference. Perhaps the delicate sensors of the KKV (kinetic kill vehicle) get destroyed directly. Nuclear bombs however are quite able to survive the in-space-nuclear-explosion and continue through. So KKVs could never stop a serious ICBM attack, no matter how accurate, reliable or plentiful your KKVs are.
      The KKVs are a complete waste of money. They are super expensive since they require extreme technology and constant readiness. They only have value if you actually will get attacked with ICBMs, but in that case they still cannot protect you.
      Nuclear weapons do have value even if you don't use them, because they deter attackers.
      Actually KKVs could be even worse than a complete waste of money: They may make the attacker think it could be all-right if they use nuclear weapons (since maybe they won't destroy the world, maybe they don't have to live with the guild, maybe the attacked country won't retaliate if they manage to destroy the ICBMs), making it less likely they refuse orders and do destroy the world.
      Also, the KKVs are designed for use in vacuum. They will not stop bombs or missiles fired via airplanes, which also have a long range.

      Not effective in real time attack as well as developing ICBMs are being made at super sonic speed now even at burning faze such as russias satan 2 that is impossible to intercept even with all these techs mentioned in the video you just cant stop a hypersonic missile even in earth not to mention on space also russia is now replacing it's old icbms with satan 2 so I think M.A.D is still and will be held for along time

    I know this is an old video, Paul, but I have watched all the newer ones within the last couple years and am catching up on your older vids. You really should have your own television show. You are that good. You remind me of the old Brit show "The Secret Life of Machines", but with a modern twist, of course, and a higher science peak to your videos.
    Well done, again. I don't always agree, but I always enjoy.
    Thank you.

    FYI: That scene of Sprint missile at 7:58 isn't speed up, that's real. 0 to 7 kilometers per second (yeah second) in 4 seconds. You can see that the missile is glowing white hot in the next video and the first stage is just 'explode' on separation

    • @CarloRizzante
      @CarloRizzante Před 7 lety +1

      Interesting, thanks for the note. I guess the text was slightly incorrect, then, because it says "Sprint ABM will be fitted with 20k tons warheads". But perhaps it's my understanding that's not complete on the matter.

      Carlo - 20 k tons seems about right. That is not the weight but the equivialnt explosive power - how much TNT you would need for the same explosion.
      And that is about the yield of the 2 atomic bombs used on Japan.

    something that comes down from space at mach 20+ and also makes curves is extremely difficult, especially when the silluette makes it very difficult to see on the radar and even more so to track it for intercept.
    The best defense against a nuclear missile is to have MORE nuclear missiles.
