US intercept attempt fails in missile defense test off Hawaii

 

 

The US and Japan are jointly developing the interceptor to shoot down medium-range ballistic missiles.

 

The United States military has again failed to intercept a ballistic missile during a test off Hawaii, the US Missile Defense Agency has acknowledged. 

The agency made the announcement in a statement issued on Wednesday night, the Associated Press reported on Thursday. 

The agency said the intercept attempt failed during a test conducted with Japan’s armed forces. 

The United States and Japan are jointly attempting to develop the interceptor in order to shoot down medium-range ballistic missiles coming from North Korea, which has threatened to attack both Japan and the US in case the country faces American aggression. 

The agency said a medium-range target missile was fired from the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai late on Wednesday.

Then the USS John Paul Jones, the third Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, detected and tracked the missile. The destroyer launched the interceptor, but it failed to shoot down the missile.

This was the second time the US military failed to intercept a medium-range target missile during a test. The previous attempt in February was also a failure.

Despite sanctions and international pressure, North Korea has been attempting to strengthen its military capability to protect itself from the threat posed by the presence of US forces in the region.

North Korea says it will not give up on its missile technology and nuclear deterrence unless Washington ends its hostile policy toward Pyongyang and dissolves the US-led UN command in South Korea. Thousands of US soldiers are stationed in South Korea and Japan.

According to the US military’s recent declaration, the United States has 806 deployed ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missile), SLBMs (submarine-launched ballistic missile), and heavy bombers as well as 1,722 deployed nuclear warheads.  

The Pentagon is also equipped with a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV), a highly advanced version of the intercontinental nuclear missile carrying several independent warheads.

The exchange of words between North Korea and other countries is just another cold war. The actual war will never happen just as the last cold war between USSR and USA never escalated to a real war. Both sides know that a real war is going to be devastating for both sides.

In space, two aliens are talking to each other.

The first alien says, "The dominant life forms on the Earth planet have developed satellite-based A nuclear weapons."

The second alien asks, "Are they an emerging intelligence?"

The first alien says, "I don't think so, they have them aimed at themselves."

You do realize that both the US and Israel have an interceptor missile that does work that has taken down many SCUD missiles during the mideast wars.  These current missile tests are for a newer style missile.  So don't get the impression that South Korea and the US can't knock any North Korean missile out of the sky at will.

Scud is for kids, are you must be joking right? it's the same missiles Yemen uses against saudis. what do they have for Qiam, Emad or Satan missile?

 

everybody knows that Russia has the best anti-missile defense systems, U.S anti-missiles with 50% success rate is not even comparable. S-400 and S-500 are 10 times better than thaad system. don't forget about the computational errors. stupid generals around Trump keep telling him that yeah go to war, we got everything covered. think like that and the rain of missiles will pour on your head.

 

let's see what israhell can do about the swarm of missiles pouring on their head if them or U.S do a mistake.

Russia: 6 missiles, 6 targets

US: 64 missiles, 1/3 of a target
