A new manned big bomber in 2018. wonderfull In a couple of decades they can park them in the desert next to the B-1 and B-2's while the crews are picked up and flown back home by a 100 year old B-52! [I predict by that time they will have discovered a way to make the Big-ugly-fat-fuckers invisible!]

Air born chemical lasser, I thought you got one shot two tops then back to base to fill up on the chemicals?

Question, when they test fire and miss with those interceptor missiles, how much do they miss by?
Less then a mile? How about using a one K nuke warhead to intercept the war head above one hundred thousand feet? That way A miss will NOT be as good as a mile?

Very little fall out that high up, EMP will be a problem [read about what happened to the power grid in the fifties when they set off a lot bigger nuke high up over the pacific] But if they can stop a hand full of Nukes from landing in the USA I sure would not complain. {To bad you cain't test the damn things do to the ABM and no nukes in space treaty. But if NKorea and Iran are shooting ten missiles our way and our [miss half the time] conventional Anti missiles and lassers dont get them all, a last dish Nuke will be the only way. And if the world objects to us stoping a nuke attack on america, then SUE US!
