Chinese missile could shift Pacific power balance

It was a matter of time. The US should've had a contingency plan in place for this....Ray guns or something.

Got it covered, thanks.

Meet the SM-3, the ABM missile.

Just another in the long line of super missles that are going to destroy the US.
See: Iranian faster than superman Torpedo, Scud Storm Missle, Hong-7 Bomber and now the Dong Feng 21 super missile.

I'm pretty sure the US is up to this challenge as well, although, given the accuracy capabilities of previous Chinese missiles, people living in Downtown Copenhagen had better start to worry.

If it's a Chinese-made missile, it'll fall apart seconds before lift-off. Hope it has a warranty.

This is diplomacy one can believe in.

The problem with Chinese missiles is, you shoot off 3 of them and an hour later you're hungry again....

Ahh, they said all sorts of things about the Silkworm too (before Gulf War 1) and it was not a threat at all.

I, for one, welcome our new Asian overlords.

Yet, we buy most of our stuff from Wal-Mart.

I can't believe they call it a "Kinetic Warhead"

Shouldn't it be;

"I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. As a trusted celebrity, I can be influential in rounding up workers to toil in their underground sugar mines!"

It's called a kinetic warhead because it directly impacts with the target, just like the old USAF ASAT missile did.

As opposed to "Slug" or "Weight" or "Rock" or "Shot" or "Bullet" or "Round" I mean. You know one of the dozens of previous names we've used for "Kinetic Warheads."
