People have developed anti-radar countermeasures to protect incoming warheads from missile defenses.It's plain physics. RVs are coming to their targets in plasma cocoon.
That is incorrect. They are able to do so.No. The US NAVY SSBNs never was able to launch all their missiles in one salvo.
It is more on the order of 20 seconds between launches.Or, as it was recently - two days.
SLBM subs on patrol are never used to show muscle.Sometimes, especially when the politicians want to show their muscles, they do.
Our subs patrol at a distance where they can hit Russian ICBM silos (not cities) with a 15 minute flight time.When you keep your fleet at your side of a pond it means "Oh, I don't want any problems, do whatever you want to do at your side". When you send your fleet towards a bully it means "C'mon, boy, try to fight somebody of your own weight". Back in 1941 the enemy tried.
Forward patrolling areas are aggressive and vulnerable. Backward patrolling areas are pure self-defensive (they are useless for the first counter-force strike) and more or less safe.
They are safe from Russian countermeasures at this distance.
If they do so, the US will retaliate in kind against Russian cities.But the Russians don't have such prejudice about usage of their cruise missiles with thermonuclear warheads against American or European cities.
ABD is useless against large attacks.No. Higher trajectory - earlier ABD radar will see the target.
