What is current missile defense systems focused on kinetic weaponry?
Q. I've heard that the missiles can now hit the incoming missiles with accuracy, they keep on using hitting a bullet with a bullet. Why don't we hit the missile with something with a massive explosive force instead to alter it's course? I mean in our fleet defense systems, they don't just fire one bullet at a missile, the phalanx system fires thousands of rounds. Is it because a direct kinetic hit is more lethal and reliable?

A. You got it right the first time, "disbelief" in them. Problem solved. Never give away 'power' where none exists in the first place... The jesus thing doesn't work either, it's been tried and defeated many times over by 'believers.' "Next."
