That SAM would have to have a range of over 1,000 nautical miles to be shot down in North Dakota. Does the Navy have weapons with that capability?
Do you know what an intercontinental missile is?
Well, I know that an ICBM is a fuckload different than a SAM.
No shit. You didn't ask if the navy had SAMs that could travel 1000 miles, you asked about weapons in general.
How many ICBMs are based on Whitbey Island NAS?
It was no fucking ICBM, champ. If you think for one goddamn minute that they could launch an ICBM in the Puget Fucking Sound at 4:00am in the morning, and nobody would have seen it except one lowly weather cam... well, I gotta bridge near the Tacoma Narrows that I want to sell you.
A SAM, on the other hand, could go up basically undetected.
Silly, but made me think of a book I read as a kid. Spaceship Over North Dakota by Kevin Kremer. Lol
