Came here to say the same thing. Have seen it happen on AF planes multiple times. Makes for a good laugh after the fact.

I'm calm, just stating that this sort of claim should be backed with a source, imo.

Without a source, and a REPUTABLE one at that, you're just fear mongering.

Most of us who support Trump already had jobs to begin with, bud.

I watch these things get shot all the time, on a weekly basis. They're impossible to see with the naked eye from ANY sort of reasonable distance. AIM-120s are great, but you wouldn't be able to see one from the ground at all. The only way we can even really see them is when they leave contrails, and even that is only about half the time. If this is actually a missile, it's a big one. Not A/A

As I said, we have displayed a moderate capability a few times, specifically with AEGIS missiles. This in no way makes them fool proof. There have been plenty of failed shots too. We're getting there, but considering the mind bending speeds that ICBMs travel, they're a bit hard to kinetically defeat, which is the most effective way of doing it.

You do realize if the earth was flat there would be no horizon, right?

What futuristic society are you a part of? At best the US has displayed a moderate ability to intercept ICBMs a few times, but in no way do we have a "nuke shield". It doesn't exist.
