and if N.Korea still fired em' we could still shoot them out of the sky. since they'd have to cross an ocean we could blow them up over the water so as not to harm anyone.
Yeah, we can, but not all. North Korea still has more missiles than U.S. has ABM and U.S. Navy's point defense systems have a maximum range of 10 miles or so; they use guns, you see, either a Gatling or an ultra-high-power shotgun. And they usually don't begin firing until the missiles are nearly at point-blank range to maximize barrel life span, so chances are low that the point defense systems will intercept the missiles unless they were flying directly towards them. We still don't have a potent defense against the normal artillery shells, however, (the only anti-shell point defense system is deployed in Israel only as of now) and South Korean analysts think it will be the forward artillery of North Korea that will deal most damage to South's defense because of that. 11,000 guns pointed at your head, and you can't stop them.
Plus i dont think they'd be all that accurate. More range = Less accuracy.
North Koreans don't need accurate missiles. Seoul is plenty wide; they only need to fire in the general direction with the rocket fuse set to stop at around 30-200 miles outbound, depending on where the missiles' launchers were located.
Edit: N. Korea doesn't have any ICBMS any way.
They do, and it's named Taepodong-2. Their first test technically failed last April because the missile's third stage shorted out but the Iranians are helping them fix that. They've been showing a lot of improvement in the past few years.
And I still don't know if U.S. Navy helicopters come with CM packs.
(looks at Proin longingly) I typed 'U.S. Navy helicopter countermeasure' in Google but the search results don't look very helpful.
Lol I know Harriers have flares but I want to know if the helicopters do too.
