I did mention him, but at no point was he given an order to fire.

Agreed mate, this is an Everton forum!
So we can't destroy the missiles in the air? That is disappointing. I know the nuclear explosion would still be massive (and significant) but hoped it would be out at sea or miles in the air or something...
You say that, but what about at the end of Rocky 4, when all the Soviet’s in the crowd stand up and start chanting “ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!”?

Are you a Klingon?
No, im just a very old man and she looks a bit young to me.
Who is it and how old is she?

I have no idea mate. I am just a Klingon recon officer tapping into your internets.
His successor will probably be someone very similar to himself and I wouldn't count on very much changing.
Aye no chance of being ambushed by anything there.
That would be an ecumenical matter.
If ballistic missile submarines were to say attack the UK or US, they'd be nowhere near near us; in fact, as a matter of policy they'll in a remote location.
In terms of where would be struck, the common belief that we'd be attacking cities first, because they're cities, is incorrect.
If a shooting war commenced, we'd be hitting their military targets and key infrastructure, which might mean cities will be hit, but think air bases and whatnot.
Absolutely no idea mate. Our defence is multi-layered.
1. Detect the ballistic missiles (they could be ICBM’s, or tactical ballistic missiles or even air launched nuclear cruise missiles.
We use the BMEWS system, of which RAF Fylingdales is one of four early warning sites.
2. For ICBM’s the main point defence is the US based GMD system that kills the ICBM’s in space - but is used to protect the US. Don’t know much about it but they have 4 interceptor sites deployed in the US.
In Europe, ICBM and LR ballistic missile point defence is based on AEGIS (Ashore and sea-based). Effectively there are land based sites in Poland and Romania linked to an EW radar system in Turkey. There are also 4 deployed AEGIS destroyers in Europe at any one time. 2 in Med, one by U.K. and one up North. The U.K. also has 6 type 45 destroyers who can also intercept ICBM’s. These will be deployed around our coastline.
3. For medium / short range ballistic missile defence there are THAAD sites deployed in Romania and Germany
4. For short /tactical range ballistic missile defence Patriot PAC-3 sites are deployed in Poland, Slovakia, Germany, Holland,
As a final barrier all nato countries will deploy their own short range AD systems. For us it would be Sky sabre. Deployed close to all critical infrastructure sites.
