Ark,
I never said that IRBM launches=nuclear war (though it could mean that in a tense situation). I'm saying that sinking a carrier=all-out war, which between nuclear powers, means nuclear war.
Second, when have the Chinese ever demonstrated this weapon? They seem quite eager to disseminate pictures and videos of their J-20 prototype as exposition of their technical prowess. As for that US demonstration: not ballistic and no target (moving or otherwise), a very poor comparison.
Third, radar doesn't run on magic. With an IRBM's flight profile, your costly Chinese mini-shuttles would need transceivers an order of magnitude more powerful and larger than anything a MARV could carry. Pershing II's MARV carried radar, but that was only for fine tuning it's trajectory at the very end of its flight to a stationary target; one still had to tell the inertial guidance system where the target was because there simply isn't time for an IRBM warhead to dick around looking for it. |
