video and shit.

 

It was a sign to the rest of the world not to mess with us

If we can hit that thing, we can hit anything o:

 

We have missiles that can track a guy into a cave yet we had trouble shooting down an object the size of a bus :chuckles:

 

cool

 

No they are upset because when they hit their satellite it was a show of their technology and how if it came down to a war they could just destroy satellites and put their enemy in the dark. The US doing this is a show of "we can do it too".

It's simple posturing on both countries parts and kind of stupid if you ask me.

 

The missle probably only cost a few million to build to blow up a useless satellite. Glad we have money to throw away. :usa:

 

that would be a valid point if we had never used a missile to destroy a satellite in the past. but we have. and from a aircraft not a ship or land based like the chinese. so thats kind of a moot point. it was already known we could

theres always a bit of show off attitude when these things happen, but that wasnt the primary or deciding factor ... its not something new for the US military, they've done it before

60 mil all said and done

the missile cost 10 mil alone

 

$60 mil in the scheme of things is nothing

 

add that 60 mil to other 60 mil schemes and you get a whole lot of nothing out of all that money.
