        And you can launch more than one missile. You can also launch MIRVs. Or multiple MIRVs. The point being, with US backing, Taiwan has many fun toys to use against the Chinese to make their lives hell even without us showing up to the party – which we would, with very minimal fucking about, because Taiwan’s got dem microchips. And we want dem microchips.

        Even Israel have problems stopping everything when the swarms if missiles are large though, and those missiles don’t even have notable evasive maneuvering

        Talked to an ex-CIA agent. She couldn’t share any real secrets but did say that there are enough nukes on one submarine to destroy the entire world. The missiles also break apart into lots of other missiles. In other words, if they aren’t shot down soon after launching, we’re all fucked.
