Yeah, it's possible, if you know exactly where the missile is and exactly where it's going in advance.

Plus, there are or will be 747s with antimissile lazorz.

That program was cancelled. To expencive and impractical, from what I heard.

[MrWiggles]

Well, if its seconds from detection to target, then yea, there is no chance to intercept the missile.

However, if given even a minuet maybe a little less if its automated, it should be possible. Though, 100% interception will never be possible.

In b4 reflective shielding on missiles.

And just an FYI, a SCUD is not an ICBM is definitely not an artillery round. Yes. You can put a nuclear warhead on those. Good luck tracking something with no exhaust.

My uncle worked on that program.

Not to mention you'd have to have antimissile planes flying in the right direction at exactly the right time by chance.

[Eugenitor]

I'm pretty sure the program was developed when people realized that aircraft can be brought down with certain kinds of missile launcher, some of which are more portable than others (the Stinger is the favorite). So it's not "by chance", it's to protect the plane itself.

You mad?

Srsly NK stands no chance, America will just out dick anyone else. China could try but America would still win.

First of all, we have established that. However, there is a thing called "civilian casualties" and another called "collateral damage" and a third called "North Korean missiles having the capacity to hit the eighth largest city in the world" that we need to watch out for. Though if NK used a nuke in combat, China would hopefully be severely pissed off enough at them to do our dirty work for us. Or at least some of it.

[Nikov]

Yeah, it's possible, if you know exactly where the missile is and exactly where it's going in advance.

Or have heard of top-secret DARPA technology called "radar" and "computing".

Its like you guys think we're stuck in World War II.

Don't say that sort of stuff! You'll get the NSA on us!

[Akura]

Unfortunately, most missile launches are detected by the fuel ignition. If you miss that, then by the time you realized that radar blip was an actual missile, it'd be too late. (and wouldn't exactly help with nuclear artillery, either)

Not only that, but you don't need an ICBM to hit SK from NK. Any number of cruise or low-altitude/short-range missile systems can be adapted to carry a nuclear warhead.

That picture there is older technology being updated with a missile-based defence system. That, or even the newer system, can't intercept artillery rounds. Even if it could, NK has tons of artillery; they'd keep firing until it runs out of ammo.
