Re: US plans to shoot down Satellite
Given events in Iraq etc. the US forces would have a much better chance of hitting this thing if they'd painted it in 'friendly' colours.

Re: US plans to shoot down Satellite
Shoot down the Sky broadcasting satellites. They are the greatest danger to man for they are slowly steaming viewers brains out instead of encouraging intelligent thought.

Re: US plans to shoot down Satellite
And funnily enough they're planning to use the AEGIS missile defence variant of the SM3 missile. Ruskiis aren't happy and will no doubt be even less happy if it works.

Re: US plans to shoot down Satellite
just a bit amazed that the Yanks used an Aegis for it.... but then saying that they are the most advanced ships they got.
Also afaik the US has anti satelite missiles that it fits on F-15's

Well the variant of the SM3 they used is specifically a ballistic missile defence weapon, not an anti-satellite weapon but USA193 was a prime target being at similar altitudes to a re-entry vehicle/warhead. The F15 based ASAT project was actually cancelled at the end of the 80s (or should I say supposedly cancelled )
