If an attack was launched and it was successful then you could be looking at an entire campaign being setback at best and at worst the loss of a war.
Good to know that someone has identified the potential problem...lets hope this works as advertised.
DALLAS, June 6, 2013 – Lockheed Martin’s [NYSE: LMT] PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) Missile successfully engaged, intercepted and destroyed two different threat representative targets during a flight test today at White Sands Missile Range, N.M.We've talked about Missile Saturation Attacks against Carriers and big deck Amphibs, but we've ignored attacks against land targets...marshalling areas, ports, airports, etc...
The first target engagement involved two PAC-3 MSE Missiles ripple fired against an advanced Tactical Ballistic Missile (TBM) target. The first MSE Missile successfully engaged a TBM target, while the second missile self-destructed as planned. A third PAC-3 MSE Missile engaged a BQM-74 cruise missile target. Preliminary data indicates that all test objectives were achieved.
If an attack was launched and it was successful then you could be looking at an entire campaign being setback at best and at worst the loss of a war.

This is cool!
