re: #666 RogueOne

Umm, shooting a missile at a weapon designed to shoot down missiles is a good way to lose a lot of missiles. Like I said, it’s not perfect (yet) and don’t rain on my parade!

ARMs are smaller than artillery systems and faster, too. They also have a different trajectory, and the system would need to be agile enough to recognize them.

Secondly, I take issue with China being classified as “sophisticated”. There’s a short list of professional militaries in the world and they aren’t on it.

They should be on your list. Their air force is improving rapidly.
