A secret defense system more likely looks like signals jamming, but I digress. Great thread, brah, thanks :).
I'm curious what signal you'd be jamming, theoretically? Nukes are truly fire-and-forget. Doctrine is to keep the arsenal high-survival until you loose the doves. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/World-wide_delivery_in_30_minutes_or_less.JPG The whole point of the exercise, from an American standpoint, is "get shit aloft in the amount of time between 'detection' and 'annihilation." Doctrine relies on a successful vengeance strike when C&C is assumed to be radioactive vapor. Meanwhile, the Soviet standpoint was "get shit aloft AFTER we're radioactive vapor because there's no way we can launch in 30 minutes."
