How should the U.S. react if Russia starts hitting US Cities with Conventional Warheads?

Here is thr latest I have seen about this new Russian missile. I think it's only logical that anyone who advocates missile strikes on Russian territory contemplate what we can/will do when our territory is hit.


This weapon is a hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) developed by Russia. It possesses advanced capabilities that make it a strategic game-changer.

Key Features:

Range:

Classified as intermediate-range, it can travel between 300 and 5,500 miles, capable of hitting targets across Europe, from Italy to the United Kingdom and Scandinavia.

Hypersonic Speed:

The missile travels at Mach 10 (10 times the speed of sound), far exceeding the minimum threshold for hypersonic speed, which starts at Mach 4 or 5.

At such speeds, it is almost impossible for current air defense systems in the U.S. or Europe to intercept.

MIRV Warhead:

MIRV stands for Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicle.
The missile carries several smaller warheads inside its nosecone. Upon reentry, these warheads separate and independently strike different targets.
Think of it like a cluster bomb, but with each fragment being a guided missile capable of hitting separate, precise locations.

MARV Technology:

MARV stands for Maneuverable Reentry Vehicle.
These warheads can adjust their trajectory during descent, making them unpredictable and highly difficult to intercept.
This maneuverability allows it to evade air defenses.

Kinetic Energy Impact:

The warheads can destroy targets using kinetic energy alone, without carrying explosives.
The sheer weight and velocity of the projectile produce devastating results upon impact, capable of penetrating deeply into the ground and obliterating structures.
For example, one missile recently destroyed a one-square-mile defense plant, relying solely on kinetic energy.

Non-Nuclear Capability:

While it could theoretically carry nuclear warheads, it has demonstrated immense destructive power without them. This makes it a strategic weapon that avoids the political and environmental fallout of nuclear use.

Deployment and Payload:

It can deliver 26 or more smaller projectiles per launch, each of which can independently target and destroy separate locations.
Strategic Implications:

This missile provides Russia with a weapon capable of striking strategically significant targets, such as military installations, without the need for traditional explosives or nuclear material.
It is designed to function as a strategic deterrent by demonstrating overwhelming power and precision.

Summary:

This hypersonic IRBM combines speed, precision, and versatility. It can overwhelm defenses through its maneuverability, independently targeted projectiles, and devastating kinetic energy. It represents a leap forward in missile technology, providing strategic advantages without relying on nuclear weaponry.

Well it sure hasn't worked with the f35. Less than one in three mission capable.

Almost a billion dollars a piece for f35s that actually fly.

That kind of crap is why we are not ready for what's going down in Europe. Lockeed Matin and the Military Industrial Complex have been screwing us over big time.

It depends on what cities are hit.

Don’t!

So if they start hitting us with similar tech in North America, do we go straight to nukes? What about if they take out that new US base in Poland. Nukes?

You’d like that wouldn’t you?

Nukes are a last resort. Really, they are a deterrent for someone who fires nukes first. I think you’re ignorant as to the nukes. Someone doesn’t just fire one. A country fires a few and then the other country immediately fires more in response. We have to fire our nukes BEFORE their nukes destroy ours.

If a nuke gets fired from any country, it’s automatically nuclear war with hundreds, if not thousands, of nukes being fired around the world within a matter of minutes.

If it’s LA, NYC, DC, Portland, SF, Austin, Berkley, Seattle, Minneapolis, Philly, Chicago… the answer is applaud.
