UNTRUE.only a few have a 100m CEP. I think the Maximum Error value is a better indication of a missile accuracy. Maximum error is 2.3 times the CEP.it represents the radius of a circle in which 99% of the warheads will land. (CEP=50% of the warheads). I am doing a very extensive research about ICBM and SLBM accuracy. To date, I believe the most accurate ICBM was the cancelled Midgetman SICBM with a 90 meters CEP. The most accurate SLBM is the Trident II with a 90 meters CEP (207 meters Maximum Error.) Efforts are underway to enhance the Trident II accuracy to GPS-like margin of error. MX is widely quoted as having a 120 meters CEP (276 meters Maximum Error). The most accurate russian/icbm are the SS-18 mod5 and the ss-24, they are even more accurate than the SS-25 and SS-27.
In the future the notional Trident E6 or the Minuteman IV will certainly be more accurate than the Midgetman. The future Land Based Strategic Deterrent should be a world beater too…

Jane’s article about R-39M

Jane’s has an article about the cancelled R-39M, SS-N-28 SLBM.if someone has the whole article and could maybe post it?

favorite subs

Seawolf class: stealth, unmatched speed and firepower.mega-expensive
Sierra II: Titanium hull, robust design. very expensive beast. The Russian went for the cheaper Akula
Oscar II: 24XP700 Granit. nuff said

honorable mention:SSBn Ohio class, SSN Astute

S-400 long range missile

I am a bit confused. The long range missile of the S-400 (SA-X-21) is the 40N6, right? What is the role of 48N6DM in that picture? is it a further evolution of the 48N6E2

I am not sure but i believe the SS-24 and SS-25 are slightly more precise than the SS-27.
Anyway I believe that the MX was (is still) the ultimate BM . It’s as good as the Trident D5 is terms of CEP (300 ft) but has a larger footprint (Its MIRVS can reach targets that are very far away from one another) however the Trident will be upgraded with the Enhanced Effectiveness (E2) Reentry Body which will “bring GPS-like accuracy to a strategic weapon that can be launched and delivered to a target quickly after a decision to strike,” according to a navy admiral. This “expands the potential targets that are threatened by Trident,” and the expected improvement in accuracy means that nuclear as well as conventional warhead options are being considered. The nuclear options are examined in the navy’s SLBM Warhead Protection Program, which maintains the capability to develop replacement nuclear warheads for the Mk-5/W88 and the Mk-4/W76.

..looks like MARV to me

The Midgetman SICBM would also have been quite something in terms of precision

How to differentiate 48N6 and 48N6E2

Is there any pic of the S-300PMU2 just after “takeoff”. How can you tell if amissile is an 48N6 or an 48N6E2?

ABM systems

THAAD and Arrow supposedly go to much higher altitudes than S-300 (100 km compared to 30 km) but that’s not the point. S-300 remains mostly an anti-aicraft system while THAAD and Arrow are pure ABM systems.
Concerning the boost-phase intercept, there are big hopes that the Boost Phase Interceptor will supplement or even replace the ABL

Swiss air force F/A-18

Phantom II

I actually live in Switzerland and I’ve never seen A Hornet with Sparrow missiles.They have the APG-73 radar that allows them to shoot the AIM-120

OK, but…

I am a big supporter of Israel and I know a good deal about ABM systems. I have no doubt that the ARROW 2 is the most mature system in service today. BUT can it intercept such missiles as the SS-23 Spider and SS-26 Stone (Iskander)?. Those systems are much better than SCUDS. I don’t know if they are used outside of Russia though. One good way to know would be to try an intercept of a Pershing II IRBM (some of them may still be used as targets)
