Part 3/12:
Many scientists and defense analysts express skepticism about the immediate feasibility of such an all-encompassing missile defense network. Historically, missile intercept technologies have faced challenges due to the complexity of destroying fast-moving projectiles mid-air. Shooting a missile with another missile involves precise calculations, advanced sensors, and significant resources.
However, proponents argue that current technological advancements suggest that a layered defense system—integrating ground-based, sea-based, and space-based interceptors—is within reach. The key accelerant is political will; with sufficient funding and committed leadership, scientific hurdles can be overcome.
