How does Intercontinental ballistic missile from North Korea hit US? If it is guided by satellite, then why US government let the wrong satellite orbitting above their home land?

ICBMs do not usually use GPS or similar satellite based navigation systems because they are too easily jammed or corrupted by the owners of the satellites.
Quote from: Charles Hixon
Are ICBMs guided after their initial boost? Can they be steered to the target?
Actually most warheads are not guided by GPS. They are completely self sufficient but are actually aimed at certain targets (or a set of selectable targets) prior to launch.

They often have two guidance tools.

1) INS- inertial navigation system, this spins a gyroscope (several actually) that is often pointed at a celestial object, because the inertia of the gyroscope causes it to resist being pointed in any other direction, it will always point towards this celestial object regardless of the direction changes the missile makes. This provides a reference for the computer to always know where it is in relation to this object, and therefore make adjustments accordingly. You may have heard this in some submarine movies like Crimson Tide, where they tell the crew to “spin up the missiles”. This is a reference to starting the gyroscopes in preparation for launch.

2) Ground mapping radar. Preloaded satellite radar images of a target destination are loaded into the warheads computer. When the Warhead enters its terminal phase, it turns on its radar it then checks the image it is reading from the ground with the loaded image of the target and makes corrections for accurate delivery.

No such thing as an ICBM. It's basically nonsense.
Missiles have so little stored propellant, an arc and height required for intercontinental travel is rendered impossible when logically looked into.

The issue is the fantasy of it being widespread media pushed into the psyche of the general public.
We are a bunch of naive mind absorbent people who basically mimic what's fed to us, which is why things like ICBM's and what not become a mind reality but not a physical reality. In my honest opinion of course.

My words are full to me and anyone else who has the logic to understand why a ICBM is nonsense.
They simply cannot hold enough fuel for starters.
Also they have no guidance system other than fins.
Missiles are simply darts thrown  slightly off vertical to create an  arc towards a target.
To do this they need an enormous amount of fuel just to reach a vertical cut off point before they hit that horizontal ready for down arcing.
You'd get a lot further if you launched the missile at an acute angle at launch.
Basic logic with simple objects, like darts, pea shooters and such can prove what will and won't work.

Either way the missiles are absolutely not going to go intercontinental.


The other issue we have is being shown so called ICBM's that apparently move over terrain to their target and have no need for arcing, apparently.
Anyone should be able to understand how nonsensical this is.
You need wings for starters but not just ordinary wings like a plane would have. Why?

Because a plane is basically a hollow tube with people in it and fuel in the wings, apparently.
In a so called ICBM moving horizontally as we are shown at times, it would require wings so large to cater for the actual pay load and also the stored fuel inside the actual cylindrical like structure...unless it acts like a plane in all ways except the obvious people inside, which would then make it an empty plane like missile.


Ahhhhh but scepti, a cruise missile is one just ICBM. No it's not. Not with those tiny wings.
They may all look good on movie camera but as we all know, movie camera's don't always depict real life events but make it appear so.

I can stop you there. They don't need to be guided by satellite.

They launch and can either go based purely upon where they are from and how they are moving, or they can instead use various means to monitor their environment, such as the multitude of radio towers used to help some planes navigate, or mapping.

Radio communication blocked by horizon (maximum distance 100 km).
No. The higher they are the further it can go.

No such thing as an ICBM. It's basically nonsense.
Missiles have so little stored propellant, an arc and height required for intercontinental travel is rendered impossible when logically looked into.
You not liking something doesn't magically mean it is nonsense.
I would say it isn't rocket science, but in this case it is.

Why don't you provide some of this "logical looking into" for us?
Just how much fuel do you think they need?

Also, "missile" is a very broad term.
ICBMs are more akin to rockets than more common missiles.

They simply cannot hold enough fuel for starters.
Prove it.

Also they have no guidance system other than fins.
Do you mean control surfaces? If so, they are vastly different to guidance systems.
Fins can be used, but I think they are more likely to use various forms of thrust vectoring. That tends to work better at high altitudes.

You'd get a lot further if you launched the missile at an acute angle at launch.
No, yo uthen have a lot more air (by mass) to deal with.

Basic logic with simple objects, like darts, pea shooters and such can prove what will and won't work.
So back to the pathetic analogies?

The other issue we have is being shown so called ICBM's that apparently move over terrain to their target and have no need for arcing, apparently.
Where?
Are you confusing them with cruise missiles, i.e. guided missiles with significantly shorter range than an ICBM?

In a so called ICBM moving horizontally as we are shown at times, it would require wings so large to cater for the actual pay load and also the stored fuel inside the actual cylindrical like structure...unless it acts like a plane in all ways except the obvious people inside, which would then make it an empty plane like missile.
Or, the people and cargo are replaced by the payload. Did you ever think of that one?
But again, that is a cruise missile, not an ICBM.

You still have presented nothing to back that up. But remember that an ICBM is not an aircraft.
It is a rocket and apart from the initial burn to accelerate it to the appropriate sub-orbital trajectory it follows a "ballistic path" and needs no more fuel apart from small mid-course corrections.
The very name, InterContinental Ballistic Missile implies that.

Quote from: sceptimatic
Also they have no guidance system other than fins.
No that is incorrect, the fins on most rockets and ICBM's are simply for stability and some course adjustment during the initial launch while in the high density part of the atmosphere.
Once out of most of the atmosphere course adjustment is via vanes in the exhaust stream, a gimballed rocket engine and/or small manouvering thrusters.
And many have virtually no fins.

No, they are far more than "simply darts thrown slightly off vertical to create an arc towards a target". They are steerable after launch and in the later phase during the re-entry and targetting phase.

Quote from: sceptimatic

So you say, but you have given no valid reasons for your claim!

Now you are not talking about ICBMs at all but cruise-missiles and these do fly just like a plane.
Cruise-missiles can have very small wings

Incorrect because an ICBM does not move horizontally other than at the zenith of its almost parabolic trajectory so an ICBM.

They may all look good on movie camera but as we all know, movie camera's don't always depict real life events but make it appear so.
There are numerous types of guided an unguided missiles from small shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile through the whole range of sizes up to ICBMs.
Then the cruise-missiles that fly like small aircraft. These can have much smaller wings that aircraft because they do not have to fly at low speeds to take-off and land.

For long range we need rocket as a fuel, not just initial velocity.
Once the ICBM has reached it's required velocity it is outside almost all the earth's atmosphere and flies a ballistic (hence the name) trajectory.
No more fuel is needed for propulsion, just a small amount for course corrections and final targetting.

The calculations are fairly straightforward over a flat plane with constant gravity and here is an online calculator: Ballistic Trajectory (2-D) Calculator. Try 9900 m/s and 45° launch angle.
But the more realistic case of launching through air over a rotating earth where gravity decreases with altitude is far harder and usually done by numerical integration.
Here is a PG student's version: BALLISTIC MISSILE TRAJECTORY ESTIMATION by Joseph Dituri
It's all a bit hard for me ;).

I'm game for hearing what alternatives exist that perform the same function as these weapon systems bearing in mind they would also need to have the same tactical utility; what I mean is a cruise missile performs a specific role while engaging in-theater.  Given what it does (highly accurate targeting attack), I could see GPS or laser guided, aircraft dropped bombs doing some of the same work, but the damage would be very different.  You'd need to reconcile that too.

Logic and sense without having the physical proof's, like everyone else.
If you want to look into this stuff in a serious manner then look up ICBM's from submarines and ask yourself a few questions on how they're big enough and fuelled enough to get out of the deep water and also home in on a long distance target.

As has been said, ICBM's are apparently "rockets" and what is meant by that is, big so called space rocket types.

Ballistic missiles is about the ugliest you will get to long distance destruction.
Not 1000's of miles, just a hundred or so...and I think I'm being a bit generous saying that.


However, it's ICBM's we are talking about so it's just a case of...do they exist or are they just another fantasy?
I go with the latter.

Were your missiles, ICBM's?

Did you see any launched from your sub?
Do you know how they were launched?
Do you know at what depth is the max launch of those missiles.
How tall were those missiles?

What fuel were they carrying?
I assume those missiles were fully fuelled just in case they had to be deployed in minutes, right?

I'm just being nosey and asking questions. I'll grill you until you start using classified and what not.

Not 1000's of miles, just a hundred or so...and I think I'm being a bit generous saying that.
And I don't' really care if you think you are being generous.
You have backed it up with absolutely nothing.

There is no logic at all.

How are you arriving at your number of a hundred or so miles? It seems to just be more garbage pulled from thin air.

Simple ballistic missiles that don't go very far and basically land back in the drink.
I'm not sure if there are any documented cases of so called ICBM's being launched and hitting targets on other continents....have they?

Have you seen one launched and if so,w here were you on the sub at launch.
Also if the blast is 33 kilotons then there would be one hell of a water shift. Do you have any physical proof of any of this happening?
Tell me about the launch system unless you're going to cover yourself and go into super secret mode.

I don't believe they launch at all but seeing as you mention they don't launch from depths, then subs sitting in the middle of the sea with ready launch ability in the event of a supposed nuclear war to supposedly hit targets on continents, is basically pointless....unless you believe those subs are just sitting in the waters of the enemy with ready to fire so called nuclear tipped ballistic missiles that have a minimal range.

How much proof do you have against what I have?
Pictures?
Books?
Internet?
Or do you have absolute physical proof?

You have backed it up with absolutely nothing.

There is no logic at all.

How are you arriving at your number of a hundred or so miles? It seems to just be more garbage pulled from thin air.
It could well be garbage what I'm spewing.
I could end up speculating without physical evidence that gleans zilch.

I'm not calling it a fact that all this doesn't exist. I'm questioning (hard) about the existence of this type of stuff and I will use all available wording to hammer that home.

What I won't use is....FACT.
However, I see plenty of people like yourself claiming I pass it off as fact...but it's not the truth, is it?

However, you calling what I say as garbage is all well and good. I can equally call what you are saying, garbage until you prove to me that what I am saying, is garbage.
How are you going to do that?

Again, you are discussing cruise missiles, not ICBMs.
The two are vastly different. Stop pretending that they are the same.
I'm discussing ICBM's mainly. I merely used cruise missiles as the winged horizontal variety of long distance supposed city annihilators.

As far as cruise missiles are concerned why don’t you speak to someone from Baghdad. I think many of the residents who lived there in 1993 will have direct first hand experience of them.

And what did they tell you?

I don't have an absolute physical proof. I don't think anyone does unless they rode one down to the target and actually lived to tell the tale. But here's a cool video:



If you think ICBM's are a myth, then just explain why and back it up with something other than "I just think so." I could deliver to you countless hours of missile launch/strike footage of the non-nuclear type (b/c if I had that, the nuclear type, I probably wouldn't be typing right now and you wouldn't be reading right now), so what's the big jam for you that these things exist?

The big jam is, all your other notions don't allow for them. All fine and good. But until you have, as you asked for above, for your other notions:

"How much proof do you have against what I have?
Pictures?
Books?
Internet?
Or do you have absolute physical proof?"


Seems hypocritical to ask for 'absolute physical proof' in this instance, where when it comes to, let's say a critical component of den pressure being this dome affair, you provide none. Not even a crappy youtube video. Curious.

There's nothing really hypocritical about what I'm saying. I'm not pushing my theory out as fact and I'm not expecting anyone to accept anything I do say, as fact.

I think I have a right to question everything even if I do not have any physical evidence to prove my point.
I can make assumptions on anything based on what I believe from my side, just as you can by your acceptance of stuff you've never witnessed as a reality.

You are no more clued up on what the truth is than I am and yet you have a library of info on what I'm questioning.
In your mind it probably gives you some kind of authority over me when it comes down to proof but the stark reality could be a massive zero proof.


I simply look at what I'm shown and I try not to let special effects or potential special effects to alter my questioning mind, until I'm sure I'm on the wrong track with something.

The video you put up looks like the special effects I'm talking about.
Who's taking the footage?

Where are the fins on the so called missiles that balance the missile?
How could you possibly steer one to its target looking like that?

How can you literally propel one of those things out of a sub, vertically, using compressed air so that it jumps right out of the water by its entire length and then to immediately full thrust to carry that mass away from the water before it drops right back into it?

What about the so called massive kiloton blast on the water?

It all sounds fantastic and magical. It all appears to be the strong arm of the military and the super technological weaponry advances...but that's what I think it all is in terms of what I'm questioning. It's fantasy passed off as fact to the ever gullible masses.
