Pentagon setting up six massive radar sites in north-west U.S. and Canada in case Russia fires new low-flying HYPERSONIC cruise missiles over the NORTH POLE

Be good to know something is 2 minutes away.
Kinda like tornado sirens.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The U.S. is boosting its radar systems in the wake of the Chinese spy balloon incident earlier this year

  • 'Over-the horizon' radar will allow early detection of any threats coming in over the Arctic

#11  Point taken TW, thanks!

#10  No point in arguing with a diehard purist, dear Seeking Cure. Whatever the subject, they deem it worthwhile to pay the extra 80% for that last 20% of improvement (or 95% and 5%, if that happens to be the case). Let us be grateful we live in a free, capitalist country, where we both may and can choose whichever makes us happier.

#9  Because I'm a diehard purist, I ordered two 4oz bottles of LSA this morning. At $20. per bottle, I nearly had to solicit a payday loan.

Why buy LSA oil when 3-in-one oil is basically the same thing? (And a lot cheaper.)

#8  ref # 2

Absolutely correct. But then, those Montana Silo's and Pacific SSBN nuke boats will have an answer that will ruin your day. MAD works.

#7  However those sites won’t defend ...

That's why we have the Falkland Islands.

#4  Rural armed survivors will be very difficult to root out.

Ordered my ammo Friday. It arrived Wednesday.
Curbside delivery, gate closed.
No tampering by passersby.

#3  As if anyone needed another reason NOT to visit NYC, D.C. LA, Atlanta, or Chicago. The post-conflict, interim government (PCIG) will last many years. Rural armed survivors will be very difficult to root out. The PCIG may have to allow former States to remain autonomous. Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas quickly come to mind.

Perhaps an American 'Philippe Petain' will surface, and a Vichy-America will come about. Or are we already there ?

Gavin Newsom where are you ?

#2  However those sites won’t defend against a Russian Burevestnik or Chinese Long March 2C missile coming over (under?) the South Pole

#1  "Four large plots of land are being bought by the U.S. Air Force in the U.S. and two in Canada for radar systems."

I don't think I will see it in my lifetime.

Next will be a THAAD upgrade?
