| #7 Patriot and THAAD are complimentary systems. According to Global Security, Patriot PAC-3 has a max altitude of 15km and a slant range of 15-45km. THAAD has a max altitude of 150km and a slant range of 200km. The THAAD defends a wide area, while the PAC-3 is more of a point defense system. |

| #6 Whoa... THAAD seems like a more beefier missile than their standard ABM missiles. Seems a lot more powerful than the PAC3 missiles. I wonder what size charge they have up there. That previous link has some awesome details. |

| #4 Albuquerque media showed the spectacular pics of contrails and glowing ionized material high in the skies over New Mexico early in the morning. I slept through it all, unfortunately. |

| #2 Kimmie hears that, but first, his long-range missiles have to make it beyond the launchpad. Does anyone have news on what happened to NORKY rocket scientists that designed Nork missile that failed? I image that in the spirit of Stalinism, these guys are breathing dirt. Just a theory. |
