Launch Sequence Plan (LSP)
Many Anti-Aircraft missiles find their targets based on heat. If an AC130 deploys flares, which are hot, the missiles follow them instead.
Guns are good for close work, guided missiles are good for long range targets.
They could have hit targets in roughly half the territory of the 48 contiguous states.
Bombers are military aircrafts designed to attack targets on both land and sea. They can drop bombs, fire torpedo's or launch missiles.
Air spotters do the same role as an artillery ground spotter. They are specially trained to call in artillery fire onto targets from aircraft. They can also mark the targets for other aircraft with flares and missiles. Until recently they flew in the back seat of the OV-10.
Moses, Aaron, and God where the targets of the Israelite grumblings.
It's pretty cut and dry... it's a missile launched from the surface (which can either a land-based launcher or a ship-based launcher) and it's intended to seek airborne targets (such as aircraft, drones, or cruise missiles).
creating a system of space-based satellites that could shoot down Soviet ballistic missiles before they could hit their U.S. targets
The development of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during the 1950s made long-range bombers obsolete. ICBMs provided a much faster, more direct and accurate means of delivering nuclear weapons to distant targets, making the need for manned long-range bombers less relevant in terms of strategic deterrence.
It's not known yet. PAK FA is about to be a multirole machine (attack aerial, ground and naval targets) thus it may carry a 30-mm cannon like Su-27/Su-30 (GSh-301 or its successors), Next Gen. of Russian AA-missiles from long to short range, Air-to-surface missiles, unguided missiles, guided and unguided bombs... Precise weapon load will strongly differ upon the current (future) aims of a PAK-FA squadron...
It was a direct threat to the United States - and a power move to show they could place missles within 90 miles of their border.There are actually 5 possible reasons:1. To Bargain With The USA-Krushchev may have put them there so that he had something against the USA and good agree on removing them in return for some American concessions.2. To Test The USA-The missiles could have been put there to see how string the Americans really were, whether they would back off or face up. The USSR may have wanted to test out Kennedy3. To Trap The USA-The missiles could've been a trap and Krushchev may have wanted the Americans to find them and be drawn into a nuclear war. He didn't even try to hide them.4. To Defend Cuba-The missiles could have been their to genuinely defend Cuba5. To Get The Upper Hand In The Arms Race-The missiles were put there so that the Soviet Union was at least level with the USA in the Arms Race. With their missiles in Cuba and America's missiles in Turkey, it was less likely the USA would ever launch a 'first strike' against the USSR.
