What Nulka? Looks it up...
Oh, so instead of hard intercepts, they are going to put their prayers in soft defenses. The
toy doesn't even have IR jamming. I understand that at least a few SSM and ASMs are incorporating IR/IIR homing as an option... there are also ASMs with passive radar homing capability - that toy might just attract everyone with its jamming - the first wave goes for the toy, but the second wave hits when the jamming goes down and the ship itself is unmasked...
Not to mention according to the site they'd basically be installing it on everyone but the Perrys...
Perrys are supposed to be cheap units, but the men cost as much as the ones anywhere else I would think.
