What difference does that make seeing as the first targets of either side are all known enemy missile silos.Meaning that we'd launch our missiles at their silos and many would be destroyed before they would have enough time to reload one. You mean to tell me that the Russians can reload a missile tube and launch another one in less than 30 minutes? I highly doubt it.That process takes much longer than 30 minutes.
Did you hear that on Russia Today? Show me where you get this information from I find it very hard to believe even with a solid fuel rocket there is no way they can reload a missile tube that fast in the time to be able to launch before it gets destroyed no way that is not possible it would have to take less than 10 minutes to be reloaded and ready for launch no way Jose.I know because the silo itself gets damaged a bit by each launch even if you did a cold launch you'd need all that compressed gas back in a very short time span not to mention the actual loading of the tube and there is simply no way that that can be done effectively in such a short time as to allow a second launch from the same silo before it got destroyed by a counter strike.Why even risk such a thing in the first place and leave a silo open all that time exposed to certain destruction at least with it close up it would take a direct or very close hit with the thing open and crew trying to reload it leaves the entire thing exposed and the MIRV could be of by miles and still kill the loading crew and the exposed missile and tube.
You most be thinking of their mobile ICBM platforms and even those dotn have that fast of a turn around.
I think we need less still in the Cold War thinking.
