>Medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) launches, arcs up like a normal BM.
>It’s packing a cluster of air-to-air missiles (think cut-down AIM-120s, METEORs, or PL-15s) as MIRV-style reentry vehicles.
>Gets close to the target (AWACS, tanker, etc., with fighter escorts), pops open, and unleashes the AAMs.
>Each AAM locks on with its own radar/seeker, going for the HVA and its escorts. Total chaos, escorts can’t cover everything.
>Stupid long range (1000km+)
>Ballistic trajectory = sneaky, hard to predict until it’s too late.
>Multiple AAMs could clown on escorts, letting at least one slip through to the HVA.
Could the MIRV concept be used to create an AABM (antiair ballistic missile) to kill high-value air targets like AWACS or tankers from 1000km+ away?
