    Of course a ballistic missile can hit a moving target. But to do that, it needs guidance, either IR or radar. And it also needs a lot of information to get it into the right area. Once there, it can be steered on to a target.

    I would hope the US military is not as racist as you in thinking the Chinese are of inferior intelligence/capability. If so, we may as well give up.

    An ICBM of course would probably have some trouble slowing down enough
    so
    that the plasma on its nose doesn't block the radar... but an IRBM
    being
    capable of tracking something should hardly be news, the Pershing II
    had a
    guidance radar to match terrain already. Being able to track moving
    targets shouldn't be very hard four decades later, should it? ;-)

    Disarming plans are crying to launch.

    As that plans needs an idea to guide the rules, a basic idea is
    supressing first the cheaper weapons, with higher rates of malignity.
    After that, older ones before new ones.

    The fraudster market of insecurity needs to be feed.

    They're not lacking intelligence, just common sense...
