And they got a bunch of them inside a warhead.
And then they just drop these things.
They're ballistic.
They're not electronically steering.
They're using all this really high math to figure out, OK, if we drop it right here at this time in this direction and launch it there, it'll fall to the Earth.
and hit or explode in the atmosphere just depending on the type of nuke.
So they're tough.
It's tough.
It's a tough problem to stop ballistics.
And you really want to get at it as close to the launch as you can.
Like, you know, you want to be able to, like, have your target hit their rocket before their rocket even gets a chance to ballistically drop those missiles and stuff like that.
So it's a little bit different equation.
But I'm not, you know, I...
Like I'll ask Joe and he'll have five ideas about how it could help in any case.
I can't visualize how it would help in that mission right now, but where I can visualize it will help, it will protect the protector.
So as we set up THAADS and we set up these different bases, we should have our systems and other systems like ours
protecting those type of things from a Jersey drone types.
You know, like if you have a Chinese boat with a bunch of containers off the shore, sending in a swarm of drones like the Ukrainians did in Operation Spiderweb,
you have that last lane of defense so that your big missiles and your big sort of defensive type systems aren't being taken out.
It's the same.
