If you wanted to eliminate the second strike capabilities in a nuclear war, how hard would it be sink the enemies SSBN's and destory his missile silos?

Step 1: Locate enemy missile silo and sub locations
Step 2: Realize step 1 is nigh impossible
Step 3: Glass anyone and everyone sending out a launch signal

How fast is an ICBM actually?
I remember hearing once that it takes about 30 mins from the launch of the missile to the warheads hitting their targets.

Wouldn't that obviously depend on the distance?

American ICBM development has stagnated. Unlike China's which is developing. American ICBM is like American Harpoon missile, made in 1960's no matter how it is upgraded the base design is very old. Chinese missile is like YJ-18, no analog anywhere in the world. It is the same speed like Harpoon when start of ballistic trajectory but when it reaches apogee it becomes super hypersonic terminal missile that no defense can defend against.
Americans may say we are making things like that too! But those will not reach production as they only serve to funnel more money into Jewish companies.

Jow Forums has chinks?

Preseed areas of operations with underwater sonar
Know where the enemy is at all times even in peace time
locate enemy subs with your HK subs and planes
defeat threat

Is this post ironic fake chink trolling? I'm confused.

Missile silos are already mapped. This is why the US doesn't update the Minuteman III, and the russians have gone to road mobile ICBM's.
Christopher Thompson
3000+ to 7000+ m/s reentry speed depending on range.

>impossible
Its called SOSSUS
Luis Miller
You don't need to.
Just burn all the crops and salt the earth.
Starvation does the rest.
Ethan Moore
Just use your AK and RPG to shoot down the missiles bro

US icbms developed I'm the 60s are still faster than chinese or Russian missiles.
Jacob Campbell
Yeah sure

Who's more vulnerable?
Carrier Strike Groups to submarines or permanent fortifications to stealth aircraft?
John Martinez
Yeah until an American laser cannon puts a nice little hole in your hypersonic glide craft and compromises its aerodynamics and it tears itself apart.

Well it depends, but the Russian nuke sub stuff has that sinking/irradiate crew functionality built in so you just do nothing and their missiles literally never hit what they are aimed at so just let them launch anyway as they have a 50/50 of just hitting something Russian

Maybe a high level intelligence operation in which you manage to recruit someone near the top of their command structure who knows all the pertinent details of their nuclear forces. Even if you bagged such a mole though, there's a strong possibility you wouldn't be able to eliminate all of their units, especially the SSBNS which are hidden in the wild west that is the ocean. Your side could still be facing massive casualties in the event of war.
Probably in 50-100 years from now computers will have become so advanced and technology so radically altered that questions like this will seem elementary. In the year 2119, whichever power's computer systems are the most advanced will have the military technological advantage and will rule the world.
Primitive sneak attack on silos method I thought of: What if you had a fleet of commercial dump trucks and filled them with boulders. A few hours before you launch your strategic nuclear attack, these trucks smash through the gates of missile silo facilities in the enemy country and dump their cargo of rocks onto the missile hatches. When the hatches blow open to launch the ICBMs the rocks fall in and damage the missile. It blows up in the silo or is so messed up that it won't hit its target. Got the idea after listening to a podcast about that ICBM that blew up because a guy dropped a wrench while working on it.

During the cold war, Russian boomers were basically followed 24/7 by NATO hunter killers. There wasn't a single minute of the cold war they didn't have a metaphorical shotgun wired to their foreheads.
