US Navy destroyer shoots down an ICBM in milestone test
Context: China very recently claimed to have struck a ship at sea over a thousand miles away with an ICBM fired from the interior of China. That&#x27;s an obvious threat to US carrier group-based force projection<p>So this demonstration looks likely a response to that, not specifically about WMD threats this time<p>Probably both these tests were under ideal conditions, as usual, but they&#x27;re about sending a message as much as anything practical
