I think it's a great idea, and most of the people living in the flats are probably there for free anyway. Quit whining, I say - it's hardly the worst thing about living in said areas!
Muggings, Violence, Riots: Ooo, lets give them missiles too!
David Cameron is a fucking imbecile. Not because anyone their is smart enough to use them, because someone there is stupid enought to try to dick around with them. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
Clearly he has a few more *brain cells than you. This is a manned missile *system, It will have armed guards*... *Strangely *the Army guard these things *wherever they are. These weapon systems are field support weapons locally *operated. Hell*, the whole point* *that's causing most of the fuss is that *it's so *independant of systems that no matter how much radar and *radiojammings *are going on it will still take out the target. If there are no soldiers on it 24/7 then *there's no point in having it there.
Comedic effect mixed with a pinch of sarcasm, try picking it up next time, also improve your spelling and grammar if you want to call someone else stupid. The real problem is, any threat that may or may not occur at the olympics won't warrant the missile response. Each missile has a detonation radius of 150 miles or so, which means, circle of death that only serves to kill thousands of our own people and maybe the two or three people who caused the threat in the first place. And do you really believe that two or three armed guards is going to stop a fuckton of idiots and/or nutjobs trying to arse around with the missiles? This entire thing actually helps the people it's supposed to deter, a few hundred of them die detonating it, a few thousand civilians are killed in the resultant explosion. Yes it's unmanned, but you can still detonate a large explosive device by tampering with it. Ironically this is a safety protocol. It's insanely dangerous to put it there, because it will ultimatley just be used against us.
Sorry if i made a couple of Typos. I do however have a degreee in Engineering. The typos and grammer are made worse bybeeing dyslexic.
150 mile detonation radious? Thats impressive for a weapon of 4.3 mile range and a 2lb warhead. Nuclear weapons dont have detonation radii that big for much larger weapons. This weapon is designed to HIt the target before detonation (unusual for an AA missile). The other land based ssytem in use at the olympics has similar range and a payload in the same order of magnitude.
Two men with assault rifles on a tower like this are fairly safe from a riot, as theres only so many ways up to them.
Even if you detonatted the missiles stored on site (not that easy) the resulting explosion would be far from likely to knock down that building.
Terrosit incidents in the UK are not mob affairs, they are small cell affairs.
IF a large mob tried to gain access to the building an judges a threat then a helicopter could evac the missiles and soldiers in suprisingly short time.
