Tactic could exhaust an enemy’s weapon supplies, making it easier to destroy it
Engineers said they a computer simulation came back with positive results
China has successfully tested a ‘phantom space strike’ – a new tactic to overwhelm and sabotage missile defences by emitting fake target signals from space.
Military engineers announced earlier this month they had completed a computer simulation and achieved positive results.
The tactic is designed to overwhelm the enemy on the basis that there is only so much a missile defence system would be able to cope with.
This can lead to exhaustion of the enemy’s weapon supplies, making it easier to destroy it.
In the simulation, a ballistic missile was launched against an enemy which had a missile defence system.
