Also, counter missiles? You needed 20.000 people to come up with that one?
I'm really wondering if using a counter missile at such a low altitude isn't in fact worse in the real world.

I mean a missile usually explodes meters before actually hitting the target to maximise the destruction power, that's for buildings, air targets, ground targets, and ships. For bunkers and underground facilities, the rule is different.

I don't know if tomahawks detonate their explosives when hit by a missile, but if they do in reality, it would be a catastrophy to use the strategy we've seen in that episode.

The 91 Irak war taught us that under a certain altitude, counter missile were in fact worsening the effects by adding their own explosion the the scud's...

What Saki and Akira experienced were only high speed debris from a tomahawk, good for them, they'd be dead if the explosives had ignited...
