It is not clear if this could be applied to aircraft carriers, and the problem is more complex when considering the use of ballistic missiles against moving ship targets.

还不清楚这种说法是否适用于航空母舰。考虑到针对移动目标舰船的弹道导弹的使用，这一问题就更加复杂。

And if those missiles achieve the capability the U.S. would like to see for them, they would have some capability to shoot down Russian long-range ballistic missiles - that worries Russia.

假如上述导弹果真达到美国方面希望达到的作战能力的话，这些武器将有能力击落俄罗斯的远程弹道导弹；俄罗斯方面当然对此有顾虑。

And guess what? The proposed interceptor in Poland would have little, if any, capability to counter the existing threat from Iran's short - and medium-range ballistic missiles.

你知道吗，计划在波兰部署的拦截器几乎没有能力来对抗伊朗现有的短程和中程弹道导弹所构成的威胁。

Officials say Iran has made slower progress than expected in developing long-range ballistic missiles.

South Korea,Japan, and the United States say the launch will be a provocative attempt to advance North Korea's ability to deliver warheads, via ballistic missiles.

The highlights were several new missiles, including a ballistic missile that can carry a nuclear warhead and another one that has been nicknamed the "aircraft carrier killer."

Thus, the U.S. has sought to organize its nuclear forces so that no enemy can launch a disarming first strike, mainly by fielding three distinctly different types of weapons: manned bombers, land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles in hardened silos, and sea-based intercontinental ballistic missiles on stealthy Trident submarines.

Defense will continue to be outlawed against intercontinental ballistic missiles, while defense will be encouraged against their less capable cousins, theater ballistic missiles.

It appears that Putin hopes to engineer a "re-do" of the 1983 deployment of U.S. ground-launched cruise missiles and Pershing II ballistic missiles in five West European countries.
