all nuclear missiles are limited to 8 war heads by treaty. (although i think this has been reduced to just 4 now)
Also 8 is more than enough to wipe out most places, heck 1 warhead and is dozens of times more powerful than Hiroshima remember though each submarine carries 16 missiles. (128 warheads total but they don't operate at full capacity as some missiles only have 1 warhead others more for flexibility)
Also trident is the missile not the warhead. (and it;s the same one America uses too)
you still need to guard and arm bases though, or do you expect them to build and set up a new airport or port every week?
The Maginot line proved itself to be effective, it forced the Germans to attack else where. If the Maginot line had been built right to the sea as was intended, the German war in the west may have been a failure. The western war was a failure of the west to adopt to mechanized warfare.
The Maginot line was not effective at all, are you completely insane?

You protect bases by taking the area surrounding it, etc etc.
You dont know what you are talking about tefal.
How will they know the difference between thieves and hill walkers?
Also they can't shoot straight down so just have to kill anyone who gets in a certain range?
Not to mention you may have trouble in the next election after your automated turrets mow down a bunch of civilians.
Because the news don't always give the correct facts or much of them, I highly doubt it has it's own capability to friend/foe identify, let alone shoot by itself. Unless it's wartime or strictly enforced that life fire automated weapons will show no mercy in "x area"
Just like UAVs, manned hardware or ground forces, you generally need clearance to shoot unless certain parameters are met, like being shot at yourself.
I can't see it ever shooting a civilian, these will no doubt be manned 24/7 or at least to the capacity that if it detects anything, someone, somewhere will be notified and ready to issue the right commands.

As for not being able to shoot downwards, I imagine if you tried to get close enough you wouldn't be given the chance to try!![]()
I can foresee a day when we have these on our borders protecting us.
Wow a gun, welcome to 1500. When we have trident missiles that can destroy entire cities on the other side of the globe, and artillery that can blow up ships many kilometres away it's hardly revolutionary.
Very impressive. We should get some, help keep out all the god damn forei...![]()
Put them at passport control as well?![]()
