Show Notes
For decades, missile defense relied on the simple laws of physics: once a missile is launched, its path is a predictable arc. But the advent of Maneuverable Re-entry Vehicles (MaRVs) has shattered that certainty, introducing "jinking" maneuvers and onboard guidance that can evade even the most sophisticated interceptors. This episode explores the engineering of these high-speed vehicles and the geopolitical impact of a world where the shield can no longer stop the sword.
