If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like to be on the receiving end of an ICBM-launched weapon… kinda like this:
Note that you could, from a sufficient distance, visually track the incoming warheads. They don’t look like phaser beams coming in, but they do glow fiercely from aerothermal heating. At least a few of the warheads apparently got *real* close to the intended target. Given that live warheads would have had yields measuring several hundred kilotons, that’s pretty much good enough for most purposes.
