The Problem With Slow and Low Weapons
Any slow and low weapon, once you know about it, kind of loses its power. The thing is, detectability is the key issue here. And with the technology you had 50 years ago, it was much easier the former than the later. Right now, with the kind of precision that we have, and particularly the kind of space system that we have to see everything happens inside our atmosphere from every angle, the temptation is that to try to use overwhelmingly system that could detect anything wrong that is happening and destroying it. But this simply invites the opponent to miniaturize, to hide stuff, to make everything even more low altitude, slow motion and everything.
