The gingival bleeding index (

While the GMD [ground-based midcourse defense, which uses ground-based interceptor, or
GBI, missiles] system would be employed to defend the United States against limited missile launches from any source, it does not have the capacity to cope with large scale Russian or Chinese missile attacks, and is not intended to affect the strategic balance with those countries.
The MOKV could potentially be inserted into other types of interceptors besides
