It wouldn't dare while I'm here.

Military affiliate here. Depending on make-up of the Reaper exoskeleton, an atmospheric nuclear detonation would be a viable option, provided we can deliver the payload to the target successfully. More than likely we would not, especially if the Reaper has begun indoctrination and conversion procedures, as well as have the support of Occuli. There is also no telling how the Reaper could affect our equipment. We know they can block communications, but could they discharge a form of EMP (such as the husks in the original game were able to).

All in all, we don't have the technology to overcome a Reaper. I also believe that leadership will focus too much on a large, traditional assault to put on a show and restore confidence to provide the early victory we would need.

By lore, kinetic barriers only block incoming projectiles of great speeds. Therefore, to destroy the reaper all it would require is that someone get close enough to plant a Nuclear bomb of sufficent strength.

Like a nuclear mine.

that wouldn't even scratch it . The thing brushes of the equivalent of taking all the power in a standard tactical nuclear warhead , transfer it to kinetic power (which is a lot more efficient) and use it to drive a nail through a plank.  oh, and it does this WITHOUT kinetic barriers.

I call suicide Spec Ops squad that places the bomb at the center of the Reaper!

To be fair, I know my way around a gun. And a plane.

Imagine if a tactical nuke went of 2 km from a M1A1 abrahams MBT. The tank would survive the heat and pressure just fine. Another tank on the other hand could at the same distance take it out with an APFSDS kinetic penetrator despite the fact that the nuke had 30 kilotons equivalent of TNT and the shell had about a few kilos worth of explosives behind it. Now give the shell the same energy as the nuke. its penetrative power is roughly a million times more effective than the tsar bomba, the most devestating human nuke ever made of about 50 megaton.

THE REAPER STILL BRUSHES IT OF LIKE NOTHING EVEN WITHOUT ITS BARRIERS!

have caboose talk to it.

Wait, what?

Why would you detonate the nuke 2 kilometers away from the Reaper?

A nuke within a hundred feet or so would devastate a Reaper.

Unless the Reapers have some way to determine, on the spot, which are decoys and which are actually delivery vehicles (warheads), a MIRV strike from a small scale launch involving a few ICBMs should do the job. At least one or two should get down to the necessary altitude for an effective air burst.

Another option would be a cruise missile, such as the RGM/UGM-109E TLAM Block IV, AGM-86, or the AGM-129. These low flying delievery systems are hard to detect and hard to defend against, especially if used in numbers. How well they would fare against a Reaper is the question (depending on if the Reaper in question has any kind of support).

Direct hits from nuclear weapons are only necessary if we are talking about hitting a Reaper in a vacuum, such as in orbit. An air burst should be enough to kill or cripple it.

A Dreadnought spinal mass driver delievers a round at 1.2 KT payload. And SRAM-II has a 300 KT payload, a B-1B Lancer can carry 36 of them. We have 100 Lancers, that's a mass barrage of 3,600 seperate warheads with a combined explosive power of 1.8 Gigatons (1,080 Megatons, 1,080,000 Kilotons). A Reaper wouldn't be even remotely capable of withstanding such an assault even if we let it shoot down 99% of the incoming SRAM-IIs.

Too many people today can't wrap their head around how powerful actual modern militaries are, how well trained they are and how ready they are. I blame videogames and movies for projecting this false picture of impotency and ineptitude that borders on staggeringly insane.

WE FIGHT OR WE DIE

Meanwhile on the reaper ship

*they face extinction, and their last collective words as a race were "we fight or we die?" lolololol

[Dragoonlordz]

It would stop at a drive through McDonalds pick up a large mac and coke. Intercept our TV channels and watch Jerry Springer after which would leave in order to preserve it's sanity. As to what I would do, I would wave to him from my position of the pole on Springers stage.

It would shoot it out of the air. Hell, it's barriers would probably brush it off.

I was just gonna mention this, people underestimate the power of nuclear weapons, even compared to fancy-pants future weapons. It's just that they're so unwieldy. But one reaper wouldn't stand a chance against the stockpile of even one major nation

Reapers are fast though. Watch that sucker fly off from Eden Prime for example.

Judging from your username, I figured you would do the awesome thing and tackle the Reaper in one of these:

I don't think that was his point.

I'd just fire a curise missle up its ass and guide by remote control.
