   Depends upon how many KKVs you have. "Buckshot" scattered KKVs covering tens   
   of thousands of km can take very little mass and energy to deploy, but they   
   will do the job, and there is no way of evading all of them.

   No one is assuming that it is easy.

   And tracking how much it has deviated in course over a couple years gives a   
   fairly reliable stadnard of deviation of how much allowance has to be taken   
   into account.

   As I said, no one said it would be easy. OTOH, having a few well place   
   agents...

   Time and patience. Take a big ball of rock. Dig a deep hole, with many smaller   
   holes branching out. Fill those holes with attack resources. Give that big   
   rock a slight nudge. A few years later, start activating your systems, and get   
   ready to let fly.
