Uh, no, you just have to send something that can at least fly. The ASH is just not a good match for Freedom regardless of whether Kira is invincible.

Nevertheless, my point still stands: Durandal planned ahead to deal with both Kira and Lacus and it's certainly plausible that he designed the Impulse to destroy the Freedom if it had to become a public matter.

Is it plausible for Durandal to factor in all of things that would have to happen for the Impulse and Freedom to have the confrontation they did?
I mean, what if they meet in a battle where Freedom was not trying to retreat? Or what if they meet after Lacus was killed, where it's conceivable that Kira would be less likely to not kill? Is Durandal going to design a mobile suit just to counter one possible Kira?
Besides, it's not like the Impulse's design is the only way to defeat the Freedom.
So even if it's plausible, it's still more likely that the Impulse's design is exactly what Durandal said it was: inspired from the Strike (but taken to the next level, of course).
