I was talking about North Korea And yeah, that's why Japans defense force is ranked in the top ten militaries of the world, despite not technically being a military NK missile tech is very clearly a bastardization of whatever they are given access to. It lacks any of the sophistication of Chinese, American, or Russian systems. It has no indication of any maneuverability of the re-entry vehicle. In the case of the hwasong-14, they clearly took a r-27--a 50-year old soviet rocket motor--and doubled the length. that's it. it is the classic example of the kind of 'easy' threat GMD is designed to be able to handle. GMD isn't going to shoot down a russian bulava ever but when development finishes and it is deployed it will absolutely be able to shoot down a hwasong-14. if it can't, the GMD program would be a total failure. only reason we can't intercept now is GMD is not a finished program. development is ongoing. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. <cite>Darkman124 posted [p:884611394] in AP Twitter...
