Rare Photos of North Korea

Putting this down right now. NK is going to launch a missile (test or live), US is going to shoot it down. NK is going to get all butt hurt and drop thousands of artillery shells on Seoul. Off to war we go.

Isn't our success rate at shooting crap down pretty low?  Like under 40%?

That's what they want others to think. We are a little better at knocking those things out of the sky.

Well hopefully we've made some strides since the whole Patiot missle/First Gulf War mess.  Although admittedly ICBM's are a lot different than SCUD's.

People seem to forget that the patriot missile system was adapted in its anti ballistic missile role. It was a very good anti air system

Hit rate on SCUD's sucked.

LOL at you thinking N Korea has ICBMs.

Don't they exit and re-enter the atmosphere?

Should I start making a bomb shelter?

When I think ICBM, I think of it exiting atmosphere and re-entering.  Not necessarily travelling across a huge ocean.

When I think ICBM I think of:
Inter
Continental
Ballistic
Missile

[chum1]

I read their range is 1500 miles, which excludes Hawaii and Guam.

Ok, where is the divergence?

Ok, where is the divergence?

Re-read for comprehension.

Here is a helpful hint:

Testifying before a parliamentary hearing, Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin of South Korea said the missile North Korea had moved to the east coast, possibly “for demonstration or for training,” appeared not to be a KN-08, which analysts say is the closest thing North Korea has to an intercontinental ballistic missile, though its exact range is not known. The new missile was unveiled during a military parade in the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, last April.

South Korean media quoted unnamed military sources as saying that the missile was a Musudan. Deployed around 2007, the Musudan is a ballistic missile with a range of more than 1,900 miles, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry. Guam is nearly 2,200 miles from North Korea.

Ballistic indicates exiting atmosphere?

i don't know how far NK is from Japan, but it would be pretty boss if they talked crap on the USA and then surprised the crap out of Japan.  Maybe Dennis Rodman and his BFF enjoyed the Ben Affleck Pearl Harbor movie.

The rocket they used to put the piece of junk into orbit could reach the US. Could it carry a nuke, no.

[Emo EMAW]

If they fired this missle across the Straight of Gibraltar, would that not be intercontinental?  That's only like 10 miles.

[Kat Kid]

Look.  There are ranges associated with the classification.  ICBM is a pretty high bar.  Not every nuclear country has this capability.  So you could play 20 questions or you could just look this readily available information up on your own.  Your call.

I am not a rocket scientist, but I don't think that just because something is multi-stage and can reach space means that it is really capable of doing what an ICBM does.

Other than the whole titletown thing, it's a pretty good time to live in Manhattan, KS in case everyone starts firing missiles at each other.

Looked it up, an ICBM is classified as a missile with a range of 5500 KM. the failed launch of NK's ICBM traveled over 3000 KM on two of its 3 stages. This rocket was successful in all three stages this year.

There are some great NK documentaries on netflix

Names, give us names 

The one by Nat Geo is really good.
