CNN: North Korea's missile test fails, US military says
(CNN)North Korea on Saturday launched a ballistic missile that blew up over land, a spokesman for the US Pacific Command said.
The missile didn't leave North Korean territory, US Navy Cmdr. Dave Benham said.
A US military assessment found the main part of the missile landed approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles) from Pukchang airfield, a US official told CNN.
South Korean officials said the test likely was a failure.

It's still normal. Also. ..the engineers musst be having sweaty hands :) could be a laser though, electronic jammer, hacked, inside job, on purpose etc we won't know for decades
ReplyDeleteSeriously he must be running out of scientists with all these positions vacant.
DeleteWell...either hard labour camp (=slow, gruesome death), or get paid, get chicks and work in the lab (=eventually sudden surprise death)...hmmmm so many choices. ..
DeleteWhat is not being addressed and should be is that if this was a successful sabotage; what does it say about the ICBM arsenals of the world? Are they reliable? How would you know if yours is reliable? If they are vulnerable to in flight destruction by sabotage, then why isn't the ultimate destination target also not vulnerable to change? Is the sabotage in house or at a distance? Certain answers to any of these questions could mean that at a stroke the world's entire set of nukes are useless or worse.
ReplyDeleteYou know that in N Korea they are probably counting the screws (with very sweaty hands) in their nuke box to see what happened.
Since the "Dark Ages", we have seen in the military (and society as a whole) evolve a more centralized C and C. This has been greatly aided by electronics and data management. Now we may have reached that point where maybe we must go the other direction (decentralization) for the very same reasons.
