Rocket Man must be envious of all the attention Vlad's getting.

Oh come on now! Sure the North Koreans are 50 years behind the Russians in technology, with less population and barely anyone has had two full meals in as many days, but a little emaciation never hurt anyone!

So, apparently Best Korea managed to launch a fat one.

No, not Kim.

I don't recall if DPRK has silos for their ICBMs, but considering their program is fairly young (all things considered) it wouldn't be that bif og a surprise.

But, that aside, the size of that thing makes it, somewhat, ill-fitted to be launched from a TLER... I mean, the thing has around twice the diameter of a Topol M and 4m taller (having had the chance to see a few from close, them Topol-M are beefy boys). And once erect, it is just standing on a (rather small) platform, which thus becomes its only retention for stability.

Hopefully the ground is very even and wind blows in Best Korea. Would suck to have the whole thing tip over...

North Korean missile blows up shortly after test launch, South says Updated on: March 16, 2022 / 5:26 AM / AP Seoul, South Korea — A North Korean missile fired from its capital region exploded soon after liftoff in an apparent failed weapons launch on Wednesday, South Korea's military said, amid speculation that the North is preparing to launch its longest-range missile in its most significant provocation in years. Details of the missile explosion weren't immediately known. But the launch, the 10th of its kind this year, shows North Korea is determined to press ahead in its push to modernize its weapons arsenal and pressure its rivals into making concessions amid dormant denuclearization talks. The North Korean missile blew up while it was flying at an altitude of less than 12.4 miles, said a South Korean military official requesting anonymity because he wasn't publicly authorized to speak to media on the issue. He said the cause of the explosion wasn't known.

Chinese UN envoy criticized US admin for no dialogue with N Korea. Blaming Biden's usual reversal of Trump foreign policy. Along with his approval for the Nordsteam pipe, fast Afghan exit, Iran nuclear deal with Russia as his mediator. The Obama prophesy is true...Never underestimate Joe's ability to F*** everything up.
