[quote:Anonymous Coward 33985461:MV8yMTg4NzA0XzM3MDQ3MzUzXzU1NkRGQTBC] [quote:S7 1006073:MV8yMTg4NzA0X0Q4ODc1MzdD] I was googling the KN-08 missile which is said to be a ICBM but! Most websites I found placed big doubts about the authenticity of this missile and whether it truly is a ICBM. The best argument i found was: "If real, the KN-08 could be quickly launched from anywhere, easily carrying a heavier satellite into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) than the Unha-2/-3. Therefore, the question arises why the North Koreans would spend so much effort on the Taepodong 2/Unha program, using outdated technology, when they already have a far superior rocket up their sleeves" Source:http://lewis.armscontrolwonk.com/files/2012/05/Addendum_KN-08_Analysis_Schiller_Schmucker.pdf So am I missing something? Or is there really a ICBM? If so can someone post sone good info about it? [/quote] They might. They might not. We won't know until they launch it. (that was a clue) [/quote]
