Is it indicative of some sort of progress, though, on behalf of NK? I mean personally I find it kinda unlikely that they'd ever go through with an attack in the first place, I'm guessing that the US has enough anti-ballistic stuff to wreck anything they shoot no?


maybe. it's also possible they bought it illegally from russia since it appears to be a modified R-27 design.

the US has a series of programs that would target this. if it's legitimate, it'd only be targetable by GMD. if it's closer to the R-27, it'd be targetable by the sea-based standard missile series by the time it was deployed

but as it's a mobile ground-based launch that requires a paved road to fire from and an hour of setup, realistically it would never get off the ground

they'd actually have better success launching it from a silo.
