N. Korean ICBMs fake
Interesting read
"The Dog And Pony Show: North Korea's New ICBM," Schiller, Markus & Schmucker, Robert H. (attached)On April 15, 2012, North Korea presented six road-mobile Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) at a parade in Pyongyang. At first glance, the missile seems capable of covering a range of perhaps 10,000 km. However, a closer look reveals that all of the presented missiles are mock-ups. Therefore, the situation has not changed: There is still no evidence that North Korea actually has a functional ICBM.IndianaDel likes this.

Were those the ones where the vehicle was bouncing high on its suspension, rather than weighed down as they should be?

An extremely paranoid outfit like that wouldn't take the risk of the south blitzing the parade ground and eliminating their ace card in a coup de main.
Just because they don't display 'em don't mean they ain't got 'em.
If it's been sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk then I'm probably pissed.We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.
In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

That's very true. But surely if you had them you'd mount the empty shell, than go through all the efforts of manufacturing shite mock-ups?

I wouldn't like to be the one to break the "good news" to Ronery Jr that you've been pulling the wool over his and his father's eyes for the last (insert years here).

Never underestimate the power of administrative dysfunction. They may think even showing off a deac or replica gives away too much about maximum range, payload, deployability, etc. Originally Posted by PrinceAlbert

What's the point of nuclear deterrence if the other side think your ICBMs are made of tin foil? Originally Posted by smartascarrots

There are lots of other ways of delivering nuclear weapons than this one type of missile. Keeping someone guessing about how badly you can hurt them is a good way of stopping them coming up with a win-win scenario.
