FILE - This May 4, 2019, file photo provided by the North Korean government shows a launch of a missile in the east coast of North Korea. Experts say North Korea’s latest launches suggest it may have acquired or cloned a short-range missile the Russian military has long earmarked for export.
The missiles were short-range and the launches do not mean Kim has decided to end his self-imposed moratorium on testing long-range missiles that could reach the United States mainland. They do indicate, however, that Kim is methodically expanding the battle readiness of his missile forces and that could have a major impact on the safety of American allies and U.S. forces in the region.
He added that short of actually procuring the missiles from Russia, the North could have had key parts delivered from somewhere else, perhaps not directly from Russia, while making components such as the outer shell, or airframe, domestically.It’s designed to fly at a flattened-out altitude of around 40 kilometers and to make in-flight guidance adjustments. Both capabilities exploit weaknesses in the U.S.
The North first displayed a mock-up of an Iskander-like missile at a military parade in 2018. This week’s launches mark its first known flight tests.
EricTalmadge They just designed it similar. It is actually very different. This thing is tapered throughout its length. Russia missiles were only tapered at the nose only.
LovToRideMyTrek EricTalmadge Bares not bears....damn, & you expect people to believe THIS is factually correct?
EricTalmadge Just one more way class Vlad's playing Donnie. presidentialfool
EricTalmadge No! It’s almost as if Russia is aiding any country that wants to kick the US in the shin. Who would have thunk it? I am truly perturbed.
EricTalmadge Missile bears? Holy shit!!
EricTalmadge What a surprise anti-Russian hate from AP!
EricTalmadge What is the problem with that?

EricTalmadge Alarming writing. From the article, it cannot be understood you heard the 'other side' when producing this article. Why?
EricTalmadge No way. How’d that happen?
EricTalmadge Well duh. Did you honestly think they built it themselves? Where do you think most of their armaments have come from experts?
EricTalmadge I hope so. I would hate for DPRK to have poor quality weapons with which to defend itself. The US, of course, feels insecure about this, having a military budget merely 8x greater than the next 5 countries. It needs DPRK defenseless so as not to lose its war erection.
EricTalmadge Putin being Putin 🤷♂️🤣
EricTalmadge Except it looks a little shorter.

EricTalmadge nuke them and Russia, then we can have a lovely nuclear winter and stop global warming at the same time.
EricTalmadge Those Russian missiles were copied and ripped off by the Chinese, as they always do, and the Chinese are probably selling it to North Korea or selling blueprints to North Korea.
EricTalmadge Whaaaaaat? Didn't read
