| South Korea mulls own ballistic missiles test after North’s launch | ||
| 2017-02-15 | ||
South Korea is mulling staging own ballistic missile test after the North has recently fired what it said was a nuclear-capable missile, a military source told the local news agency Yonhap. "In response to North Korea's missile launch Sunday, we are reviewing measures to discard security concerns and show our determination to retaliate against any aggression by the North," a defense ministry official said. The South Korean Defense Ministry official told the agency they were considering live-firing a Hyunmoo-2A missile with a range of 186 miles or a Hyunmoo-2B missile, which can travel for more than 300 miles, and publish photos or videos of the test.
North Korea said earlier in the day the Sunday launch of its Pukguksong-2 missile was a success. It was fired from an airbase in the western province of North Pyongan and travelled around 300 miles before plunging into the Sea of Japan. | ||

| #1 ...There has been an assumption for some time that the Japanese - practical souls that they are - are a 'breakout power', i.e.; they have various components scattered about (they definitely have the boosters) and in about four to six months from giving the word, they get up one morning and say, "Oh, by the way, we've got about a dozen ICBMs, and they're aimed at Pyongyang...and other places." The fun thing to do there would be to quietly let the Chinese know that everything gets reduced back to components the minute Fat Boy goes away. I suspect that might happen right quick at that point.
