#3 test a new short-range ballistic missile ~~developed~~ cobbled together by the three countries

Figuring on the engineering expertise exhibited by these three, this seemed to be a fairer rendering of an explanation.

#4 would've been interesting if it made it to Turkey and killed civilians. Would they have blamed the PKK? Marsh gas? Jooos?
