He also pointed out that the Israelis tend to use a non-explosive missile or a missile carrying a small explosive to deliver the roof knock, as opposed to the US military's use of a Hellfire missile.
|
|
Tuesday's test came as the US has ramped up other missile defense efforts, including the deployment of the THAAD missile defense system to South Korea which is designed to counter short, medium and intermediate range missile threats.
|
|
The Burevestnik missile, in turn, fits into this pattern, since it can achieve a global reach thanks to its nuclear-powered turbine and, because it is a cruise missile, can evade missile defenses by maneuvering in flight.
|
|
The red flag for O'Reilly and other missile experts is that the North Koreans keep shooting the missile almost straight up, and not in the parabolic arc of a standard missile trajectory, which is harder to achieve.
