I’m hearing reports this one flew to an altitude of 3000 kilometers. Did the last one fly to 2000 kilometers?

Or was that miles?

Just curious if this indicates a longer potential radius for this missile.

I heard it flew 7 times higher than the Space Station so it could hit anywhere it was programed. Other poster mentioned shooting them down..I totally agree.

We’re all arguing about Scaramucci using bad language and McCain being 1 of maybe 10 senators that would have killed the healthcare bill, yet the Korean story is far more important and not garnering much attention in the media.

If shot vertically, (which this was not), the highest altitude reached is usually about 1/3 of the horizontal range the missile could reach if fired on a ballistic parabola.

This is not good.

The US military has used the Metric System for many decades.
