The only missiles the Norks can manage to keep around are the non-’splody ones.

Maybe if you hit them with a stick, cheap candy would fall out...

Reminds me of the old Soviet May Day parades. The huge missiles would parade through Red Square, one after the other...after the other...after the other...in a seemingly unending chain. Later the public learned that “all these missiles” were really only a few that, once they passed in review, would be scurried around out of sight to rejoin the line and come passed Kruschev et al again. This is what led to the Democrat lie of “The Missile Gap.”
TPTB at the time for whatever reason, be it not wanting the Soviets to know we were on to them, not wanting to divulge our true capabilities or whatever, let this lie stand for several years.
IMO, without the “Missile Gap” lie, Kennedy would never have been elected.

Nah. They were just “concept missiles”. Just like all those phony cars Detroit never really intends to make, and couldn’t if they wanted to.

They flew their bombers around the “block” for the Soviet air reviews as well.

My next favorite story was when Russian planes started competing on the open world markets for foreign military sales with the rest of the world. The demo bird was decked out with Russia’s latest in air to air missile technology. Turns out that plane had all of that type of missile on it’s launchers. Those were the only 4 of those missiles in their inventory. There were no more.

It’s easy to tell the fake ones from the real ones: the fake ones don’t explode as biggly as the real ones.
