Nevertheless, HollyB, even though the (new) Hwasong-15, which it seems they are trying to ready for MIRV capability, can hardly be considered operational after a single test flight, it is a real missile. Bearing GMDâÂÂs limitations in mind, if it were to become operational and be rigorously tested a relatively small number of Hwasong-15s with suitable warheads would represent a credible threat to you, and particularly to me (here in Asia). These are from multiple sources throughout the region. Japanese intelligence on this score is quite fine in my book. Australians have also been watching closely. What’s your take?
AIT, I’m just commenting from a political standpoint. I have no experience in their capabilities. As always, I trust your expertise in the region. And btw, I’m glad you’re here. I spoke up for you after that incident.
