FAILURE TO LAUNCH May Have Been Because of American Hacking

or it could have been because the missiles were toys-

Telegraph-

North Korean missile launch that failed shortly after it was fired may have been thwarted by cyber attacks from the US.

The medium-range missile exploded seconds after it was launched on Sunday from a site near the port city of Sinpo, as Mike Pence, the US vice president, arrived in Seoul for talks with the South Korean government over how to deal with Pyongyang’s belligerence.

“It could have failed because the system is not competent enough to make it work, but there is a very strong belief that the US – through cyber methods – has been successful on several occasions in interrupting these sorts of tests and making them fail,” the former Conservative foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind told the BBC on Sunday.

  1. Noticed sum ting wong with those missles on parade, too. They look like movie props, “fake, fake fake, fake”. What’s even more hilarious is that the left are afraid of the NoKo saber rattling.

  2. The slanted nose cones on the boost phase rocket motors are designed to depart the main body after exhausted. Thats why they’re not symmetrical as is the Russian SA-4 boost motors.

  3. Fake missiles in a fake country?
    Their diceator … oops … dictator is real, though … just as ours was.

    Unlike NOKO, we got rid of ours just before terminal stupidity set in.
    “Missed us by THIS much!”

    izlamo delenda est …

  4. This unsupported speculation that the US “may” have been behind the missile failure is the kind of bullshit that could get us into a war. Col. Hunt made the point that when the shooting starts, we have 6 minutes to knock out everything before the NORKS flatten Seoul. We may be good, but not quite THAT good.
