Based on the trajectory used, and the hang time, NOKO could have reached
just short of NYC.
Reports say that North Korea again launched its missile on a very highly lofted trajectory, which allowed the missile to fall in the Sea of Japan rather than overflying Japan. It appears the ground range of the test was around 1,000 km (600 miles), which put it in or close to Japanese territorial waters. Reports also say the maximum altitude of the launch was 3,700 km (2,300 miles) with a flight time of about 47 minutes.
If those numbers are correct, the missile flown on a standard trajectory the missile would have a range 10,400 km (6,500 miles), not taking into account the Earth’s rotation.
ht. all too much
I’m good with either city or both!
Chicago’s been a nuclear free zone for years.
I would like to think that Ronald Reagan’s gift to America of a missile defense system would prevent a missile coming that far before it is intercepted.
Or we’ll have to live in a land of bad haircuts.
We can thank Bubba Clinton for this. This is what appeasement of evil regimes gets you……..see Iran in about 10 years. Then we can thank Obeezy.
EMP. That’s what concerns me…..
Don’t bother us with trifles while we’re being bombarded with fake news about a Trump/Russia collusion.
Think they could aim for Springfield? That’s where the trouble really comes from.
2300 miles high is a stretch… That’s 2051 miles higher than the international space station.
Vixen Lady,
Yes, if powerful
enough it would END your
car,home power,cell phone and internet
possibly forever… 97% will panic & die.
Any nation stupid enough to EMP another would likely be reduced to green glass and ash by another nation’s nuclear subs.
Any major city is fine with me. Hollywood would be great.
Here they are testing there delivery system

I’ve always wondered what molten granite and ramen would look like
What do they need to do to reach D.C.?
I live in Key West, will I be safe?
Everyone jump around in anger….then do nothing.
OK, outside of the few conservatives left in NY, which we care about dearly,…..what’s the problem??
Oh hey I’m in flyover country.
The list is a good list, that little yellow slope is doing Conservatives a favor.
An EMP would do a lot to straighten out the country. Let’s do it.
I grew up without tv or radio or the internet EMP?
It doesn’t stop me from reading.
My weapons would still work and I think I would really need them.
Exiting the atmosphere is much easier than getting back in. Putting it anywhere near where you want it is a real trick.
China is using its rabid pig to flush the US out of the China Seas and Sea of Japan. It wants control over the entirety of South Asia and eventually the Pacific. That means we have to leave.
When rabid pig can actually hold CONUS under threat, it will have effectively decoupled our defense compacts with Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. We will have to burn the fat pig’s toys with millions in ROK dead and billions more US debt and thousands of dead warriors. Or we will have to accede to rabid pig’s lunatic extortions to stop ICBM production which he will just continue anyway.
Trump will punish China’s economy first. Then he will blockade North Korea. Expect accelerated ChiCom interference in FONOPS and in it’s mainland EEZ airspace, then later throughout the Nine Dash Line. At some point it will down a plane or fire on one of our ships. Probably the same day its rabid pig actually successfully tests a real ICBM.
China is playing a horrifically bad stratagem. It is making a genocidal mistake.
It would not have the technology to do this nor the economy to support it without the Clintons and traitors within our own government.
Imagine being on a DDG and just doing a ABM patrol doing squares out in the ocean.
Same shit as a SSBN, but you got’s daylight.

SSBN patrols were the most boring part of my 23 years active.
Fat boy is going to decide to take on China just to show what big balls he has. He’s nuts enough to try to embarrass his protector.
Compare our concern for nuke weapons now with those in 1963. Are we like, “Okay dude, whatever” now?
@Txn4Evr, stop it, you’re being a jackass.
For God’s sake, “I agree with both cities”?
And WTF is with his 8 upvotes?
Los Angeles?
Chicago?
Denver?
Boston?
OK. Where’s the “down” side?
And catch your breath, Meerkat, it’s black humor.
izlamo delenda est …
In a related note, ammo, guns, and ancillary survival gear are at their cheapest in 8 years – ya gotta get ya some!
Chicago or LA, I prefer LA
