RT @Marco_Langbroek: Approximate trajectory flown by the #ICBM that #NorthKorea tested today. A highly lofted trajectory.
(reconstruction based on Japanese DoD info).

When launched on a 'normal', non-lofted trajectory, the range would be 18000+ km, i.e. capable of reaching any place on Earth https://twitter.com/Marco_Langbroek/status/1626945720967208961/photo/1

RT @Dr_M_Davis: Agree with @ColbyBadhwar's thoughts here... suggesting that North Korean involvement in the war in Ukraine 'is a sign of Russia weakness' is the wrong lesson to learn. What the US should be recognising is the increasing willingness of the axis of authoritarian states - #Russia, #China, #NorthKorea and #Iran to confront western democracies and challenge us militarily. It also demonstrates a failure of - or complete absence of - western deterrence in the face of growing threats that are backed up by #nuclear saber rattling.

This is not an act of weakness or desperation by #Putin. It is a threat https://twitter.com/ColbyBadhwar/status/1850988390788763819#m
