Those hats are outrageous large for their heads.

Obivously an intentional propaganda "leak". I seriously doubt they can actually hit any of those targets.
god damnit scout1 don't rate me dumb, if you know how missile ranges work then please elaborate because i am genuinely interested

Watch. We're all making fun of them now, but all us Americans are going to wake up one morning to our homes being blown up. And then we'll turn the tv off and keep laughing at them.

The precise derived data actually maintains a perfect circle to simulate a "worse case scenario" if one of their TBMs were to be launched. If all derived TBM data were to be put on a map it would look a lot like the shape of a sunny side up egg.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;40091331]god damnit scout1 don't rate me dumb, if you know how missile ranges work then please elaborate because i am genuinely interested[/QUOTE] The rotation of the earth is completely irrelevant when the launcher and target are on the earth At the time of launch let's say the earth is rotating westward at whatever arbitrary speed. So is the target. And so is the missile. It has to expend energy to "speed up" and travel to the target. The same thing would happen if the Earth was completely static and neither the target nor the launcher are moving.
To honest the only thing I fear from North Korea is they fuck up and nuke Canada because knowing their missiles it's liable to happen
[QUOTE=spazthemax;40091755]To honest the only thing I fear from North Korea is they fuck up and nuke Canada because knowing their missiles it's liable to happen[/QUOTE] You think they're going to miss the united states and somehow hit a populated Canadian city? So they miss one target and hit another (relatively) small target a ways away from the original target?
Why are they aiming for [I]HAWAII[/I]?! [editline]30th March 2013[/editline] Don't you [B][I]DARE [/I][/B]blow up Stitch! People are honestly rating this dumb...? Do you not realize it was a joke or something...?
someone please make a propogandic video on how everyone destroys NK

Oh great they have the ability to hit us though nobody really gives a fuck about NT because its just practically nothing
Homefront 2 viral marketing

Blatant exhibition or otherwise, I really hope you guys have your missile defense in order :(

Yes, the rocket has "momentum" to fly westwards, but the westwards target is sorta "running away" from it, the eastwards one "getting closer" to it. It evens out. Launching to west or east only depends when you want to establish an orbit which will be independent on the surface.

The Coriolis effect is NOT negligable when calculating the trajectory of a ballistic missle. Try opening a physics textbook sometime.

Ummm, I doubt that HALO divers or even that one Red Bull dude that jumped from space would have to worry about the fact that the target is zipping away underneath them.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;40092540]Coriolis effect affects how would it act going northwards and southwards, tho.[/QUOTE] He said that the rotation of the Earth was irrelevant, which isnt true. And technically it effects anything not going perfectly east or west soo
