    Who's to say? I would assume they would have to test such an intercontinental missile this giving the United States the opportunity to blow it from space if they can get it that far. I am also aware these nuclear materials used in their missiles and bombs have a shelf life. And an intercontinental missile they'd have to test and improve on. They've also a starving population that us just as likely to erupt of he's working on telemetry rather than tacos.

    And cannot get a missile to travel over the horizon either.

    Harder than it looks.
    There is also the question of miniaturizing a nuclear warhead and hardening it to survive a launch and reentry on top of an ICBM.

    To someone who believes a Stinger missile is a sophisticated weapons system, sure.

    Just to give Pickle an idea of what we're talking about, Privates obviously not privy to such information. North Korea recently tested 2 short range missiles. In response.....the US torched off an unarmed Trident II.....from the USS Rhode Island....the Rhode Island is an Ohio class submarine...that was submerged off the coast of Cape Canaveral...that's off the Florida Coast for you Privates......that missile traveled not 11 miles.....rather 7000+.

    We could have as many Tridents as we want.....parade em around.....they're useless without telemetry or the micro-warheads Pete refers to.

    Does that help, Pickle?

    And that is the hard part not a easy task and the guidance system is hard . the missile its self is the easy part

    Florida has a lot of military sea ports along with Virginia and thr trident on a ohio class sub can hit anywhere in the world it wants and is close to unstoppable
