Incoming, Joe ... NorKs display Guam-capable missile
2007-04-29
Be careful out there, Joe!
North Korea displayed a newly developed ballistic missile capable of reaching the US territory of Guam during a massive military parade this past week, a news report said Saturday. The parade in Pyongyang on Wednesday featured three new models, including the medium-range missile that can travel 2,500-4,000 kilometers, the Chosun Ilbo reported.

The report cited an unidentified South Korean government official familiar with an analysis of US satellite images. "All three (new) models are ground-to-ground missiles," the official was quoted as saying. "Of them, the medium-range ballistic missile is noteworthy as it ... has Guam in its range." The Pyongyang parade marked the 75th anniversary of the country's military, which dates back to Resistance™ movements against Japan's occupation.

#8  Ruh-roh. We just shipped out 200 boxes of Girl Scout cookies to our niece at the Navy hospital on Guam. I hope the cookies get there before the missiles do.

#5  I'm sure there's a PAC-3 unit on Guam already, but as someone said, hitting the island may be difficult even without protection. So what if you have a missile with a 4000km range if the CEP at the end of the flight path is 25km? With the NORK's luck, they'd launch it at Guam and wipe out some village in mainland China...

#4  Hmmm! Guam = Anderson AFB = PacAF = 13th AF = Buffer Bomb/Nav target practice = Norks deep fried. Yep, good idea Kimmie - send one down to Pacific flight range.

#3  Considering their track record so far, it can hit Guam assuming they launch it from...Guam.

#2  I'd say don't sweat the small stuff yet Joe. It may have the range capability, but this is like hitting a single pebble on a three mile beach for these buffoons.
