Reply to comment by alien_from_Europa in North Korea launches missile 'believed' to fly over Japan by electromagneticpost

It's north Korea.

A 12 year old with a paper plane on the coast of Japan can shoot their missiles down.

IDK if you realize this but that just isn't how it works. ICBMs travel several miles per second in the reentry phase and typically have multiple projectiles. The idea that you can just "shoot it down" is mostly a lie fed by overpaid defense contractors
