    > …its most powerful Hyunmoo-5 ballistic missile, which observers say is capable of carrying an 8-ton conventional warhead that can penetrate deep into the earth and destroy underground bunkers in North Korea.

    A metric ton of TNT releases 4.184 gigajoules of energy (10^9).

    For comparison, a 1 kiloton warhead releases 4.184 terajoules (10^12).

    (e: 8-ton conventional warhead is roughly the explosive yield of 16 Tomahawk missiles, at 500 kg each.)

  2. And to think that NK has been researching anti-ocean weapons all this time!

    I know the title probably references the destructive capability of the warhead.
    But I still find it funny to imagine a missile that can stop mid-air with a Tom and Jerry screech to open a hatch and then navigate through those tunnels.

    Pic reminds me of the underground insects from the movie Tremors… Lond, think utterly cringe

    I would think the bigger the missile the easier it would be to shoot out of the sky. Is this incorrect?

    Kim should be stripped naked and paraded around the streets. I wonder if the citizens would come to his aid? They are definitely brainwashed enough. Poor souls, I hope one day they can…somehow find peace. I’m not sure how at this point besides freeing them completely
