re: North Korea might use EMP strike on USA

Even if true, they'd still need a delivery system and nothing of consequential size would ever make it through to US soil.

As long as we take all of their missile test attempts seriously we'd be fine. Which I assume we are.

I don't see how we wouldn't have a BMD destroyer with SM-3 missiles in the Sea of Japan. They are constantly in the Mediterranean.

They can easily knock anything out of the sky before it enters the midcourse phase or suborbital flight. It gets tricky after that but is still possible.

I haven't seen anything showing NK has that long range BM capability yet though.


Edit:

didn't actually read article, says using satellites already in orbit.

In that case we could shoot them down if we knew, if we didn't then I guess it could work if we left them alone. That's some serious tech for a country struggling in medium range BM tests though
