Korean, Iraqi and Iranian Missile Capabilities

[The_Rorschach]

IDDS Working Paper 3 contained information relating to the Missile Programs of North Korea, Iraq, and Iran . . .Reach, yeild, class and count, so on and so forth. Interesting site to spend a day at. There are entirely too many graphics for me to print the article faithfully, so I'm merely linking.

Of course this whole premise assumes that missiles can ONLY be launched from their home territory and not launched from other sites, or even a ship off of the coast of the continental US.

It also assumes, in attacking the US missile defense concept that these three countries are the ONLY countries likely to launch missile attacks against the US…and finally, there is an assumption that a nuclear attack must be launched with missiles.

there is an assumption that a nuclear attack must be launched with missiles.

The Australian government makes the same 'assumption', and I guess the US is the same. DPRK's ICBM capability is what we are all supposed to be worried about. I thought suitcase bombs, 'dirty bombs' and the like would be a real player in the propoganda scene in todays "terrorism age". They featured heavily for a year or so, but now they have fallen off the radar, and I don't know why.

Obviously because customs and airport security is so secure that nobody could possibly get into the united states with a suitcase bomb.
