North Korea ICBM Launch & Aftermath....
Going to need to do more than that....North Korea knows we have the B-1B bomber and they still went ahead with that 2nd ICBM launch.
Heading out from #Japan
US Air Force
KC10 83-0076 ORCA70
US Air Force
KC10 83-0076 ORCA70
Today in Trump policy on North Korea is a statement from the president:
Fwiw , this is a separate tweet , with additional detail concerning B-B bombers on the move from Andersen AFB to Korean Peninsula.
Note the key word "unconfirmed" , but certainly something we should carefully keep our eyes infer further developments.
In a few hours USAF bombers (B-1B) will make the flight from Andersen AFB towards Korean peninsula.
North Korea has learned not just from Gaddafi's fate in Libya-but also Saddam's in Iraq. They will never stop their program voluntarily.
Exact distance of 998 km provided by #NorthKorea and Hokkaido Prefecture of #Japan. Red line is camera direction.
So not quite the same #NorthKorea Hwasong-14 ICBM configuration we saw on the first test hence not the same performance
Geolocation of 2nd test of #NorthKorea Hwasong-14 ICBM observation point.
40.6221147, 126.421161
Launch location - 40.611208°, 126.425743°
KCNA's numbers aren't too far off:
