Why North Korea's
Latest Missile Test Was Humiliating Blow to US Missile Defense
Theodore Postol, a scientist from MIT, has been a critic for
years of American anti-missile technology.
He has said many times that America's anti-missile
technology simply cannot do what it is supposed to do.
The technology simply does not exist to stop an ICBM
warhead, much less a group of warheads and accompanied by decoys. And an IRBM
or airborne cruise missile leaves even less response time.
Virtually all of the American tests are contrived, none of
them reflecting real-war conditions.
