I'm pretty sure fissionable materials have to be triggered in a certain way and that just being in an explosion wouldn't detonate it. Either way, the DPRK isn't smart enough to think of an attack like that.
That North Korea can not build a ICBM is wrong, because the NK got all technology from Ukraine.There are article out, that experts are sure, that the rocket engine is made in Ukraine. And i know that North Korea bought a lot of Tanks and other stuff from the Ukraine.
Günther Lehmann also I believe there was a CIA assessment claiming that there Re-entry vehicles would of preformed adequately if actually flown towards actually u.s targets instead of them firing them straight up although there accuracy is still bad.

@Scrim killa Are they though? I'm sure they're in poverty and any dictatorship would suck but I think about things realistically.. not just whats supplemented in my mind from the news. They have tons of buildings and roads, which we'll focus on for now, which means toonnsss of engineers, construction workers, truck drivers, material suppliers, distributors, people in offices doing the paperwork, etc. They had the same population as S. Korea when it was split in half, which means millions and millions of people. It's impossible that they don't have a large middle class, wealthy people, and of course a whole lot of poor. They have plenty of bridges, dams, and other engineering feats that would be impossible if they were this 3rd world country you speak of. Just because their govt is secretive, doesn't mean they are doing as bad as you think. They are apparently stable, with millions to feed every day with modern plumbing (a feat in itself) to boot. Use your brain and think about things with a sense of realism. Besides their tortuous slave camps, where they house generation after generation of "traitors," escapees returned by China and political prisoners, they're doing fine. People like you grow up into politicians and underestimate people like the Koreans. That's how we let this nuclear mess go on for long :/ 😔

Mohammad Usman You need to see Jeff Quitney's channel with old NASA and USAF released material. This one is a good beginner's guide to solving the re-entry problem: ua-cam.com/video/6hb9be6Sg0U/v-deo.html
CS Noob nope you should be a little worried. If something goes wrong you are first to get hit because you're close. They could drop it by plane. You are out of luck buddy. Just kidding. Well you are protected with MAD (Mutual assured destruction). Or if Fat Kimy drops the first bomb then the total destruction of North Korea by USA and allies.
so long as you arent one of 10 million in Seoul, with an unknown amount of artillery cannons pointed that way, you should be relatively safe. At least from missiles. But i think everything will be okay, and just in case, learn about the nearest bomb shelter and the best routes to it. Im praying for the peace of the two Koreas
That would be the best snickers commercial ever. Kim eats a snickers and goes back to being ____ (insert someone nice/respectable here) Not sure who'd be funniest.
Two fun facts: normal GPS will stop working after a certain speed (Mach 2 I think?) to prevent its use in guided missiles. Similarly, there’s a restriction on the frame rate of thermal cameras to prevent their use in heat-seeking missiles.
+Richard Driskill why not? If we can launch a Nuke as fast and as far away at that, then why can't we launch a much more lightweight and faster Anti-Missile? Its not because its hard to achieve, its because its achievable to take down an ICBM. There already are active Anti-ICBM batteries on US or Europe
Great video! Just one correction. While the A-4 did use a measured fuel system, it was not the means of controlling range, it was found incapable of actually doing so, more importantly it also incorporated automatic fuel cutoff systems to prevent overburning and simply used fuel supplied as an estimate to cover requisite distance. The first systems used a wireless transmission system to send current velocity ground measured velocity to the rocket which would be checked and cutoff if it passed the measured threshold. Later on the I-Gerät 1/3 integrating accelerometers and I-Gerät 2 electrolytic integrative accelerometer were used to accomplish this Brenschluss.
Jon Umine I don't think this is that easy. Artilleries can be hidden, and it takes lot of firepower and airpower to destroy so many artilleries. I'd say 30-60 min of heavy pounding. By then, SK and US would have destroyed most artillery. But NK would be able to keep pounding for many more hours.
Aditya Patil add to that every artillery gun is probably pre - targeted for either Seoul or military bases on the DMZ, also even if those guns were only in operation for an hour (for the sake of arguement), they still have 8,600 assorted artillery guns most with a rate of fire of 5-6 rounds per minute. So doing the math thats roughly 2.5 million artillery shells that could be fired in that first hour, this is provided ammunition stores hold out, no mechanical breakdowns, crews dont take any breaks in that time and that all of their artillery pieces are active and located on the border That is a scary volume of firepower that could be unleashed
Jon Umine North Koreans have had 50 years to hide and protect their arty, a single bombing run wont destroy thousands of hidden, protected artillery. It could take days before the last artillery bunkers are destroyed.
I can't stop watching your videos. I have learned so much. I work in computers but never really knew how a transistor worked, I just knew that it did. keep up the good work.
Stupid video to begin with, it only came out a year ago. Top N. Koreans were probably long done celebrating successful rocket tests when this video was published
@@Dev-In-Denver123 US intelligence questions the capability of the missiles to survive reentry at steeper angles. Past tests have also shown severe deficiencies in reliability of their missile programs, specifically long range weapons. Their most reliable weapons uses a fairly flat trajectory which is much easier to intercept.
There is a good reason not to freak out too much if you are an American as the video shows. It is Japan and especially South Korea that is under greatest threat right now. But I hope calmer and more rational minds wins out.
Yeah. If they use them they lose all deterrent they have. I would not see it as a rational act. And while Kim may act irrationally it is likely just that, an act. I do think that if the war goes hot again that they might use nuclear weapons. But not until they feel really treated. Not some minor skirmish where there is not real treat to them.
Yes. But you do not beat irrational behavior by being irrational your self. That is just an old myth. Like the way to beat a chess expect is to make an irritational play. It may throw off a competent play but a master will just adapt and exploit the irrational move. You do not have anything to win by assuming that Kim is irrational. You should have a plan for that eventuality. Just like you should have plan for what happens if there is a coup in North Korea. But you can not try to make a preemptive strike that would likely just lead to a full-scale war. As the irrational move for Kim would not be go on full counter attack if that happened. A irrational person would also be likely to do rational move at times. The building of missile defenses shields is the actually one of these back up plans for it North Korea would act irrational.
South Korea is probably the least likely for a nuclear attack. The entire reason North Korea hasn't been crushed by every country it's pissed off is because they have a shitload of artillery pointed at their hostage, South Korea. If anyone were to go near North Korea, Seoul (South Korea's capital) would be blown to bits in a second.
There is a lot wrong here. 1: ICBMs use stellar navigation. Not satellite. 2: High accuracy only matters for counterforce targeting. For citybusting attacks the warhead only need land in an enemy metropolitan area. 3: Making a warhead small enough to fit on an ICBM is not a difficult task. Six tests in they have one for sure. 4: They have done and shown off heat shield testing. 5: The defensive system you showed was THAAD, which can not target incoming ICBMs. 6: The actual difficulty the DPRK program has ran into is making the missiles mobile. Building an ICBM is easy, its building and ICBM that you can launch in wartime that is difficult.
I have a theory as to how they could have potentially made a manned ICBM work in WW2.... if instead of ejecting from the ICBM upwards, could they not devise a mechanism to open up underneath the ICBM and slant his seat - essentially flipping it back to front prior to ejecting. Meaning he will be facing the rear of the missile upon hitting the force of the air outside of the aircraft, being shielded by his seat. Protecting his neck from whiplash while deploying the chute 10 sec after - to allow for safe deceleration as to not tear his parachute. He can be supplied with a 5L air canister strapped to his chest so as to not suffocate from the drop in air pressure at the point of ejection process starting underneath him. ( I know this wont work, but i thought i would give an attempt at it)....
Great production, this is just miles ahead of mainstream media. It's because of this type of high quality content i don't even own a television anymore :D
You should have other sources too. There were a number of mistakes made in this video such as the purpose for the shape of your typical re-entry capsule. The reason behind the assumptions that NK can't create a re-entry capsule for a small nuclear device is because one of their tests didn't make the cut, however using that same reasoning you'd believe SpaceX wouldn't have ever made it either, and a tr-entry capsule is significantly easier to create than what SpaceX has done. The only question is if they have small nuclear devices or not. - The re-entry Capsule would be easy as all get out for them to create. Do they? Well they say that they do and we don't have proof that they don't.
Worth noting ICBM's don't use blunt body re-entry, and instead have extremely streamlined rentry vehicles. This allows them to reach the ground extraordinarily quickly which is part of why they're so difficult to counter
for re-entry NOT for getting Higher.... OK... Hemp... Rope.... Climb it..... Up..... Guidance ? like steering.......ROFLMAO....... HEM..(burp)P iss off

6:30 since GPS Selective Availability (SA) was removed in 2007, accuracy is usually within 4 metres, at 95% Confidence Interval. Good enough to hit anything with a nuke...
Chinese military expert as saying China cannot stop North Korea from using Beidou in military operations. Beside Beidou, the other main satellite navigation options for North Korea are the Global Positioning System of the United States and the Russian system known as Glonass.
Real Engineering thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. Out of everything I have watched on UA-cam... Real Engineering has been the most informative entertaining. Thank you
A word of caution. Many decades ago some Western countries thought that another country, not far from Korea, did not have the ability to make modern military aircraft. They got a nasty shock on December 7/8th 1941.
BS the US new well and good the military capabilities of Japan as they had been aiding China along with Russia in the Second Sino-Japanese War pre Pearl Harbor, during which the Japanese were very successful with their Navy including Aircraft carriers. These carriers and aircraft did not just mysteriously appear on Dec 7.
As well the US goaded Japan into attacking them by putting an embargo on their oil supplies. The US had been planning for the possibility of war with Japan since the 20's so no surprise there.
Looks like they may have done it. 2800 miles into space and a successful reentry means that they can reach the US. We can't wait for your update video. Thanks for your good work!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. I get tired of explaining the engineering of ICBMs to people, and now i can just tell people to watch this video when they are freaking out.
A real fact is that the world has underestimated the DPRK. Videos like this contribute to kicking the can down the road: "...well they have X, but they can't do Y so we should all not worry." What we should be saying is that "they have X, and they'll have Y soon and it'll be horrible - what are we going to do now so that they don't get Y."
How about the US has X, has used it twice and thinks it can use tactical Y's with first strike and rule the world. It is horrible already, what are we doing to rid the US of X's and Y's. US International policy - Saddam is bad - hurts thousands of his own people - lets invade and kill a million - US good - now apply to NK.
One thing:A typical ICBM does not use satellites for guiding, instead, it use celestial navigation system (an optical system which tracks star light, just as the ancient sextant).although it is heavy and expensive, but the reliability is perfect.
One thing that has me skeptical is that we had icbms well before gps. Also, I don't even think they would need to be very accurate with a nuclear payload.
The re-entry nose cone lasted until 1km in height which is the optimal height for an emp. They have an ICBM, accuracy doesn't matter with 160kt thermonuclear warhead.
The North Koreans could use the U.S. public GPS network. It's available to anyone. It's just like military-grade (it's from the same satellites), except it's only accurate to ten or twenty meters, not ten or twenty centimeters. But that's good enough for Kim's needs.
Real Engineering: wrong. Your _device_ itself is programmed to shut down if the GPS signals it receives from the satellites indicate it is travelling at over 1200 mph. The satellites don't shut off their signals. Use your head. That would drop all GPS for everyone in that entire hemisphere of the world. We don't all get some special individual beam from the satellite. We all use the same beam, and it takes at least four satellites for your cell phone to triangulate its own position. Drones require six. The signal is one-way. Do you really think your phone is constantly broadcasting info back to a satellite? Nope. Yet that's the only way the satellite would know to shut off. Your phone can't effectively broadcast much past the nearest cell tower. It's just receiving signals from four powerfully-broadcasting geostationary satellites in the sky and number-crunching that info internally into its own positional coordinates. NK would just have to build its own little guidance system and leave out the Shutdown-At-1200MPH line in its programming.
That just means they can't use a commercially available receiver. Technically, nothing is stopping them from engineering they're own receivers without the restriction. One hacker already did, and was even kind enough to post the instructions and source code online for everyone to see: www.aholme.co.uk/GPS/Main.htm Of course the obvious downside to relying directly on your enemies infrastructure, is that the US army could just shut down civilian GPS at any time if they felt there was a threat (as you yourself already mentioned in your GPS video) and then NK would be back at square one.
@@robertdawg4754 They can reach the same distance as America, but they're so out of date , and most likely would either fall short into the ocean or hit canada.😂 and we have a shield to shoot them down so easily.
Heat shields use a special substance to keep it cool enough to not explode. This could be used on an intercontinental missile. The substance is called “albator” or something.
I'm watching this video 3 days after North Korea announced the biggest ICMB in the world, the Hwason-17. From being incapable of developing one to having the world's biggest ICMB the North Korean engineers have really come a long way. In a span of five years, the world has made great advancements.
(all?) Civil GPS modules have built in limitations: They stop tracking the position for speeds more than 1000 knots (1200 mph / 1900 km/h) And also they stop working for altitudes higher than 60000 feets (18km).. Thats why Korea needs own GPS satellites or get one of the US military ones.. which wont probably work for US targets.
Without aiming to cause alarm or reinforce scary things, the evidence presented in this video is shaky at best, and don't support the title. 1) On the RV survivability question - the one in question survived until the final kilometer, which is well low enough for a damaging airburst to take place. 2) Further to that RV burning up, note that the HS14 test was entering the atmosphere from a severely high angle - in an attack scenario, it would be a shallower entry with less pressure/heat on the vehicle. 3) On the accuracy question - GPS satellites are entirely unnecessary (and not even used by the US ICBM force) for accurate ballistic missile shots. We still don't know the HS14's accuracy yet. The backgrounder on ICBMs in general was solid. The conclusion that NK cannot build an ICBM is not supported by the evidence -- and in fact, the bits of evidence we have so far seem to all point to the fact that they can. It's not exactly something
Andrew Facini. You need to get in the war room here sir. The president wants all officers on deck ...he's about to give his " Rally the troops speech".
Really drives home Werner von Braun's full awareness of what he was doing that he named it "Project America". Coupled with his work using Holocaust victims, it really stings that he was so integral to US rocketry. Especially with China scouting him in the middle of that work.

The reason behind the assumptions that NK can't create a re-entry capsule for a small nuclear device is because one of their tests didn't make the cut, however using that same reasoning you'd believe SpaceX wouldn't have ever made it either, and a tr-entry capsule is significantly easier to create than what SpaceX has done.
The only question is if they have small nuclear devices or not. - The re-entry Capsule would be easy as all get out for them to create. Do they? Well they say that they do and we don't have proof that they don't.
Patriot 03 good point, can you point to some other sources?
pedrofdmp are you talking about? This video was absolute trash, completely misinformed, mostly personal opinion, and worst of all politically biased.
Xortsa interesting, why do you say so?
Worth noting ICBM's don't use blunt body re-entry, and instead have extremely streamlined rentry vehicles.
This allows them to reach the ground extraordinarily quickly which is part of why they're so difficult to counter
REVs do not use the blunt body method but solely rely on ablative cooling/shielding. They also use a sharper even worse angle of entry.
What about a HEMP? Sure you still need guidance but no heat shielding.
for re-entry NOT
for getting Higher.... OK... Hemp... Rope.... Climb it..... Up.....
Guidance ? like steering.......ROFLMAO....... HEM..(burp)P iss off

6:30 since GPS Selective Availability (SA) was removed in 2007, accuracy is usually within 4 metres, at 95% Confidence Interval. Good enough to hit anything with a nuke...

Thank you random internet use from the past, always get that one wrong.
this aged well
but the Hwasong-14?
Wilhelm VonRoefelz how do you know sir?
Wilhelm VonRoefelz ICBM use satellite and inertial guidance you idiot, you know nothing about missile technology
Wilhelm VonRoefelz - Doesn't pretty much everything in the US arsenal predate satellite navigation?
Ben i think its optional as they may not need satillite guidance if they already have coordinates.
Wilhelm VonRoefelz they need satellite guidance otherwise their ICBM will be inaccurate you idiot
Chinese military expert as saying China cannot stop North Korea from using Beidou in military operations.
Beside Beidou, the other main satellite navigation options for North Korea are the Global Positioning System of the United States and the Russian system known as Glonass.
Real Engineering thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. Out of everything I have watched on UA-cam... Real Engineering has been the most informative entertaining. Thank you
4 yrs later and North Korea has build the ICBM.
""NORTH KOREA WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION""
Because he do not have membership of skillshare.
I find it funny when people say. "I'm going ballistic on a person."
So your going to fall towards earth?
Easiest fight ever.
A word of caution. Many decades ago some Western countries thought that another country, not far from Korea, did not have the ability to make modern military aircraft. They got a nasty shock on December 7/8th 1941.
BS the US new well and good the military capabilities of Japan as they had been aiding China along with Russia in the Second Sino-Japanese War pre Pearl Harbor, during which the Japanese were very successful with their Navy including Aircraft carriers. These carriers and aircraft did not just mysteriously appear on Dec 7.
As well the US goaded Japan into attacking them by putting an embargo on their oil supplies. The US had been planning for the possibility of war with Japan since the 20's so no surprise there.
Kim could build ICBM if he use skillshare!
Stop that

What? They already have a ICBM.
Why North Korea can't build ICBMs
Me:ಠ◡ಠ
(Yet)
Me:ಠ_ಠ
Most ICBMs don't use satellite navigation and instead use inertial and celestial navigation as those signals can be easily jammed or spoofed.
Looks like they may have done it. 2800 miles into space and a successful reentry means that they can reach the US.
We can't wait for your update video. Thanks for your good work!
Wait, that mean the first country to send human in space is NAZI germany
1 month later:

Ahem 3 years
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. I get tired of explaining the engineering of ICBMs to people, and now i can just tell people to watch this video when they are freaking out.
You got me, i was paid by Soros to make this comment. IM SORRY SOROS I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY FOUND OUT!!!
Interesting points, but it would be ignorant to underestimate anyone. It's impressive what they've been able to create.
guess who just launched one
Me, it came out of my ass and was actually biological AND nuclear in nature.
A real fact is that the world has underestimated the DPRK. Videos like this contribute to kicking the can down the road: "...well they have X, but they can't do Y so we should all not worry." What we should be saying is that "they have X, and they'll have Y soon and it'll be horrible - what are we going to do now so that they don't get Y."
How about the US has X, has used it twice and thinks it can use tactical Y's with first strike and rule the world. It is horrible already, what are we doing to rid the US of X's and Y's. US International policy - Saddam is bad - hurts thousands of his own people - lets invade and kill a million - US good - now apply to NK.
North Korea military parade 2020.
You forgot that also in mid course ICBMs use celestial guidance , just like sailors used to use a sextant to calculate their positions.
One thing:A typical ICBM does not use satellites for guiding, instead, it use celestial navigation system (an optical system which tracks star light, just as the ancient sextant).although it is heavy and expensive, but the reliability is perfect.
Will we see a - How did North Korea manage to build a ICBM - Now?
Pli Mak I would love to see that.
This didn't age well

Laurynas Čekanavičius *missile flies over Japan
john mangele Missile, not Nuclear Warhead.
It's bother me alot too,
* sigh *
3rd wordler.
One thing that has me skeptical is that we had icbms well before gps. Also, I don't even think they would need to be very accurate with a nuclear payload.
The re-entry nose cone lasted until 1km in height which is the optimal height for an emp. They have an ICBM, accuracy doesn't matter with 160kt thermonuclear warhead.
The North Koreans could use the U.S. public GPS network. It's available to anyone. It's just like military-grade (it's from the same satellites), except it's only accurate to ten or twenty meters, not ten or twenty centimeters. But that's good enough for Kim's needs.
Public GPS shuts off the moment the receiver begins acting like a missile
zippymax1 riposte dont worry they dont have internet :D MEMES RUSH
This limit is only programmed into the receivers, it shouldnt be impossible to bypass it.
Real Engineering: wrong. Your _device_ itself is programmed to shut down if the GPS signals it receives from the satellites indicate it is travelling at over 1200 mph. The satellites don't shut off their signals. Use your head. That would drop all GPS for everyone in that entire hemisphere of the world. We don't all get some special individual beam from the satellite. We all use the same beam, and it takes at least four satellites for your cell phone to triangulate its own position. Drones require six.
The signal is one-way. Do you really think your phone is constantly broadcasting info back to a satellite? Nope. Yet that's the only way the satellite would know to shut off. Your phone can't effectively broadcast much past the nearest cell tower. It's just receiving signals from four powerfully-broadcasting geostationary satellites in the sky and number-crunching that info internally into its own positional coordinates.
NK would just have to build its own little guidance system and leave out the Shutdown-At-1200MPH line in its programming.
That just means they can't use a commercially available receiver. Technically, nothing is stopping them from engineering they're own receivers without the restriction. One hacker already did, and was even kind enough to post the instructions and source code online for everyone to see: www.aholme.co.uk/GPS/Main.htm
Of course the obvious downside to relying directly on your enemies infrastructure, is that the US army could just shut down civilian GPS at any time if they felt there was a threat (as you yourself already mentioned in your GPS video) and then NK would be back at square one.
This video is now expired.
and they misspelled the word "separation"....lol
NK’s nukes still are ass and fall short 💀
@@robertdawg4754 They can reach the same distance as America, but they're so out of date , and most likely would either fall short into the ocean or hit canada.😂 and we have a shield to shoot them down so easily.
So they have the necessary oil and gold but not enough knowledge. Rise of Nations was surprisingly accurate.
Why can't they use the standard GPS/GLONASS for guidance? Isn't +-10m accurate enough?
Heat shields use a special substance to keep it cool enough to not explode. This could be used on an intercontinental missile.
The substance is called “albator” or something.
Yeah, they just did it!
Just saw articles about how they failed reentry tests, you need to do more research before claiming fake news.
It's not good enough. It may hit the U.S, but it would probably hit just off the coast off the U.S.
they bought it from china
The hydrogen bombs warheads they now own need no precision whatsoever, as one such detonation can wipe out the area of an entire state.
But I think the point to be made here is that the Warhead would burn up, therefore preventing the h-bomb from hitting the surface and exploding. Duh
When you come across a rattlesnake, why should you wait until it bites to take action?
good thing country rattle snake
Too bad that analogy still worked well enough for Nazi Germany when it was originally used.
I believe it was Winston Churchill who said it. He certainly was more correct than Chamberlin. Kind of like the difference between Trump and Obama.
I had thought it was Roosevelt, but I guess I could be wrong.
It was Roosevelt as a frustrated response to American isolationism.
I'm watching this video 3 days after North Korea announced the biggest ICMB in the world, the Hwason-17. From being incapable of developing one to having the world's biggest ICMB the North Korean engineers have really come a long way. In a span of five years, the world has made great advancements.
what exactly do you man by "great"
(all?) Civil GPS modules have built in limitations: They stop tracking the position for speeds more than 1000 knots (1200 mph / 1900 km/h) And also they stop working for altitudes higher than 60000 feets (18km)..
Thats why Korea needs own GPS satellites or get one of the US military ones.. which wont probably work for US targets.

6 minutes of explaining German V2s only to tell us NK missiles cant survive reentry, followed by ads
first and last time viewer tbh
Can't blame yuh. He has become a bit more ad-intensive recently. Gots to makes duh monies.
If they make so much money by ads, can't they hire an actual engineer to tell them something about rocketry?
Well, he has a degree in materials science and engineering. Not exactly aerospace. Soooo.
Alcathous he puts more ads on because ad rev is shit right now, he’s just trying to create a living
Joshua Barosin, Just generating enough revenue to keep websites running is a serious challenge. Much less make a decent living.
US doesn't have submarines
- Real engineering
And Estonian have 11 planes, and 4 bouts ...
Without aiming to cause alarm or reinforce scary things, the evidence presented in this video is shaky at best, and don't support the title.
1) On the RV survivability question - the one in question survived until the final kilometer, which is well low enough for a damaging airburst to take place.
2) Further to that RV burning up, note that the HS14 test was entering the atmosphere from a severely high angle - in an attack scenario, it would be a shallower entry with less pressure/heat on the vehicle.
3) On the accuracy question - GPS satellites are entirely unnecessary (and not even used by the US ICBM force) for accurate ballistic missile shots. We still don't know the HS14's accuracy yet.
The backgrounder on ICBMs in general was solid. The conclusion that NK cannot build an ICBM is not supported by the evidence -- and in fact, the bits of evidence we have so far seem to all point to the fact that they can. It's not exactly something
Andrew Facini. You need to get in the war room here sir. The president wants all officers on deck ...he's about to give his " Rally the troops speech".
Another channel I didn't know I needed. These kinds of specialised documentary style channels are definitely the future of UA-cam.
Just a smart question, is there any way to stop a ICBM rocket from hitting a country?
Well this aged poorly lol.
Pretty sure they have several ICBMs...

They perhaps do not need re-entry: a high-altitude EMP strike would be quite enough to wreak economic havoc on a developed country like the US.
Really drives home Werner von Braun's full awareness of what he was doing that he named it "Project America". Coupled with his work using Holocaust victims, it really stings that he was so integral to US rocketry. Especially with China scouting him in the middle of that work.
It got just proven differently..
