I would have agreed with you in the past. But now? It wouldn't surprise me if they secretly gutted all that in order to make some money, and the people in charge of the nuclear stockpile are way overworked, aren't supervised, and have forgot half of the information.

Regardless this is bad news no matter which way you look at it. People are saying it was a test of the response, well it doesn't matter what the reason they launched it was, they still got the data for the test, even if they didn't mean to do this.

The idea that they're using these as kinetic + fuel weapons doesn't make much sense to me.
