Scott Ritter on NMD

Scott Ritter on NMD. Though he is approaching it mostly from a Russian-watching perspective, commenting on the SS-27 which is laser-hardened, solid-fueled, and carries decoys. The North Korean rocket might be very different.

The "missile defense" system, which has mostly been a corporate welfare system, has any number of other problems. Including not working. Not making a whole lot of sense, and fueling an arms race. Take a look at the APS report on boost intercept missile defense as well.
