though, I will say it was an interesting read - the bit about the 150 or so photographs recovered from the camera of a photographer who was killed taking pictures after the collapse is kind of touching.

They shot down a satellite using a modded IRBM.

Trust your ears.

In life and music, what is is but that doesn't always mean it's what it should. Change, is in our hands.

I can't believe I wasted around 30mins of my life reading that complete load of absolute bollocks.

Back on topic though:

I'm still impressed by the guys who worked out the exact time window they had to shoot the thing down, that is the kind of mathematics I'll never understand and it hurts to even think about.

More words here is more words.

Maybe it wasn't a test per se... But still, it's funny how it sparked convorsation/interest about it.

A sat is a very predictable target, whereas ICBM's with smart MIRV's are not.

This was not a wartime test, at best it show capability and range?
