What's this?

I don't think that attack was indicative of their full offensive

capabilities. It was designed to fail. Maybe for internal consumption. They have to know there is no defense against modern weapon systems. I'm guessing their ambitions to become a nuclear threat is real and is happeniing. They want to be players
