It would be the military version of Anthony Joshua V Charles Martin.
NK vs USA

Surprised in a way at the lack of success given that Iran supposedly perfected the tech after acquiring the missiles from NK and supposedly fed back the know how - maybe Iran are no more interested in NK having actual working long range ballistic missiles than anyone else.
Last few tests, plenty of reports that the missiles have flown for a while before "terminating" conflicting with alternate reports of "instant failures". Tricky to know who to believe and how much control NK has once these things are launched.
That's always the problem with these things. There will be (anti?)propeganda from the UK and US governments. The general public will never get the full picture on either our side or the NK side.

Meh. How many more times are they going to demonstrate they are crap at launching missiles? It's getting boring.
No one would be stupid enough to not have safeguards for this.

exactly my thoughts. they tested lets say the launching ability, then after they got the results they needed they "make it malfunction". they get the information they want. and don't alarm USA as much as say the missile flown for miles and been a "success".
Russia uses their own OS (IIRC customised version of Linux) for their military OS which has been stripped to the bone so realistically no chance of a hidden rootkit, etc. and likewise they examine the firmware of any hardware used on a byte by byte basis and/or create their own version of the firmware. No idea on what China does.
Hes probably bored of using AA guns to kill people and now he's strapping them to the rockets so he gets 2 for 1's. Tests his launching ability and kills people in style.
Where's the proof these missiles were even launched?
The US is most likely setting the groundwork to justify military intervention. Not at all dissimilar to the Iraq invasion in 2003.
They've sent masses of hardware/troops to South Korea and the waters around it, they're going to do something, because leaving Kim to his own devices is not an option any more.

While not proof they've actually been tested you can see in Russian/Asian news sources via Asian sources that have connections to NK claims of missile tests sometimes ahead of it being reported by Western organisations/US military sources.
