 US Missile Defense Outpacing North Korea Threat, Admiral Says
 
Military.com | 31 May 2017 | by Richard Sisk

A hit-to-kill test over the Pacific showed U.S. missile defenses can destroy intercontinental ballistic missile targets using decoys and protect against an eventual North Korean threat, the head of the Missile Defense Agency said Wednesday.

Vice Adm. James Syring said Tuesday's test in which an interceptor fired from California "completely obliterated" an ICBM-type target launched from Kwajalein Atoll would have worked "if it had been a North Korean launch."
