N. Korea launches railway-borne ‘ballistic missile’ from train for the first time

In its latest display of military peacocking, North Korea claims to have launched a ballistic missile from the carriage of a fully functioning train. Anyone else beginning to get the feeling Kim may be compensating for something with all this recent missile-swinging?

Footage released by NK state media appears to show a train pulling out from a tunnel before a missile is launched from the rear carriage, with the state claiming that the projectile hit its target over 500 miles away.

Here’s hoping the supreme leader doesn’t go off the rails and deploy his ‘Railway Mobile Missile Regiment’ for real.
