It is generally accepted that Russia did fake a lot of stuff during the Cold War to pretend that they had more technological prowess than they did. During the Cold War, Russia went around parading fake ICBMs for decades:

Quote from: AP News
Moscow paraded dummy missiles

MANY OF the huge strategic missiles displayed in Red Square parades during the Soviet era were only dummies, but they scared the West into an expensive response, a Russian magazine reported yesterday.

One such fake, GR-1, an acronym for Global Missile, showed during a parade in 1965, prompted the United States to build an anti- missile defence system worth billions of dollars, said the weekly Vlast (Power). In fact, the Soviets had abandoned the GR-1 project long before the parade.

Another two mobile ballistic missiles shown in the same parade were also fakes, their test launches having been a failure, the magazine said. "Foreign military attaches were scared to death, triggering panic in Nato headquarters," it said. "A huge international uproar followed, and only those who prepared this demonstration knew they were dummies." One of the authors of the Vlast report worked as a missile engineer and said he had worked on a support system for one of the fake missiles to prevent it from bouncing on the stone-paved Red Square in Moscow. The magazine said the Soviet leader Nikita Krushchev first bluffed the West with the legend of powerful Russian missiles, saying the Soviet Union was making them "like sausage". "Such comparison sounded ambiguous for the Soviet people, because the sausage was in deficit, but it duly impressed foreigners," it said. At the time of Krushchev's comment, the Soviets had only four intercontinental ballistic missiles on duty, while the United States had 60. "The myth about the Soviet missile superiority was convenient for both the Soviet leadership and the American military industrial complex, which was getting huge contracts," the magazine said.

There is also a book about Russian Cold War fakery; Russia and the Big Red Lie.


So ICBMs exist.  Can you confirm to @Action80 please.
I think the larger point Tom was making is that ICBM's do not actually exist.

Pity that went over your head or through your ears.


Many.  And the others?

A helicopter is in the atmospheric boundary layer of Earth.   An ICBM is in space.
LOL!

The moon is in space too, in case you forgot.

You do not even know what an ICBM is and are going to presume to now lecture about where things move and how/why the mythical G is going to affect things?

I don't think so.


ICBM;

M = Missile; a projectile.
B = Ballistic; not reliant on aerodynamics for its trajectory.
IC = Inter Continental; having a range typical of the distances between continents. 

The same sources which told you that the initial test of Hwasong-14 had a range of 700 miles, and you trust, also say it reached an altitude of 1750 miles.  Apparently, this gives it the range to hit Alaska and Hawaii.  (I'm not the rocket scientist here, but you have the quadratic equations, so you do the math).  Note that this was the very first test of the Hwasong 14, subsequent development and tests have improved the performance. 

And you will do the math for us?
Who said I trust the BS posted in that article?

I don't trust that article one bit.

At all.

Just like I do not trust you at all.

After all, you stated:
Kim Jong Un has fired several ICBMs.
So, according to you "several," constitutes one.

And that "one," didn't even travel 1000 miles (according to sources), let alone 1000's of miles.

See, when you are incapable of understanding words like, "several," and just willy-nilly toss out figures not matching your rhetoric, it becomes hard to accept.

The others did not exist at all.

When you claim you have something, you cannot parade out nothing.

I mean, look at your replies to this post.

You are claiming you have something, but you are trotting out absolutely nothing.

Not working out too well, is it?

Tom made his point that ICBMs don’t exist by citing a source that said they do exist. Seems like Tom failed.

Total Lackey, meanwhile has nothing to present other than his incredulity. Real top notch work.

From the same AP article you cited:

"It wasn’t until 1970 that the Soviet Union reached parity with the United States in land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the overall nuclear balance was attained only shortly before the 1991 Soviet collapse, Vlast said."

Seems like your statement, "In the article they only have sources with testimonials of the fake missiles." is not truthful nor accurate. That's what happens when you stop reading after you found what you thought to be a juicy cherry-picked quote.

If ICBMs were real, what evidence would it take for you to believe it?

Would you have to actually witness a launch? Or would you need a warhead to drop on your city?

If the world is flat, it means that I have been deceived by a global, multi-generational conspiracy spending trillions of dollars over hundreds of years.

Ah, so you really have nothing. You are grasping at straws to justify a country who would need to lie about their ICBMs. That's not a testimonial of someone's personal knowledge of real or fake missiles. That's a brief statement of general Cold War history. The references of personal knowledge in that link says that the missiles are fake.

You didn't even disagree with this assessment, and have accepted it, desperately moving the goal post now to demanding that the article proves that all the ICBMs are fake.

If that’s all your contending then you’ve waited awfully long to clarify. If that is the case, why even post it? Faking a parade float seems woefully off-topic.

I think the real issue is no one here has come close to demonstrating ICBM's are real, including you.

Until then, it is just a myth propagated by liars.

Actually, no one, anywhere, (that is equivalent to ZERO, by the way, in case you have learned how to count) has demonstrated ICBM's are real.

So, it is not tfes.org that has the entire burden.

I am perhaps fortunate never to have seen an actual mortar fired, or a Tomahawk hit its target.  Do you have a source for their existence, or is it just your own testimony?
