Testing a TD-2 seems to me like a very expensive exercise for a country as strapped as North Korea. Perhaps they’re just pursuing status but I think there’s a more practical reason for the test.

Extorting money out of the US and South Korea in exchange for dropping their missile program? Even if you're correct (and I'm not saying you aren't), it boils down to outbidding Iran.

Sounds like a perfect time to test anti missile tech. Makes a statement to both the NK's and Iranians, you can make them, you can load them, you can shoot them and we will knock them out of the sky and then come gunning for you. mpw
