Then again, this shows that their “missile interceptor” can’t find, track, target and launch against a “target missile” that did not follow its intended track.
Shows an inherent limit in the interceptor missile, doesn’t it? (Or the safety limits of the test site override the interceptor - which I hope is the case.).
As far as I am aware, during missile tests, if any component begins to deviate from a predicted trajectory, subsequent launches are immediately cancelled, and the deviating missile is forced to self-destruct.
The test here was on Wheeler Island, which is in the Bay of Bengal. Two sovereign nations, Burma and Bangladesh, are right by it. I would think that a stray missile has the potential to quickly become a major international issue.
