More vertical does not mean straight up admiral....it means more vertical....like when you attempt an erection..
OK, brain surgeon! How does it make the flight halfway around the world when it could only go 500 nm downrange? It's physics.
If it goes further downrange, it will not have the same altitude as when it goes "more vertical". That is the nature of a ballistic flight path!
Artillery works the same way, Einstein wannabe!
Does that put it in perspective?
Get the hell over yourself already
Why? Because I actually know what I am talking about? Does that ruin your fun? Too bad!
We are still trying to figure out what you're talking about...
Well, let's see! I addressed your OP numerous times and should have waved the BS flag. maybe that would have gotten your attention.
What did you do on that missile crew? Polish the general's balls or rub the missiles with WD40?
It is readily apparent that your knowledge of physics and ballistic flight is about as close to zero as it can get.
EMPs require a high altitude burst near the intended target, as in within the same continent perhaps? How will North Korea get their EMP weapon, which they obviously have not tested, and is based entirely on speculation, halfway around the globe to attack the US if their missile flight trajectory looks more like a 4th of July bottle rocket?
Straightening out the flight path puts much closer targets in range, but they have not even demonstrated the capability to do that.
All speculation and no facts is what you are basing everything you posted upon.
