North Korea has repeatedly conducted missile launch tests.

The experiment has been criticized internationally (more precisely, by the Western camp of UN member states).

But from a missile development engineer's point of view -- "the more tests, the better.

Technological development is the accumulation of failures because they become so valuable that money cannot replace them.

And it occurred to me that every time I see such images of the vast amount of weapons now being used in Ukraine and Russia, I wonder.

"Where on earth are these weapons being tested?"

There is no way to manufacture weapons without experimentation.

Of course, indoor testing and computerized silation are possible, but ultimately, a weapon's reliability cannot be measured without field (outdoor) testing.

Of course, there will be accidents of malfunctioning weapons that are not in the news, but such weapons will lose their market value.

Weapons, as products, must be able to operate according to specifications.

By the way, the current administration is quickly accomplishing what previous administrations wanted to do but just couldn't.

The "Three Principles on Defense Equipment Transfer" is one of them.

I'm unfamiliar with defense law, but this is similar to the "indirect infringement" analogy in patent law terms (which may be even more confusing).

So, if the development of a continental ballistic missile for export is publicly approved in our country, I wonder, 'Where is our country going to field test that missile?

In our country, which has a world-class peace constitution, I believe and would like to believe that some people would be uncomfortable with such a story.

But perhaps we should all be gutted by now.
