      Also, there will be intense debate on the yield range, likely design, and whether or not the two-stage claims are true. That's good, but...

      Their reentry vehicles are already surviving to altitudes sufficient for delivering air burst payloads. Their ICBMs fly. Do the math.

      They already flew over Japan with a missile designed to carry a "large-sized, heavy nuclear warhead." They'll do it again with an ICBM.

      For their deterrent, too, there may be reason to see this test as their likely "last" nuclear test.

      If their "dial-a-yield" claim from earlier is true (might not be), they'd have a one-size-fits-all design. Fizmat seems to not be a problem.

      They might keep going anyway, pursuing megaton payloads, but I suspect the Hwasong-14 + 100+ kt payload *should* convincingly deter the US.

      (And they're clearly not stopping with the Hwasong-14 design: solid fuel ICBMs will come, given their survivability pressures.)

      Sanctions won't stop this. War won't stop this w/ an acceptable level of risk to US/Japan/ROK. Diplomacy might not either. We'll muddle on.pic.twitter.com/6EgT74NYa1

      Silver lining to this thread? Maybe tonight's test vented and USAF WC-135s will pick up a cornucopia of radionuclide indicators. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Is there a realistic chance to learn about the level of miniaturization from such data?

          From my amateurish POV I can imagine detecting boosted vs staged etc, but package size seems harder.
