(Our local "experts" seem to be on the side of the Chinese and Russians.)
My goodness, Ken, would you mind elaborating on this? Which "local experts"? If those experts are "on the side of the Chinese and Russians" are you suggesting that if they're not Chinese or Russian, they're actively disloyal to their home nations?
Please clarify, because the common word for that is not a nice one.
Also, DAS did not, as far as I know, detect any ballistic missiles. It did image a Falcon 9 space launch vehicle, much bigger than even an ICBM and two orders of magnitude larger than many TBMs - or rather, it detected the 3000 lb of fuel/LOX combustion product coming out of its back end every second.
