North Korea makes a show of launching anything so that isn't really news. My question, if you watch the video of the launch from a mobile tractor is are the people in the tractor burnt up when it launches? Is it a press the button and get incinerated? I can't se how anyone wouls survive that rocket exhaust.

Troops launching the hand held rocket propelled javelin anto tank missile don't get damaged so why would anyone need burnt up in this instance?

Have you watched the vid? The whole tractor is enveloped in flames.

Hand held rockets usually have a small charge to propel them to a safe distance before the main rocket fires. Having said that, you wouldn't want to be behind something like an RPG when it's fired and a mate of mine has partial deafness from being in the region of a 66mm LAW when it was fired to clear a sangar on Mount Harriet during the Falklands conflict.

It'd be pretty stupid to design a launch system that didn't protect the crew. Laughing

Looks armoured. It would probably take a direct hit from an RPG and you'd need to change the wiper blades.
