2nd test demonstrated that if it was launched at minimum energy trajectory then it would have reached beyond circular velocity thus viable in SLV role if repurposed/adapted for such.

Nearly 2 tons of bombs. Or two long range cruise missiles.

You're just blind. They are not the same.

Your assertion is only possible by someone uneducated on the subject. You don't know anything on AAMs of PRC and DPRK yet make such assertion that is factually incorrect.
