Viktor Esin? Some times written "Yesin" I assume.
Brocoli stop quoting Jeffrey Lewis he doesn't know better then Yesin. He has no access to Chinese nuclear secret. He thought he is expert but he is not His only knowledge come from 1980 when he collaborate with a chinese scientist who work on the same mothballed plutonium plant in Koko Nur . So his knowledge is just outdated as Yesin. I read his rebuttal but his rebuttal doesn't stick. yesin might be less knowledgeable about Chinese nuclear facility but he does get access to Russian tracking facility
We all know that China can send 3 satellite simultaneously since 1980. Exactly the same technology for MIRV So here is my proof.
