"Successful" missile test had help

On July 17 I expressed skepticism over the "successful" test. I said
 " many past tests were rigged (heaters on the warhead to strengthen
 the IR signature etc) to make them look better than they actually were
 but that didn't come out until years later."

This time it didn't take years, the warhead had a C band transceiver to
amplify the radar signal.
