North Korea set for test launch of new mobile ICBM with upcoming nuclear test
Greetings,
I noticed that whenever a none white none American ally nation builds up its own defenses or proves that its capable to independently defense itself and its interest outside of Western dictates, it is reported as a “threat”,”provocative”, “defiant”, “illegal”, “stoking tensions”, and “destabilizing”.
These terms are never used against America or anglo nations . They are reserved for nations who buck up against the anglo order. Look how they describe North Korea, but North Korea is only doing a fraction of what America, the U.K, and NATO nations do….
Pyongyang Provocation
U.S. officials with access to intelligence reports said the North Koreans are expected to test fire either a new KN-08 road-mobile ICBM—capable of reaching parts of the United States—or a new medium-range advanced missile called the Musudan, also built on hard-to-detect mobile launchers.
New intelligence on the KN-08, which was showcased for the first time last April during a North Korean military parade atop a Chinese-made mobile transporter-launcher, indicates the North Koreans are preparing to launch one or more of the missiles around the time they conduct a future nuclear test.
Six of the missiles were shown during the parade. The range of the missile is not known because it has not yet been flight-tested. However, intelligence agencies believe it can range Alaska and Hawaii and possibly the U.S. West Coast.
The missile test preparations coincide with new intelligence indicating the North Koreans could conduct a third underground nuclear test at a remote facility in the northern part of the country called Kilju. Earlier nuclear tests were conducted in 2006 and 2009.
“All the signs are there” for an impending nuclear test blast, said one intelligence official.
The next test may involve a new type of weapon core for the North Koreans: highly enriched uranium. Two earlier tests are believed to have used plutonium as the weapon’s fuel. It is also possible North Korea could conduct two tests, one based on enriched uranium and one fueled by plutonium, the official said.
A second official said the timing of dual nuclear and missile tests could come any time between now and Feb. 25 and likely will coincide with a political event on the Korean peninsula or in the United States.
According to the officials, recent intelligence reports revealed last month that North Korea had moved some KN-08 missiles around the country. The new ICBM has not yet been test launched and the actual missile has been kept under wraps.
Components of the missile system, however, have been tested.
A flight test by the KN-08 would be a sign the new missile is close to deployment and would represent a new level of threat to the United States, the officials said.
Bruce E. Bechtol, a specialist on North Korea and professor at Angelo State University, said a key to the next test will be whether high enriched uranium is used.
“If they test an HEU device, it means that they are very close to having a weapon that they can put on a missile, likely the Nodong,” Bechtol said. “We know this because they have the design for a 500 kilogram warhad (HEU) that can go on a missile which they received from the Pakistanis.”
On the KN-08, Bechtol said a test would be very significant. “It will drastically impact the warning time for U.S, and allied intelligence and make a preemptive strike much more of a difficult endeavor,” he said.
A Musudan test also would be the first official test of that mobile missile, he said.
Then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in a June 2011 speech that, as a result of the new missile development, “North Korea is in the process of becoming a direct threat to the United States.”…more here
