So, are they saying that the russians are supplying the North Koreans with missiles?



The missile has been around for a while, so it's up in the air how they aquired them but the scarey part is..



Maybe we are underestinating the North Koreans capabilities. They do have the 3rd largest active army, and the largest army reserves in the world. See Here

a lunatic despot with (partially) russian made weapons?
not too much of a shock there. it might mean the weapon is actually dangerous though.

Its possible to buy old soviet military equipment. It also is quite easy to do, if you know the right people. Im not surprised that there are soviet parts since alot of old cold war weapons and devices are up for sale to the highest bidder.

Soooo... does this mean they may have more missiles than previously thought?

It means they have better missiles then we thought

I think one of the driving forces behind Russian desires for deep missile cuts is so they have more old hardware to sell. It has been siting in their inventors for a couple of decades and now they want to liquidate it and put that money into something of more use. Selling it to space ventures and rouge nations is money in the bank for the Russians and if we go and blow them up then they will just sell some more. They lose nothing in the deal either way.

Not only that, but most likely they will sell to countries that will or will try to use it against the US.

I hope that the media isn't going to use this info to encourage even more bad feeling toward Russia. When the Soviet union collapsed, all that kind of stuff was sold off. I hope the American media doesn't try and draw a link saying that Russia is complicit in the latest "Krazy Kim" antics.

Thats funny you mention that, I was just reading this article and wondering something similar

Obama to tell Putin: Time to move past Cold War

If true is bad news.Dont forget NK has chemical/bio weapons they can stick on those birds.

America seems very cocky. Making fun of NK and their leader, like it is primary school.
They think every country praises them and respects them, but in reality NO countries respect them. I'm not surprised to hear that the rocket has Soviet parts, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they have nuclear weapons hidden somewhere either.

Just like primary school America might be better off if they stop mocking NK and saying "it's okay, they wouldn't hurt me, they cant, we are the most powerful, yeeeeehaw!"

Interesting article. So cooperation is going to mean disarming nukes I guess.

The other day somebody said something which was very interesting, that America has never taking military action against a country which had nuclear weapons. You can really see why Russia does not want to be the first one to holster his gun in this Mexican standoff.

To be fair, to the best of my knowledge, Israel is the only nuclear armed country to be attacked in a serious way.

And more than one time, mind you, by more than one country.


For that matter, Russia and China have never directly attacked a nuclear armed country either.....

Just food for thought...

Yes and they haven't invaded any oil nations either

I was watching John Stewart yesterday and he had a guy on their that wrote a book on his work to help North Koreans get out and resettle in China or one of the other islands around there and he said they teach anti-Americanism to their school children.

He gave an example of a grade school math problem. "If you have a hand grenade and you kill to American's with it and another hand grenade and it blows up 1 Americans how many Americans have you killed?"

That was in a grade school text book. You might think Americans are cocky but the North Koreans are taught to hate us from early childhood. Which is worse behavior? I think teaching hate to children is far worse than people just being full of themselves.

Is everyone on here an idiot? Soviet parts do not mean the rockets have the latest hardware from Russia and that Russia is supplying them. SOVIET means parts from the SOVIET empire. This means over 15 years ago. These can be bought by any country. There is nothing to read here that implies in any shape that Russia is helping NK with their missiles.

Please people read and THINK!!!

the most important rule of war:

NEVER underestimate your enemy.

You will lose every time.

How funny that you would tell people to "read and THINK!!!" when you obviously havn't read the posts here. Allow me to quote it for you.



The point is not that the soviets may be supplying N Korea, it is that the N Korean capabilities may be better then we thought.
