North Korea now moving its ICBM missiles

a reply to: Mantiss2021

Might be why NK hasn't yet suffered a mysterious and unexplained 'accident' destroying its primary nuclear research facility.

You mean like this?

Ya, that would be bad. [/sarc]

Although that was a different kind of "accident", it did push them back a few years.

More importantly, there is no published indication that NK has nuclear warheads that can be mounted to any of the missiles.

It's a subtle, but vitally important distinction.


A missile-mounted nuke must be capable of surviving not only the g-forces and massive vibrations incurred by a missile launch, they must also survive, in the case of an ICBB, the intense heat of re-entry.

All while being small enough, and light-weight enough to fit on the end of a rocket.


All that is very difficult to do without actually testing your prototypes; at least not without the aid of supercomputers the likes of which are employed by the US, Russia, and, China. But not known to be available to NK.
