Seoul refrained from official condemnation of the latest missile launches of the DPRK

The South Korean government refrained from publishing a statement condemning the missile launches conducted from the territory of the DPRK the day before, reports RIA News message agency "Renhap."

It is obvious that the current situation has nothing to do with strategic provocative actions ... It seems that the DPRK is trying not to aggravate the situation (on the peninsula). Such low-intensity provocations can be interpreted as a signal that the mindset for dialogue can be maintained after joint exercises,
said a representative of the Presidential Administration of Kazakhstan.

Recall, on Saturday morning, the North Korean military conducted test rocket launches from the area of ​​the village Kitteren in Gangwon Province. According to American experts, "three short-range ballistic missiles were launched."

Seoul believes that these were shells, possibly fired from the MLRS of a new type. Tokyo does not exclude both options. In any case, everyone agreed that these launches did not pose a threat to neighboring states.

Later, Pyongyang announced the holding of military competitions - maneuvers of special units of the Korean Army in honor of the celebration of the "Songun Day", which is celebrated on August 25.

Last Monday, South Korea and the United States began the 10-day exercise "Ulchi - Freedom Guardian", which in Pyongyang was perceived as a rehearsal for the invasion of North Korea.

              I don’t think, rather, the factor of "self-preservation", or rather, caution:
              On August 95, 24.08.2017, Russian strategic missile carriers Tu-35MS completed scheduled flights over the neutral waters of the Japanese, Yellow and East China Seas, that is, they circled the Korean Peninsula. At the same time, long-range missile carriers were accompanied by Su-50S fighters and A-XNUMX radar patrol and guidance aircraft (such a powerful tracking of "strategists" has not been noted in recent years).
              Previously, two Tu-95 MS missile carriers and two Il-38 anti-submarine aircraft circled the coast from the Sea of ​​Japan, and simultaneously two long-range Tu-142 anti-submarine aircraft circled the Land of the Rising Sun from the Pacific coast, where the large US Navy base is located. At the same time, Kyodo agency noted that such a flyby of Japan was not observed for three years.

M) with a salvo range from 20 to 70 km, in the short term - up to a hundred. Moreover, the "Tornado" burns everything, even armored vehicles.

      This would be a personal matter of the South Koreans and not their dog business (North Koreans) if all this kissing with the Americans did not directly threaten the northerners. And it would not be directly directed against them. Here you are personally and all Russians for some reason worried about kissing with the Americans the same Ukrainians or, say, the Balts ..?

    This will never happen. Well, poorly, but the same States in Korea have their own interests. And the USA WILL NOT LEAVE from there until the moment when the capture of the South by the North becomes impossible. You should not consider Americans fools and hope that "the Americans will leave first," and then agree. This process will be even longer than the unification of Germany.

      So I found what officially the North Korean side reported:
      http://bmpd.livejournal.com/1775403.html
      Test shooting took place in different ways with the use of high-explosive fragmentation rocket, underground penetrating rocket and shotgun rocket. During the shooting, the amazing destructive and destructive power of a missile warhead was tested and confirmed, the power of which was increased by mixing with a high-energy substance.

      Observing the amazing accuracy of the guided missile and the amazing power of the warhead, smashing the solidly constructed military contingents, tanks, guns and shelters for conditional enemy combat vehicles, the country's top leader was very pleased.

      Those. if translated into normal Russian, it turns out that a 300mm caliber rocket has a high-explosive fragmentation warhead of increased power, penetrating warheads and warheads with striking elements to destroy manpower. All this is of increased power and with a sufficiently high accuracy of hit. Those. it is possible that the missile is guided. Something like that.

    That’s why the decision was made (and with the leak of missile technologies from Ukraine there was also an opportunity) to reduce in / by transferring their strike part to TNW.
