Pyongyang announced the creation of nuclear missile forces

North Korea has completed the creation of full-fledged nuclear missile forces, reports TASS statement of the Central Television of the Republic.

DPRK "realized the great historical the task, having completed the creation of state nuclear forces, ”the government’s statement read out by the speaker reads.

The document emphasizes that the entire territory of the United States lies in the affected area of ​​the intercontinental ballistic missile Hwason-15 tested last night.

It is noted that the launch was carried out "under the personal order" of the DPRK leader Kim Jong-un "in response to the hostile policies pursued by Washington."

According to the report, "the rocket flew 950 km and reached the maximum height of 4 thousand. 475 km."

The development and development of DPRK’s strategic weapons are aimed at protecting the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity from the policy of nuclear blackmail and nuclear threat from the United States and ensuring the peaceful life of the people,

the statement said.

The government added that the missiles "will not constitute a threat to any neighboring countries and regions until the interests of the DPRK are violated." In the document, the republic is called "responsible nuclear power" and "peace-loving state."

Recall, this is the first missile test after 15 September - during the 75 days the government of the DPRK refrained from military provocations.

Alarming, of course, but it was to be expected! They were not given a choice!
I would not want to have such a neighbor, but from the bottom of my heart - “handsome”!

I agree. Indeed, they were left with no choice ..... But I wonder what’s next? In fact, the Koreans have nuclear weapons, if this statement means the end of active nuclear tests, then what will the Americans frighten the Japanese and South Caucasus with now? ... In order to increase its presence in the region, the Americans need a hotbed of tension.
It seems to me that such a statement from the DPRK was made under pressure from China and the Russian Federation.
Americans, of course, can demand to destroy nuclear weapons from North Koreans, but it will not look comme il faut, given that there are other countries (including close friends of the United States) that have violated the nuclear weapons non-proliferation treaty.

North Korea does not have a satellite constellation. That is, they will be guided "by eye" to whom God will send. Interestingly, the Chinese have provided for the possibility of taking control of their nuclear weapons? I won’t be surprised if the Chinese at some point say: “So! Everyone has calmed down! We are taking control of the Korean Nuclear Forces. Nobody is flying anywhere.”

I heard the opinion here that, they say, all this is part of the struggle of the USA and China for the European market. I doubt it. Somehow, all this is too complicated for amers. But such an opinion exists.

[Jedi]

For the USA, yes, it’s difficult. But not for China with their oriental cunning and cunning.

The territory of the United States is large, it is difficult to miss (if it flies). Even if not a single target is hit, it will be a heavy psychological blow for the states

Yeah! Panic ensured. Interestingly, the Americans are not even trying to bring them down. And this is strange. Such a fool flies where, why - it’s not clear. Maybe already to them. And they have silence. Maybe not everything is so curly with their missile defense?

[Dashout]

Yes, right! Why not hit? From the artists ... That's right you said about missile defense, maybe as well as the landing on the moon?

I also thought that it was written okhineya, the apogee of the orbit of modern ICBMs of 1200-1300 km and the range there is 12000 km. Such news will come down for the Rambler portal, but here I would like to see more thoughtful articles.

The numbers are correct. These are tests in cramped conditions and obviously beyond anyone's borders. Recount on "traditional" parameters - they will reach Europe. And to the United States are not intercepted to ballistics.

[ALEX_SHTURMAN]

ATP, I already answered below: about a little terr. DPRK I somehow forgot

[Solomon Kane]

modern ICBMs 1200-1300km

Man, if you want to “flash your mind”, at least open Wikipedia and read what suborbital paths ICBMs fly ..... at least 5500 km ....

[ALEX_SHTURMAN]

Sorry, well, it’s just that you’re wrong, the altitude of the rocket, i.e. the apogee of its trajectory is not constant and depends on the range of the target, if the target is close then the apogee will be higher, I wrote about launches to the maximum range ..

[Solomon Kane]

Please accept my sincere apologies for the mutual misunderstanding!

[ALEX_SHTURMAN]

It's okay, the main thing is that these launches remain training!

[evsyukov_a]

I apologize, not only Wiki, but also a bunch of other sources indicate the apogee of ICBMs from several hundred to 1300 km.

[bsk_una]

These are the mistakes of journalists who studied at school, but did not pass exams, they passed only the Unified State Exam: an example in one article, a rocket flies at a speed of 4000 km / s. These are the numbers on this site were recently.

[Solomon Kane]

Not in Vesti confirmed: 950 km. at an altitude of 4000 km

[aszzz888]

... he again urgently gathered for an "ambush" gathered, will again condemn "Un's actions" ...

[JonnyT]

With all my heart, we congratulate the working people of the DPRK on this achievement! We wish you continued success in peaceful development. The next step is your own space program.

[ufpb]

DPRK does not have a landfill in Kamchatka. So such a trajectory is chosen. In the ICBMs, the run time was checked.

[Kent0001]

I wonder how long this rocket will fly in a horizontal parabola from the top point? The US coast will reach or not. “Aegis” will bring her down or ...., well, hypothetically.

[alfa19638]

Well done, they’re not afraid to say and do, but don’t look more comfortable, but no matter what happens, it’s worthy of respect!

ICBM launched on a hinged path with a very wide angle. The maximum range will be somewhere 2,8-3 times greater than the altitude. If the altitude is 4500 km, the maximum range is 12–13 km.

They do not have not only a satellite constellation, but also ships of a command-measuring complex, so they simply will not succeed in testing missiles by launching at their maximum range. So they shoot along a steep path to check the theoretical calculations. In principle, with such shooting, doubled elevation is the flight range (for simple calculations). That is, we can definitely say that such a missile will fly at least 9000 km. But it is theoretically. It will not be possible to say how it will be in practice when firing at maximum range

This is no nonsense. The climax of 1200–1300 km is when shooting along the “classical” ballistic trajectory. North Koreans cannot control the flight over the weight of the "classic" ballistic trajectory, therefore they are forced to launch along a "steep" trajectory
Below is an example of a hypothetical rocket with a different shooting path (classic and steep trajectory)

Quote: Kent0001

With these parameters, it will definitely reach the middle of the USA. The most unpleasant thing about this launch is different. The missile trajectory will pass over the Khabarovsk Territory, part of the Magadan Region and Yakutia. Question: do we need it?
"Aegis is unlikely to hit, because it is designed to destroy medium-range missiles, and they have slightly lower speeds. Theoretically, being in the plane of fire can hit. But missiles like GB I will hit

Explain plz illiterate. The ISS cuts circles at an altitude of 400 km, the Koreans flew into space to remove 10 times more. So why can't they deliver the head to any part of the planet and how was their rocket controlled and generally returned? Thanks again to everyone.

Not me. This author says that he will reach Washington. So, the trajectory will pass just over those subjects of the Russian Federation about which I said ...

The rocket rose to the full development of fuel in all stages. It is possible that there was no mass-dimensional equivalent of the load at all. The start was at an angle of about 84-86 degrees. Theoretically, they checked the possible range. Actually what will be is unknown. In the same way, it is not known how the warhead will behave. TTX missiles are unknown, so it's too early to talk about the weight of the BG

Nothing wrong with that.
Below is a new North Korean missile, Hwasong-15. Most likely, the index in the US she will have KN-21. But for now, about this silence.


There is another not very noticeable, but it seems to me an important detail, but I suggest everyone to find it on their own
1. This is HWASONG-13 in version 1 model

2. This is HWASONG-13 in version 2 model

3. This is HWASONG-14

4. This is unknown while HWASONG

5. And this is HWASONG-15

Okay. in all photos except the latest Chinese chassis WS51200. They were delivered by the Chinese to Korea in the amount of 8 pieces. Until recently, it was they who were at all parades. But in the last photo, the conveyor is already with a completely different cabin. What is it? Did the Koreans change the cab or were they able to set up production of these cars? In the first case, it's okay. They will not have more than 8 cars. And if they set up a release, then they can deploy a PGRK force. Here is the last detail yet unknown.

I have to disavow the previous answer. This is not the car that the Koreans drove in parades, but with a new cab. This is a completely different car. Now I just watched the video - the transporter is not eight-axis, as before, but NINE

[Dashout]

Well you are big-eyed .. Good luck and success!
