In the DPRK, work is underway to eliminate the missile range: Puckgukson-2 will not fly?

43
The authorities of the DPRK have begun to completely eliminate the key test site, designed to test the engines of the latest ballistic missiles, the portal reports 38 North with reference to the opinion of US experts.



According to pictures from space, the infrastructure of the test bench has been dismantled to date. Work on its liquidation began in early May and was completed on the 19 of the same month.

According to experts, the Ihari test site, located north of Kuson, was the only known place to test the engines of the latest solid-fuel rocket Pukguksong-2. The test rocket launch was conducted in February 2017 of the year.

According to experts, the new satellite photos will make it possible to say with confidence that the stand has now been completely eliminated. Work is underway to destroy related infrastructure.

Recall that in late May, the DPRK leadership announced the destruction of three mines at the Phungheri nuclear test site. An agreement on this was reached at the talks of Kim Jong-un with the President of the Republic of Korea, Mun Jae-in. At the meeting, the heads of state declared their intention to sign a peace treaty that would officially end the state of war between the North and the South.

In a few days (June 12), a US-DPRK summit is scheduled to take place in Singapore. The parties are actively preparing for it. Recently, Donald Trump said that a one-day meeting with the DPRK leader might not be enough to discuss all the issues.

    Well actually to the news about the knees. If nuclear weapons - one could still say - that it is not necessary, there is a charge, and the rest is simulation. That is a motor training ground - it is always needed if missiles are going to do. And before the United States, they didn’t do reliable. Therefore, it is rather part of the deal.

        It is doubtful when Eun came to power, he began to cut down the pro-Chinese party, to cut down in the literal sense of the word. This caused terrible discontent in Beijing, it came to the point that China had advanced an army of 400 thousand people to the DPRK border and began to conduct demonstrative exercises. But Eun did not make any concessions and continued to reduce the influence of the PRC on the country. The Chinese just wanted to push him to reform in their own image.

          In the USA, Russia and China, polygons are also minimized. This does not mean that they abandoned nuclear weapons, or that new developments are not being conducted.
          Just the information accumulated earlier is enough to conduct all tests in the calculations of a mathematical model on a computer.

        In fact, only a security guarantee can be offered in return. Russia and China can theoretically easily act as such guarantors and practically deploy their forces in the DPRK in the same way as the "peace-loving" South Korea in whose territory the largest US military bases in Asia are located.
        The second option, possibly after the official demonstration of the facts of the presence of rocket and nuclear technologies and weapons, now there is no need to escalate the situation further and spend resources on the “invention of the bicycle”. All this can easily be provided by the partner countries of the DPRK, without advertising of course. This could become a serious trump card in the negotiations if the situation further escalates according to the Iraqi or Libyan scenario.

                According to my theory of causation, Sev. In any case, Korea will come to a market economy. They introduced the minimum market mechanisms in the Union of Artists when there is absolutely nothing to eat, now they will also introduce it in the economy when the economy is gone (or rather, it is no longer there). If they reunite, then this will be done faster, as in Germany. And it will be very good for North Korea, they will miss the stage when the Communists will build a market economy, as in Russia.

But the limits of human creativity and non-standard thinking are unknown. The probability of playing cat and mouse on the eve of negotiations is always high. Well, here are some such arguments ...

      Eun is doing the right thing with nuclear weapons. The DPRK has its own carriers too (of course, the US will not hit), but they will be able to take revenge in case of an invasion. It's time to deal with the economy and the unification of the Korean people Molodtsa Eun.

    North Korea has already achieved the desired effect, all that was needed - the world saw. Therefore, in the near future no tests should be, at least open. And the United States can convince itself and its allies as much as they want that the DPRK does not have ICBMs of sufficient range to get them.

    1. What does reliable to USA mean? They have at least two successful satellites with 3 power LV, 4 successful launches of the first stage light ICBMs, 2 successful double-degree light ICBMs and one successful launch of a new heavy double-degree ICBM. With children, the second decade of the 21st century is now, and technology still went a little ahead than half a century ago.
    2. The development of BR for submarines on solid fuel also ended with several successful feedings last year. So this old stand they no longer need. Otherwise, they did not miss the opportunity to invite juralists to demonstrate peacefulness.
    With children, all children demonstrating peace with explosions at the training grounds and stopping eating are not done to appease or that the United States will like the bi, but to improve relations with China and South Korea. China and South Korea are pushing the DPRK to negotiate with the United States for which the North Koreans have no interest.

      Well, he really has no choice now. The main buyer of everything and at the same time the main supplier of fuel and scarce goods to the economy (China) - joined the sanctions, in fact imposing a blockade.

      The United States is comfortable with the current situation - if negotiations, ok from a position of strength. If not - well, let it be, in such a situation, the DPRK will fail. For without China it’s difficult for them - there is neither fuel, nor necessary goods for the economy, not sales of their own goods. The Russian Federation also complies with sanctions. But this +/- was expected initially, in contrast to China, which previously ignored the sanctions regime.

    Comrad. The 38 North portal also does not work gods. And their interpretation of the event may not coincide with the real one. The stand may be dismantled, as well as the entire infrastructure associated with the stand, but for what? Either the DPRK authorities considered that the engines used on the BRDS are not powerful enough and engines of a completely different dimension are needed, or they simply decided to move the training ground to another place, because this is too close to the border with the South Caucasus. In the light of establishing contacts, moving the landfill away so that it doesn’t “irritate” is quite real. And the headline question: is it flying? Pukguksong-2 I consider it unsuccessful. It has already flown and EMNIP is already a multi-stage Pukguksong-3
    Is dismantling a stand part of the deal? HZ ...

    You can’t put a landfill in the tunnels. And the DPRK is not so rich as to make a double test site and not use it. And this not only tested the engines, but also launched rockets ...

    Well, Korea has MBRs, only no one knows how it will behave when flying to the maximum range. Purely theoretically, launches along steep, steep paths allow us to conclude that the rocket is theoretically capable of reaching a certain range (doubled path height). But it is theoretically. How the rocket will behave at its maximum range, what its KVO will be, whether the warheads will remain intact and operational upon entering the atmosphere - these issues have not been resolved by the Koreans for a banal reason.
