South Korean intelligence: DPRK has completed the construction of a "secret" submarine

April 12 2021

The North Korean navy will soon receive the latest submarine. According to intelligence in South Korea and the United States, the DPRK has completed the construction of a secret submarine.

The intelligence of the United States and South Korea came to the conclusion that the DPRK has completed the construction of a submarine with a displacement of 3 thousand tons and will soon hold a demonstration of the submarine. It is not ruled out that during the demonstration of the new submarine, Pyongyang will launch some kind of ballistic missile intended to be placed on it.

North Korea chooses the right time to present the submarine with the greatest strategic effect, including increasing pressure on the United States

- said a spokesman for US intelligence on condition of anonymity.

The construction of new submarines by North Korea became known in 2019. According to South Korean intelligence, one of the submarines was built according to a modernized version of a Romeo class submarine (Soviet medium diesel submarine of project 633, the project of which was transferred to the DPRK by China), the second - according to an unidentified project related to medium or large submarines.

The new submarine is likely to carry the North Korean ballistic missile Pukkykson-3 (Polar Star-3) with a range of about 2 kilometers. According to the information, the submarine has three launch silos for a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.

  If Pook 3 makes it to the shores of Florida ... a massive bunch will begin on its beautiful beaches.
  I can imagine how Biden sends the aircraft carrier in response. Eun responds with Pook ... that will be a sight.

      During World War II, Japan sent its submarines to the shores of America, and even carried out a bombing raid, though not very successful. Why can't North Koreans repeat this at a higher level after all this time?

        I do not argue, it was as well as the fact that the Japanese states were going to bomb with incendiary bombs from balloons (according to the wind rose), we ourselves have difficulties with SSBNs entering the launch zones, I think that Korea has little chance of banging across America

        The most interesting thing is that no one knows exactly how much the real range of S. Korea's missiles is, while they only launch at the maximum apogee, the distance is not enough （not Kura）

  North Korean leader Kim Jong-un admitted that the country will go through hungry times. In the DPRK, many embassies and humanitarian organizations have already curtailed their work. The reason for the total food shortage was the super-strict coronavirus quarantine. The authorities are afraid that the enemies of the people and saboteurs will try to bring the COVID virus into the country. Therefore, food imports from abroad are blocked.
  The leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un, admitted that large-scale famine threatens his country. Speaking on Thursday at the 1995th conference of party secretaries of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), the North Korean leader urged to prepare for a repetition of the "Difficult Campaign." This is what the official terminology calls the mass famine of 1997-XNUMX, which, according to UN estimates, claimed the lives of two million people.
  
  “I decided to ask the WPK organizations at all levels, including the central committee, and all cell secretaries of the entire party to start a new, even more difficult campaign,” the state news agency TsTAK quoted “dear comrade Kim Jong-un” as saying. This is the first time a North Korean leader has drawn parallels with the situation in the 90s ....
  
  In the same speech, Kim complained that local party cells have to work in difficult conditions, and mentioned some mistakes in the work of the WPK organizations that need to be corrected.
  
  Kim said the DPRK is facing the "worst" situation due to several factors, including the coronavirus pandemic, US-led sanctions and severe flooding that the country experienced last summer. Note that there are no officially massive cases of COVID-19 in North Korea, due to the fact that the country's leadership closed the borders and introduced a high alert mode back in January 2020.
  
  ..in 2020, after the border of North Korea and China was closed as part of strict measures to combat the pandemic, the trade turnover between the DPRK and almost its only serious economic partner decreased by 80%.

        I would not underestimate the possibilities and prospects of the DPRK. In any case, some kind of hidden diplomatic games between the two Koreas are being conducted regarding unification. Imagine the unification of these two countries with discipline - North Korea and technological progress - South Korea and you get a powerful state in the region. China and Japan will sit and breathe, every other time .. In technical and political terms, nothing impossible for these countries will exist. As for political prisoners and famine, we ourselves had it in the 30s. We should keep quiet ...

  Kim protects her skin. By the way, it was the DPRK at 4 o'clock in the morning on June 25, 1950 / almost like Hitler's / that attacked the South Caucasus. The blitzkrieg of the Chukhcheists failed. They got it in full, they just wanted to attack ...
  Well, it will not lie either under the United States, or under China, and even more so under Russia.
  
  Bearing in mind the transcendental level of sacralization, the cult of personality, total control, brutal suppression of dissent, in fact, the Kim dynasty crushed the whole country and the people under itself.
  They live quietly their lives!
  
  Quiet in the gulag ... You would hardly want to live there. The North Korean themselves flee performing miracles in the wines, and many perish.

And they immediately attack a specific people or state with grievances and rudeness!
        Probably these aggressive individuals react as they consider their opinion to be the opinion of all Russians, humanity, androids, etc. ?!

        You probably know what it is called, the term is not new. Great power chauvinism. The problem begins when a decent percentage of people in society begin to suffer from such a disease. Indeed, in order for the whole body to fall ill, it does not need most or even half or a quarter. When I read about it, either 14 or 17% of the active adult population is enough, and the epidemic can be considered a complete one.

        That is almost more. True, such things as COVID are quite suitable for generating social epidemics, if they do not go differently. You see for yourself what is happening in the world.

    If you do not know anything about the camps in the DPRK (of three types), there is nothing to compare them with the GULAG (the letter abbreviation of one of the structural units of the NKVD of the USSR) ... about which you also do not know anything ...

      All who participated. Most of all, those on whose land all this happened. You won't want to repeat any of them.

    Judging by the minuses, as many as 6 people consider the gulag a proudly progressive form of life, if only against the "marching men".

      Phenomenon! They probably think that there will be guards, not prisoners. After all, a gulag guard is almost a "deity of local importance"! A dream for individuals who failed to come true in normal life!

The new submarine is likely to carry the North Korean ballistic missile Pukkykson-3 (Polar Star-3) with a range of about 2 kilometers. According to the information, the submarine has three launch silos for a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
They are building slowly, but without stopping. What difference does it make that they have a "paravoz", it pulls its train forward without stopping ... that's a fact.

including increased pressure on the US
Pressure on the United States from the DPRK? Aren't the Americans exercising constant military-political pressure on North Korea and putting pressure on it with sanctions? One new Korean submarine is already causing such concern that it becomes clear that the Americans are heroes in words, but in deeds ...

And no more is needed, one for Seoul, Tokyo and Fr. Guam (or Anchorage, where the Chinese comrades were offended) ....

Quote: Lech from Android.
If Pook 3 makes it to the shores of Florida ... a massive bunch will begin on its beautiful beaches.
I can imagine how Biden sends the aircraft carrier in response. Eun responds with Pook ... that will be a sight.

And it will not reach Moscow, across the Pacific and Atlantic oceans ??? Geography you probably regularly skipped? From North Korea to Florida, more than 16 km. Where should a rocket boat with a range of 000 km be located? Somewhere in the middle of Texas? And how many kilometers submerged can boats of this class pass? Kilometers 2000-300 EMNIP? So she will not even come out of the Sea of Japan, as she will be forced to emerge. To strike Hawaii (with missiles of this range), it must always go exclusively on the surface. How long will she be drowned once it becomes clear where she is going ???

I doubt that the elite will get it

During World War II, Japan sent its submarines to the shores of America, and even carried out a bombing raid, though not very successful. Why can't North Koreans repeat this at a higher level after all this time?

Yes, if only because Japan at that time dominated the Pacific Ocean (when it threw beans on the States). Boats could go on the surface, refuel from surface tankers. And now? Does North Korea have the ability to send its tanker (more precisely, tankers) along the route of the boat to the United States ??

Okinawa or Hawaii - what's the difference for North Koreans?

No difference. In both cases, after that, the DPRK will cease to exist as a state.

More definitely not necessary. After that, there will be a dragon-shaped North Korea ...
