North Korea is ready to test-fire an intercontinental ballistic missile at a normal trajectory, leader Kim Jong Un’s sister said in state media
North Korea is ready to test-fire an intercontinental ballistic missile at a normal trajectory, leader Kim Jong Un’s sister said Tuesday in state media, a flight pattern that could prove the weapons can threaten the continental United States.
M technology progress, specifically about the reentry capability of its weapons. Ms are fired into space, where they speed along outside the atmosphere before their payloads – nuclear warheads – undergo a fiery reentry process, much like a space shuttle or space capsule, before plunging down on their targets. If the process isn’t executed with pinpoint accuracy and with materials that can withstand the immense heat generated, the warhead would burn up before reaching its target. The angle at which the warhead reenters the atmosphere can make the process more difficult.
Ms reentry into the atmosphere has not been recognized or verified,” Kim Yo Jong said. “It seems obvious that they will try to disparage our strategic weapon capabilities with such a logic that it cannot be proven by a lofted-angle launch alone, and that it can only be known by firing at a normal angle…I’ll give an easy answer to that. We can try it soon and once you see it, you’ll know.
M, the Hwasong-17 – a missile that could theoretically reach the mainland US. That was one of a record 35 occasions this year on which North Korea has tested missiles. Western officials and experts are also expecting Pyongyang to test a nuclear warhead at any time. If that test comes, it will be its first since 2017. On Sunday, North Korea fired two ballistic missiles that the South Korean military analyzed to be mid-range ballistic missiles .
