[ENG] [Preview] What is North Korea's ICBM...?

00000 North Korean missile types

: North Korea has a variety of missiles. The most important of these is the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). In addition, we are developing and producing various missiles such as medium-range missiles, short-range missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-submarine missiles, cannons, and rocket shells.

 

00000 ICBM full name and meaning

: ICBM stands for Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. This refers to intercontinental ballistic missiles. ICBMs are missiles that are used for strategic purposes and can fly long distances and accurately hit their final destination.

 

00000 ICBM mechanism

: ICBMs are usually rocket-based. When a missile is launched, a rocket engine propels it into orbit. When the missile leaves the atmosphere, the engine is turned off, and the missile maintains speed and propels it out of the atmosphere. After that, the missile flies to the preset target point and explodes at the final target point.

 

00000 Types of ICBM Missiles

:North Korea has a variety of ICBMs. The most famous of them are Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15. Hwasong-14 was first test-launched in July 2017, and several test-fires have been conducted since then. The Hwasong-15 was first test-launched in November 2017, and has also been test-launched several times.

 

00000 Characteristics of ICBM missiles

:ICBMs were developed for strategic purposes. This is for long-distance attacks between continents, and it is possible to strike quickly and accurately to the target point. ICBMs can usually deliver genomes, nuclear weapons, biological weapons, and more.

 

00000 Advantages and disadvantages of ICBM missiles

: The advantage of ICBMs is that intercontinental strikes are possible.

This is very useful for strategic purposes. However, ICBMs are difficult to develop and produce, are very expensive, and ICBMs are a military means that greatly enhances a country's military power and prestige. Possessing an ICBM allows it to negotiate with the international community on an equal footing with other countries, and strengthens its defense capabilities to protect its own security. Additionally, ICBMs can be converted into weapons of mass destruction at a fraction of the cost of a country's budget and efforts. Therefore, ICBMs play a major role in enhancing a country's military power and prestige. ICBMs may have negative implications for international security. Countries possessing ICBMs are more likely to be perceived as a military threat to other countries, which can increase international tension and lead to regional conflict. In addition, since ICBMs are very expensive and difficult to develop and produce, they are generally subject to strict regulation from the international community. It is subject to very strict regulations from the international community. In addition, launching an ICBM could have a negative impact on international security, as the response of other countries increases the likelihood that it will lead to war.

 

00000 North Korea's ICBM Current Level

:North Korea has conducted several ICBM test launches so far, and has Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15. Most of these missiles have achieved successful results in test launches, and North Korea is using these missiles as a means of military threat. North Korea's ICBM technology is not yet fully mature, but it is advancing through continuous development and testing.

In other words, on July 4, 2017, North Korea launched the Hwasong-14 missile, becoming an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) country. Afterwards, on July 28, 2017, the more advanced Hwasong-14 missile was launched, showing the possibility of hitting Alaska, USA, and on November 28, 2017, the more advanced Hwasong-15 missile was launched to hit the entire United States. showed ability.

 

00000 North Korea's ICBM Impact on the World

:North Korea's ICBM could have a negative impact on international security.

When North Korea possesses ICBMs, other countries have no choice but to respond because they cannot predict when and where North Korea will strike.

This can lead to side effects such as rising tensions in the international community, regional conflicts, and arms races. In addition, if North Korea uses ICBMs to pose a threat to the international community, the international community's response is unpredictable, which may further destabilize international security.

North Korea's ICBMs also have a major impact on relations with the United States. If North Korea possesses ICBMs, the United States must prepare countermeasures against North Korea's military might.

This could lead to costs such as increased defense spending and military strength in the United States, which could lead to domestic political divisions and tensions in the United States.

In addition, North Korea's ICBMs have a great impact on South Korea and Japan, allies of the United States related to regional security. If North Korea possesses an ICBM, South Korea and Japan must prepare countermeasures against a possible North Korean attack. This could lead to military buildup and increased armaments in these countries, which is likely to lead to domestic political divisions and tensions in these countries. North Korea's possession of ICBMs is causing extreme concern in the international community.

North Korea aims to alleviate sanctions and pressure from the international community, including the United States, while emphasizing its equal position with the United States through the launch of an ICBM.

However, North Korea's possession of ICBMs is having a negative impact on international security and stability, and has the potential to escalate tensions with the United States and exacerbate regional conflicts. In addition, North Korea's possession of ICBMs, along with its possession of nuclear weapons, is subject to strong sanctions and regulations from the international community.

The international community is applying strong sanctions and pressure to prevent North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and missiles.

North Korea's possession of ICBMs is negatively affecting regional security and stability while raising tensions with the United States.

The United States has made North Korea's ICBM launch and nuclear weapons a major target of its policy of pressure on North Korea, and North Korea's possession of an ICBM could further intensify the confrontation with the United States. In addition, North Korea's possession of ICBMs may exacerbate regional conflicts.

North Korea is raising concerns about regional security while emphasizing its equal position with the United States through the possession of ICBMs. The confrontation with the United States has the potential to affect not only the Korean Peninsula region, but also neighboring countries, and this situation could exacerbate regional conflicts.

Therefore, North Korea is subject to strong sanctions and regulations from the international community for possessing nuclear weapons as well as possessing ICBMs.

North Korea must stop developing nuclear weapons and missiles, and move toward denuclearization and securing regional security through dialogue and negotiations with the international community. In addition, the international community must apply stronger sanctions and pressure to prevent North Korea from possessing ICBMs and nuclear weapons, which will ensure regional security and stability. Finally, North Korea's ICBMs could hinder dialogue and cooperation with the international community.

If North Korea possesses ICBMs, the international community always has concerns about North Korea's military power when attempting to talk with North Korea.

This may hinder dialogue and cooperation between North Korea and the international community.

 

00000 Types of ICBMs and their characteristics

: There are many types of ICBMs, and there are various classification criteria depending on the engine used, projectile structure, flight path, and maneuverability.

In general, there are the following classifications.

Single Short-Range Ballistic Missile (SLBM): A variant of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) launched from a sea base, which has a relatively short range.

Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM): A ballistic missile that has the maximum range to cross continents.

Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM): A missile with a range intermediate between the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) and Single Short-Range Ballistic Missile (SLBM).

Small Nuclear Ballistic Missile (SAD): A small nuclear ballistic missile with portability and maneuverability that can replace ICBMs. North Korea currently has two types of ICBMs, the Hwasong-14 and the Hwasong-15.

Hwasong-14 has a range of 10,000 km and can reach as far as Alaska, USA.

The Hwasong-15 has a shorter launch time, higher maneuverability, a range of 13,000 km, and can strike the entire United States.

Possession of these ICBMs greatly enhances North Korea's military power and status, while raising concerns and tensions in the international community.

 

00000 The present and future of Korea's ICBM technology

: Currently, the Republic of Korea has no plans to possess or develop an ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile).

Instead, South Korea relies on its alliance with the United States and the US military's nuclear deterrence.

However, the Republic of Korea is introducing the Ballistic Missile Defense System (THAAD) along with the United States, and the National Defense Research Institute and domestic companies are working hard to develop mid-to-long-range missiles. In addition, the government of the Republic of Korea is continuously increasing the defense budget to strengthen national defense capabilities, and is also revitalizing the military industry.

In the future, there is a possibility that South Korea will also try to develop an ICBM, but this may vary depending on its relationship with the international community and the regional security situation. In addition, the Republic of Korea will face difficulties in various aspects such as technical, economic, and political necessary for ICBM development.

However, it is evaluated that it is necessary for the Republic of Korea to strengthen its response capabilities, including nuclear weapons, in addition to its existing nuclear deterrence.

To this end, it is necessary to enhance the technological prowess of the domestic military industry, continuously strengthen military power, and make cooperative diplomatic efforts.

And the Republic of Korea has shown excellent technological achievements in the development of medium- and long-range missiles. Most of the missiles currently in service in South Korea are classified as mid-range missiles. Representatively, there are 'Hyundai Hwangsan-2', 'Sayru II', 'Chollima-2', and 'Hananiro'.

The Hyundai Hwangsan-2 missile is the most representative mid-to-long range missile developed by the Republic of Korea.

The maximum range is between 500 and 1,000 km, and warheads against North Korea or nuclear warheads can be installed. Sayru II is the Republic of Korea

 

00000 Difference Between Missile and Rocket

: Both missiles and rockets work on similar principles, but they are different because they have different purposes and uses. Generally, a missile is a weapon that is launched from land or sea to attack a target.

The missile maintains its altitude and speed after launch, and attacks by accurately detecting the target through the mounted guidance device. Missiles are usually classified into ballistic missiles and guided missiles.

Ballistic missiles fly using atmospheric gravitational waves and, after launch, cannot be controlled, but follow a pre-calculated path to hit the target. On the other hand, guided missiles can be directly controlled in flight after launch, and detect and track targets through onboard sensors.

A rocket is a vehicle for space exploration, mainly used for space exploration, satellite launch, and flight beyond the atmosphere.

Rockets, like missiles, are launched using the principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. After launch, rockets gain altitude and speed, usually with only simple directional control. Unlike missiles, rockets are not weapons that attack targets, but are used to transport objects or operate aircraft. Thus, missiles are launched using ballistics or guidance systems to attack targets, while rockets are primarily used as vehicles to explore space.

Also, missiles and rockets differ in how they are launched.

Rockets are usually launched vertically, and after reaching high altitudes, they usually fly horizontally.

On the other hand, missiles usually fly in a horizontal direction after launch, and when they reach a designated altitude, they use atmospheric gravity waves to fly out of the atmosphere and attack the target. Also, rockets usually fly while consuming fuel. This is essential for rockets to gain speed and altitude.

Missiles, on the other hand, usually use fuel for initial acceleration after launch. However, once it leaves the atmosphere, it uses less fuel because it uses atmospheric gravity waves to fly.

Thus, missiles and rockets differ in purpose, intended use, launch method, and fuel consumption. Also, missiles and rockets have historically been developed for different purposes. Rockets are mainly used in space development, such as space exploration, satellite launch, and space stations.

Missiles, on the other hand, are used for military purposes, usually to attack enemy military installations, nuclear weapons, and ballistic missiles. Because of these differences, missiles and rockets have different technical requirements. Rockets require high-performance propulsion systems to leave the atmosphere and fly in outer space.

On the other hand, missiles have more important technical requirements to use the atmospheric gravity waves required to fly in the atmosphere. Missiles and rockets also play an important role in the defense sector in that they were developed for military use. In particular, missile and rocket technologies have recently developed rapidly and are widely used not only for military use to enhance combat power, but also for space development.

Finally, missiles and rockets are treated differently by the international community. Rockets are mostly used internationally for space exploration, satellite launches, and space research. On the other hand, missiles are likely to be used for military purposes, so international regulations are tightening.

This is because missile development and introduction are highly likely to be perceived as an international security threat. However, as missile technology develops, the area in which missiles can be used is expanding, and international regulation is becoming more important.

Thus, missiles and rockets differ in purpose, use, launch method, and international treatment. By understanding these differences, understanding the technical characteristics of each, and using them for their appropriate purposes, we will be able to lead the future in the field of defense and space development.

That's right. In particular, missile and rocket technology is one of the important factors determining military power and economic development.

Therefore, various countries are intensifying research and development, production and introduction in this field. But with these developments, international regulation and cooperation are needed for international security and stability. In particular, the linked development of nuclear weapons and missile technology is raising great concerns in the international community.

Accordingly, international efforts are needed to prevent security threats from nuclear proliferation and missile launches. Also, missiles and rockets play a big role in space development.

The space business is experiencing rapid growth, and large-scale space development projects come with many technological challenges.

Therefore, great achievements are expected in the new space industry along with the development of rocket technology. Collectively, missiles and rockets play an important role in various fields.

Based on this, countries need to proceed with research and development in an appropriate direction, and strive to secure security and stability through international cooperation and regulation. Also, the development of missiles and rockets plays a big role in space development. Humanity is deeply interested in space development, and technological challenges to space travel and space development continue.

Rocket technology is expected to play a more important role in these fields. For example, rocket technology is needed to develop and launch space stations, satellites, probes, and spacecraft for space travel. In addition, rocket technology is essential in new space development fields such as solar system exploration and space resource development.

But at the same time, these developments require international efforts for security and stability in the international community. In particular, the linked development of nuclear weapons and missile technology is raising great concerns in the international community.

Accordingly, international efforts are needed to prevent security threats from nuclear proliferation and missile launches. Advances in rocket technology also affect environmental issues.

Rocket launches can cause environmental problems such as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Therefore, along with the development of rocket technology, efforts to solve environmental problems are also required. Collectively, missiles and rockets play an important role in various fields.

Based on this, countries need to proceed with research and development in an appropriate direction, and strive to secure security and stability through international cooperation and regulation. In addition, along with the development of rocket technology, efforts to solve environmental problems are also required.

 

00000 Missile performance and types

: Missiles are generally used to attack targets.

After launch, the missile flies along a certain trajectory to detect and attack the target.

A missile's performance depends on a number of factors. Range: A missile's range is the projectile's maximum flight distance. The longer the range, the wider the attackable area, and you can attack from any point you want.

Accuracy: A missile's accuracy refers to how well it can clearly hit an attacking target.

Missiles with high accuracy can accurately detect and attack targets.

Combat Load: The combat load of a missile refers to its destructive power against an attacking target. A higher combat load allows you to hit your target more powerfully.

Flight speed: The flight speed of a missile is the speed at which it reaches its target. Its high flight speed allows it to quickly reach its target, bypassing or penetrating defense systems.

 

00000 Rocket performance

: The performance of a rocket is basically determined by the efficiency of propulsion and fuel use.

Rockets mostly use solid, liquid, or gas fuels, and performance varies depending on the type of fuel and how it is used. Momentum is the amount of force generated when a rocket is launched.

The more thrust a rocket has, the faster it can go and the higher altitude it can reach. The efficiency of fuel use represents the relationship between the amount of fuel used and the thrust generated. The higher the efficiency, the higher the performance.

 

00000 Type of rocket

: Rockets are mainly used for space development, satellite launch, and probe launch. Rockets are largely divided into fixed-wing rockets and variable-wing rockets, and further classified into liquid fuel, solid fuel, and hybrid fuel. Fixed-Wing Rocket: The rocket's wings are fixed to maintain its trajectory.

Examples include intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and scout rockets.

Variable Wing Rocket: The rocket's wings deform to control its trajectory. Examples include spacecraft, satellites, and missiles.

Liquid fuel rocket: A rocket that generates thrust by burning a mixture of oxygen and fuel. Liquid-fueled rockets are powerful, maneuverable, and difficult to reuse.

Representatively, there are Fuzzyple, Bullaventer, and Apollo. 123 North Korea's Obsession with ICBMs and the Future There are many reasons why North Korea is obsessed with ICBM development. Among them, the biggest reason is that North Korea transports its nuclear weapons as intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) to increase its nuclear threat to countries around the world, including the United States. While possessing this nuclear threat, North Korea seeks to gain greater bargaining power in coordinating the situation with the United States, gain international respect, and maintain domestic political stability.

Looking at the status of North Korea's ICBM development, it has recently succeeded in launching an ICBM called Hwasong-15. This ICBM was developed using North Korea's top-notch technology and has a range that can strike most areas in the United States.

As a result, tensions between the US and North Korea continue to rise.

It is difficult to predict what will happen to North Korea's ICBM development or nuclear weapons development in the future. However, North Korea is likely to devote more resources and time to developing ICBMs and developing nuclear weapons.

Without a diplomatic solution with the United States, North Korea is expected to acquire a more dangerous nuclear threat. In this situation, the international community must maintain strong sanctions and pressure on North Korea and strengthen diplomatic efforts against North Korea.
