South Korean and American intelligence agencies are gearing up for North Korea's another provocation as the transport and deployment of transporter-erecter-launcher (TEL) has been spotted in three to four regions in North Korea.
According to a government source Friday, a U.S. satellite recently captured images of North Korean ballistic missiles mounted on TEL being transported out of a hangar to somewhere in areas near Pyongyang and North Pyongan Province. Korean and U.S. military officials are keeping an eye on the situation as they view this as a sign of preparation for the launch of a missile comparable to Hwasong-14 inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) or Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM). Another probability is the North might be preparing for the launch of a new Hwasong-13 ICBM (solid engine) that has a longer maximum range than Hwasong-14.
Initially, it was expected that the North will carry out provocative actions on Tuesday, celebrating the anniversary of its ruling party's foundation. Sources claim that the North will push ahead with another missile provocation in response to the deployment of U.S. carrier strike group and nuclear-powered submarine to the Korean Peninsula.
The Ohio-class USS Michigan, an 18,000-metric ton submarine, arrived in the South Korean port of Busan Friday. The USS Ronald Reagan also arrived here in South Korea for a joint drill with South Korean military, which will be held in the East and West sea off South Korea from Oct 16 to 20, to prepare for the North's naval provocations. As many as 40 navy vessels, including the Aegis destroyer and submarines, combat aircrafts, attack helicopters and JSTARS will be deployed for the joint drill. "The North may carry out a simultaneous launch of ICBM and IRBM within a few days in protest against the U.S.'s show of military might," another source said.
P!
North Korea has seemed to be behaving pretty well recently.
That may, be about to change.
We will see.
Clever folks, these North Koreans. Just keep poking sticks at the “paper tiger”, and you find out what is behind the facade.
Whatever resources the North Koreans may be holding back now are sure to drain very quickly, once the spigot is opened.
For a comparable historical comparison, consider the position of Japan in 1941. With oil from California and what is now Indonesia cut off by embargo, it was clear that Japan, which then could only produce about 10$ of their peacetime needs domestically, was soon to be starved out altogether. Seizure of the oil producing areas of the Netherlands East Indies and Borneo was their lifeline, until they were finally interdicted as the war turned against them, with the engagements in the Philippines and Okinawa, cutting off the transport of oil from these southeast Asian sources. The Japanese were strangling, but defiant almost to the end.
Does North Korea wish that kind of outcome? Because it WILL happen if they persist.
It will be much worse this time. Want to see our mylar space weapon? NK cooked to 450 F in about an hour. Want too see rods from God. Yipeekiyea MF’s. Want to see Aurora drop a “few” bombs. Our military capability is beyond what Odumbo could harm. Nukes are so old school and they have no idea. Nukes are 1930’s tech. I love seeing their old school phones in military applications. Idiots. Led by an IDIOT.
Kim Jung Un should embrace his destiny. Be the spokesman for Pillsbury.
China once again using its neighbors to make headway in controlling the region by NK poking America a response would allow china to move on their desires
There is no doubt the US can turn NK into a sheet of glass.
BUT. Are SK, Japan and the US ready to pay the price?
Area of N Korea is about the size of Indiana.
Pretty sure we can pinpoint anything we want.
Is this about MULTIPLE launch sites being set up?
And if it is suspected to be just a “test” of A missile, then why would they need multiple launch sites being set up, and multiple missiles?
What am I missing?
Yes, it is possible to be paranoid with North Korea today, and yes paranoid they will seek to perform some sort of “first strike” and NOT on the U.S. but on South Korea to “soften it up” for an invasion.
It’s a defensive move... they’re saying ‘if you hit us we’ll still have the ability to hit you back’... One more reason to make the first strike the only strike needed.
Article...”images of North Korean ballistic missiles mounted on TEL being transported out of a hangar to somewhere in areas near Pyongyang and North Pyongan Province”.....
Looks like Fat Boys trying to show the elites in Pyongyang city he’s “protecting” them from US threats, which they do believe is happening. Which actually he’s protecting himself.
Yes....more than possible. This wouldn’t be happening without China being prepared for whatever outcome.
