UDMH isn’t any kind of breakthrough, as we used it in our Titan II ICBMs in the 60’s.

It’s the engine technology that should be of concern.

Okay, then we have one more target for our first strike.

If any of the major “must haves” can be denied Kim, he’ll have equipment sitting in North Korea with no place to go.

China, perhaps Russia, like the idea of a small nation like North Korea being able to strike the U.S.

It removes Moscow and Beiging from the list of retaliatory strike targets.

I don’t think there’s any doubt China and Russia are helping, and that is pretty much proven by Russia running cover for Iran, so it can also become a nuclear armed nation.

Agreed. The advantage of UDMH and MMH is either is hypergolic in the presence of nitrogen tetroxide or nitric acid. This technology was known and commonly used since the 1960s.

Besides rocket fuel, the F-16 and space shuttle, for example, use MMH for their APUs.

Seems the media reporting this is decades behind the technological reality.

“China, perhaps Russia, like the idea of a small nation like North Korea being able to strike the U.S.”

This is what I have been thinking all along. NK is not “alone” in this endeavor.

No, I don’t think it is. I’ll bet it has been transferring a lot of information to Iran too. As has Russia IMO.

As I understand it, bombs have key signatures. That may be just movie madness, but if true, it would be very interesting if the N.K. nukes key signatures were almost identical to either Russia’s or China’s nukes.

Well, at least rocket man is not using Dioxygen Difluoride. That would really give him some range.

Have the Clintons moved on from selling US rocket designs to the Chinese and US Uranium to the Russians?

Have they now started selling rocket fuel formulas to the NORKs?

The author exposes his ignorance.

Liquid fueled rockets are not our worry.

It’s the solid fueled rockets that are an existential threat as they can be fired without staging or warning.

Let the NORKs have UDMH. If you even glance at it sideways, it’ll give you cancer.

Titan II. Damascus incident, 9 mt bomb exploded from fuel leak caused by a dropped wrench. Warhead stayed intact.

75 ton door to the silo flew off like a Frisbee cutting down trees.
