CNN) U.S. intelligence satellites have spotted signs that North Korea may be preparing for an unprecedented launch of a mobile ballistic missile which could potentially hit portions of the U.S., CNN has learned.
Opinion: Impose sanctions on North Korea's enablers
Two U.S. officials told CNN that if the regime proceeds with a launch, the latest assessments are the most likely scenario is the launch of the so-called Musudan missile, which the U.S. believes could potentially hit Guam and perhaps Shemya Island in the outer reaches of Alaska's Aleutian chain.
However, officials are strongly saying there are two other scenarios that are possible: North Korea could launch either its Kn-08 or Kn-14 mobile ballistic missiles which would have a longer range and could potentially hit the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The Kn-14 is thought to be a more precise version of the Kn-08, and it is believed the regime showed it for the first time at a military parade in 2015, officials say.

In other news, Portland and Seattle just got nuked by the NORKS... and there’s a frost advisory tonite...
So Chia Chub want be on FV Northwestern next season he wouldn’t last
The estimates are around 5kilotones, [or 5 Hiroshima sized devices (as detonations are measured) would do it. And with the current tech. that is out there, this is a very easy size to deploy.
Guam Approx 2100 miles (3350 km)
Honolulu Hawaii Approx 4500 miles (7270 km)
Anchorage Alaska Approx 3675 miles (5900 km)
Dont think fat boy can hit any of these....
And how about we just shoot it down this time? Again? Perhaps just JDAM the whole site with a 2,000 pounder?
Perfect depiction of a NORK missile launch. They have no idea where its going. I pray they land one in Bejeing square and then Mayhap the ChiComs will get rid of the NK hierarchy and set that country free or at least feed them.
Good. Maybe now the wrath that this Gomorrah of a country so richly deserves will now be meted out.
It’d be a better country after most Democrat voters died off.
Made by the Acme rocket company.
OHH man we Freepers get all exclusive lately we have “sources” even in North Korea LOL!
I do like this rocket launch so cute
I stand corrected. I thought yield determined range of EMP effect for some reason. Thanks for correcting me :-)!
It is a real nightmare theory too. We have been discussing parts of it on the Weekly Prepper Thread. [Which I am filling on temp. author of it, due to Kartogpher taking care of his wife] There are several books that cover this as well.
Can we decide where it targets? Would you be so kind as to install a “RETURN TO SENDER” BUTTON
