North Korea successfully launches long-range rocket

SLBM launch that was carried out in August. It looks impressive. But a question to the experts. What are these hot debris falling down we see in the video. Once when the missile comes out of water and then the second time when its up in the air. Is it a normal thing? But I don’t seem to remember having seen such things in other SLBM launches around the world.

From their report on Musudan MRBM launch that was carried out in June prior to the above SLBM launch. In that the missile covered a distance of around 400Km and they said it was launched at a high angle and reached an altitude of over 1,400Km. So anyone know what would be the range achieved if its fired in normal trajectory?

Also, can the mods plz merge all these threads into one.

Congratulations to North Korean engineers. Its a big feat for them considering the sanctions and the pressure from the regime they are under.

History of US aid to NK

http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/row/R40095.pdf

Blaming North Korean food shortages on fat Americans, come on Mack, thats is a stretch……NK is really in a league of its own compared to most American geopolitical enemies (imagined or real).
No need to embellish on how realistically failed that nation is.

You really want to get with me into this kind of discussion SpudmanWP? YOU talk about starving ? Well apparently your fellow countrymen are something like a third or more FAT. As in obese. As in eating too much. Also your fellow countrymen waste phenomenal amounts of food, mind boggling quantities aparently. Yet your same country REFUSES to give even some symbolic aid to the North Koreans, because according to some the “finer” examples of your countrymen on the net, “they only give it to the military, we don’t feed our enemies, hurrah!”. Boy, sending some damn cans of food in NK is like sending them weapons or something!

They are subjected to all kinds of embargos of every imaginable type, instigated or enforced by USA. North Koreans starve because of that. Did your all powerful no 1 superpower country made any honest effort to actually negociate in a reasonable way with North Korea? What is the US Governments idea of peace, “oh, all you have to do is have your leadership hanged as human rights abusers and we send occupation troops in your country and install a puppet government, and there will be peace” ? Should i start about Cuba ? Or Iran? The propaganda offensive against China? Or others? You have grown surrounded by a certain type of society (racism and xenophobia are at it’s pillars in my opinion) and propaganda and you probably believe into all that “America f**yeah !” stuff, but the real world out there , and the real facts , are rather different than in your propaganda. And you know , when you see all the world wide hostility and scathing criticism towards your country (and that include western Europeans, btw), and it’s “self-appointed policeman of the world” actions, perhaps it’s not that there’s something wrong with all those (communists lovers , socialists or whatever you call them) peoples around the world, but there something seriously wrong with YOUR country. But i don’t expect your fellow countrymen (or most of them anyway) to accept that.

Like i was saying, if peace is wanted, it can be achieved in the Korean peninsula (and anywhere else ). But it’s more useful for the US that the North Koreans starve, so that the leadership is increasingly more ruthless so that US can say “oh look at the “wacky” North Koreans, come on buy our sh*t and have our troops in your country, we will protect you!!! “. A never ending circle.

Anyway , sorry for the rant , mods my humblest apologies. Some things just need to be said. 🙁

Seriously? NK is run by a bunch of lunatics that would rather starve their people in order to appear strong.

I am not sure what kind of controls are in place, but I would not put it past the crazy nut-bag in charge to push the button on his deathbed and there not be any kind of override.

Says who? American propaganda? No thanks. There CAN be peace in the korean peninsula, and there CAN be a better life for the North Koreans, but they are more “useful” for the american geostrategical interests being “wacky” as you say. God forbid a semblance of relative peace between the Koreas, what excuse will they use to base their military in South Korea and elsewhere then? Or those tens and hundreds of billions of weapons sales to “protect” against this huge “menace” ? No, peace is no good for bussiness eh? 😡

It’s because NK is wacky enough to use it offensively and not just for satellites.

So how come the yanks are allowed to launch how many missiles into space as they want, but NK is not. (including stuff like that X-37, i thought militarization of space is not permitted under various treaties). So much foaming and badmouthing for a bloody satellite. Hypocrites.:mad:
