North Korea: Hwasong-15 can carry a “super-heavy nuclear warhead”

Diane Shalem 2123 Views 17 Comments

After launching its longest-range missile test to date on Wednesday, the North Korean government claimed its Hwasong-15 was a new kind of intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of “carrying a super-heavy nuclear warhead and hitting the whole mainland of the US. The system has much greater advantages in its tactical and technological specifications and technical characteristics than the Hwasong-14,” the Pyongyang statement said. The test Wednesday was likely conducted with a dummy warhead equivalent in weight to a nuclear bomb.

    Unfortunately for someone, . . . the little fat man in North Korea will someday convince someone that he truly wants war, . . . and whoever he convinces, . . . will flatten NK like a fly on a concrete wall.

    I don’t see the Chinese being able (or very willing) to stop the little pumpkin. The only way, other than a defensive (preventive) action would be to assassinate the little guy and most of his staff (all at the same time) and destroy his missile sites. That would save many lives.

      That sort of thinking is exactly the reason they got themselves a bomb. A deterrent.
