“Confidential documents leaked to the United States reveal hyped-up ICBM force in North Korea’s fever ceremony evaluation”

Reuters reported on the 11th (local time) that there is also an evaluation by US government authorities that North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capabilities, which were recently shown at the feverish ceremony, “would have been exaggerated” in US government documents leaked online.

According to the report, the US government said in a document labeled secret, “It is highly likely that a number of ICBM mobile launch vehicles (TELs) that North Korea showed off at the military parade on February 8 were loaded with a system (missile) that does not work. ” he analyzed.

North Korea drew attention by unveiling more than 10 TELs equipped with the latest Hwasong-17 ICBM at the last military parade.

The document analyzed North Korea’s actions as “probably to show that it poses a sufficient nuclear threat to the United States.”

“North Korea introduced a system that does not work at the parade in order to mitigate the risk of actual missile damage by making the capabilities of its missile forces appear to be superior to those in reality,” it was evaluated.

In addition, North Korea predicted that for the next year, “because of difficulties related to (missile) tests and resource constraints, it will probably not be possible to mount operational missiles capable of striking all over the United States on all ICBM-class TELs shown at the parade.”

Reuters said the authenticity of the document could not be confirmed.
