Up to 60 warheads: Western experts estimated nuclear weapons in North Korea

The community of nuclear scientists from the United States is convinced that Pyongyang has materials "Uranus-235" and "Plutonium-239" to increase the nuclear arsenal. Before the New Year, Kim Jong-in, along with his daughter, examined the composition with KN-23 missiles, analogues of Russian "Iskander". North Korean nuclear warheads are estimated at 15 to 60 pieces. This was reported on January 2 by the South Korean Agency Yonhap with reference to data from foreign experts.

The North Korean leader Kim Jong -in continues to attract the attention of the world, declaring an exponential increase in nuclear bombs production, journalists said. According to Yonhap, the American nuclear scientist community (BAS) reported in September 2022 reported on the DPRK in the DPRK from 20 to 30 complete warheads.

Senior Researcher BAS Matt Cord and Nuclear Intelligence Manager Hans Kristensen believe that North Korea's nuclear arsenal consists of warheads that are installed on medium -range ballistic missiles. Stockholm International Institute for World Problems Research (SIPRI) in June 2022 cited similar figures. According to researchers, Pyongyang has materials "Uranus-235" and "Plutonium-239" for production of 45-55 warheads.

The Nagasaki University Research Center (Recna) in Japan estimated the number of North Korea nuclear warheads in Japan in June 2022. Based on such estimates, we can conclude that North Korea has already developed and has a significant number of nuclear warheads. Yonhap also noted that Kim Jong-in, along with his daughter Kim Zhu E, on the eve of the New Year, examined the composition with KN-23 missiles, which could carry a tactical nuclear charge.

There is also a ballistic missiles of Medium Dange "Bakon-12". "A special display of this scene can pose a hidden nuclear threat," experts said. The exact location of the North Korean leader was not indicated. The footage shows that they inspect about 10 missiles of Bakon-12 and about 10 mobile launches for KN-23 missiles, which are considered an analogue of Russian "Iskander".

This demonstration, according to journalists, should emphasize the need to use nuclear weapons as a means of protecting the safety of future generations. Kim Ju E is a symbol of future generations of North Korea. We will remind that on January 1 the DPRK declared a successful test of 600 mm RSZV KN-25, which can launch missiles with nuclear warheads. North Korea considers Vakon-17 missile the strongest strategic weapon in the world, which will impress American missile defense systems.
