Without Russian Federation was not done: DPRK launched a new ballistic missile (photo)

" In South Korea, it is suspected that the technologies for improving the rocket Pyongyang received from Russia for sending soldiers to the war in Ukraine. About it reports Reuters. North Korea leader Kim Jong -in stated that the test was a warning to enemies that threaten the country's security. "The growing threats and challenges require us to continue to strengthen the modern strategic offensive armed forces and get ready for nuclear confrontation even more fully.

I assure that the DPRK will in no way change the course to strengthen the nuclear armed forces," he said. The demonstration of force occurs against the background of international indignation and increasing anxiety that the DPRK has sent several thousand of its military to Russia. The launch of the rocket caused immediate condemnation by South Korea, Japan and the US. Washington emphasized that such tests violate UN Security Council resolutions.

South Korea's leadership announced new sanctions against the DPRK in response to provocations. A day earlier, Seoul referred to military intelligence data, which suggests that the North can carry out a test launch of the IBR or the seventh nuclear test on the eve of the US presidential election on Tuesday, seeking to draw attention to its growing military power.

Shin son, the head of the North Korea Armed Forces research at the State Korean Institute for Defense Analysis, said that the launch was most likely aimed at checking the improved characteristics of the accelerator of the existing IBR - perhaps with the help of Russia. "North Korea will continue to receive such assistance because it saves time and money, while increasing the productivity and stability of the weapons system," he said.

According to the tire, it can also be Pyongyan's response to pressure through his interaction with Russia. "Perhaps the intention is to show that the country will not be pressured that it will respond by force on force, and try to influence the US presidential election," the tire said.

According to South Korea, launching on Thursday, October 31, became the longest test of North Korea ballistic missile: flight time was 87 minutes, which means the potential flight range of 15 thousand kilometers according to a normal trajectory. The Hwasong-18 rocket can reach any point on the US mainland theoretically. During the trials, it fell about 200 km west of the Japanese island Okusiri, near Hokkaido. According to the Government of Japan, the rocket flew a distance of 1000 km.

The so -called sublime trajectory of a projectile that flies at a sharp angle is designed to check its thrust and sustainability at much shorter distances of relatively projected range, partly for safety reasons and in order to avoid the political consequences of sending a rocket far to the Pacific. The latest North Korea IBR, named Hwasong-18, was tested in December 2023.

It works on solid fuel and starts from the road starting unit, it was also launched at a sharply increased angle and flew for 73 minutes. Answering the question about launching the rocket, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China Lin Lin Jian said that China "always believed that peace and stability, as well as facilitating the political solution of the peninsula, were in the common interests of all parties.

" The trials took place just a few hours after the US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and his South Korean colleague Kimen Hen met to discuss the departure of the DPRK troops to Russia. According to them, Kim provided President Vladimir Putin for up to 12,000 soldiers to participate in the war against Ukraine. Some number of these forces can also be used in the Kursk region, from where the Russians try to displace the Armed Forces.
