North Korea: ¿From defeat in defeat to final victory?


Moon Seong Mook, a South Korean analyst and former military official, says that the North would gain valuable knowledge even from failed launches as it continues to improve its technologies for missiles: "They could be testing a variety of things, such as the thrust of the rocket engine or the separation of stages," Moon said. "A failure is a failure, but that doesn't mean the launch was meaningless."

North Korean ballistic missile tests are banned by the United Nations because they're seen as part of the North's push for a nuclear-tipped missile that can hit the U.S. mainland.

North Korean missile tests


North Korea has launched five missile tests so far in 2017. The latest launch in mid-April, though assessed as a failure, came hours after North Korea rolled out intercontinental ballistic missiles and other military hardware at a big parade to celebrate the birthday of the country's late founder, Kim Il Sung, a grandfather of current leader Kim Jong UnThe festivities took place amid concerns that North Korea is possibly preparing for its sixth nuclear test or a significant rocket launch, such as its first test flight of an ICBM. Let us see -briefly- some details about each of the five tests that have already occurred this year:

Feb. 12

In February, North Korea successfully tested a land-based KN-15 missile, a new solid-fuel intermediate-range missile, which traveled 310 miles into the Sea of JapanGen. John Hyten, the commander of U.S. Strategic Command labeled the launch as “a major advancement” by North Korea because it was "a new solid medium range ballistic missile off a new transporter erector launcher."

March 6

In early March, North Korea launched five medium-range Scud-type missiles. Shortly after this test occurred, the U.S. delivered the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system to South Korea, a process which the U.S. started working on with its ally after the flurry of North Korean missile tests in 2016. THAAD is a missile defense shield designed to intercept short and medium range missiles.

March 21

Later in the month, North Korea tested a mobile-launched missile which exploded "within seconds of launch," according to U.S. Pacific CommandU.S. officials did not identify what type of missile was tested since it exploded so soon after launch.

April 4

On April 4, a KN-17 missile launch came just days before Chinese President Xi Jinping met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago, during which the pair discussed how to curb North Korea's missile and nuclear programs. U.S. officials said the missile spun out of control and landed in the Sea of Japan after traveling 34 miles.

April 16

Less than two weeks later, North Korea launched another KN-17 that exploded shortly after launch.

Europe: ¿Risk of nuclear war?


Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told attendees of the Moscow Conference on International Security on Wednesday that the U.S.'s ballistic missile defense system, which includes a sophisticated network of land, air and sea assets, was "a serious obstacle on the way of consolidation of political stability."

Later at the same conference, Russia's Lieutenant General Viktor Poznikhir, first deputy chief of the General Staff's Main Operational Department, said computer simulations showed the European leg of the U.S.'s global missile shield was aimed at Russia and China, presenting a serious threat to Moscow's national security.

North Korea singles out Darwin


Australia’s Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne has laughed off North Korea’s latest claims against them, telling the US deployment in Darwin, the sixth and most complex US marine air-ground task force to be deployed to the territory, is not in any way a preparation for a conflagration on the Korean Peninsula: “Obviously, we want to avoid any such military action and we want the North Koreans to behave as well as they can, like reasonable, international citizens. That means ending their missile testing and not preparing for a nuclear war with either the United States, Japan, South Korea or anyone else for that matter."

Mr. Pyne added North Korea does not yet have the capability to put a nuclear warhead on a ballistic missile that would reach Australia, “And one of the reasons why the Trump administration is strengthening its attitude in North Korea is to avoid North Korea ever having that capability. For that reason, Australia supports the United States’ actions very strongly and we call on China to take the lead role as the nation with the most influence over North Korea in bringing that about.”

Iron Dome: developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries, covers short range rockets and missiles (up to 70 km range)


David Sling: developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in cooperation with the IDF, covers medium range (70-300 Km range) missiles, rockets and UAVs


Arrow 3: developed by Israel Aerospace Industries and Boeing, covers long range ballistic missiles.

The problems with U.S. anti-missile defense system


President Trump's response to North Korea's ballistic missile tests, the anticipation of a sixth underground nuclear test and their threat to the U.S. and its allies was widely reported as he claimed to send a Naval strike group to the East China Sea. Prior to this, however, the President had also reportedly sent attack drones to the Korean Peninsula and the THAAD anti-missile defense system to South Korea, to protect them from possible incoming missiles from the North.

While the U.S. says that the THAAD system can target incoming short-range missiles with precision, government investigators, scientists and even former Former acting director and deputy director of the CIA Mike Morell are skeptical of the system that protects the U.S. from long-range missiles: In an April 14 interview with Michael Morell on Charlie Rose, the former intelligence official said that when the North Koreans tested multiple ballistic missiles at once in March and last year, it posed another threat because it showed what they hadn't shown before, that they could fire multiple missiles at their enemies and possibly overwhelm their defense systems.
