“The US Central Intelligence Agency has assessed that North Korea’s ICBM will operate normally after re-entering the atmosphere.”

This is the content of a report published by the Heritage Foundation, an American conservative think tank, which evaluates North Korea as a serious threat to the United States.

ICBM’s core technology is to withstand a high temperature of 7,000 ° C when the launch vehicle leaves the atmosphere and re-enters, and North Korea has claimed to have acquired the related technology, but it has not been clearly confirmed.

The Heritage Foundation also said: “The USFK has assessed that North Korea’s range of Hwaseong-15 ICBMs can reach any part of the continental United States at 12,000,875 km.”

The secretary general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that nuclear activities are being analyzed in the Gangseon area near Pyongyang, North Korea.

Amid concerns about North Korea’s nuclear capabilities and activities, the Korean government is cautious.

The Defense Ministry emphasized that the observation that North Korea has secured re-entry technology requires further verification.

Previously, the United States succeeded in a mock test that shot down the ICBM from the sea, and it was interpreted that it was intended to counter the threat of North Korean missiles.

The new ICBM, which North Korea unveiled at the Labor Party’s 75th anniversary ceremony last month, is expected to be longer and thicker than the Hwaseong-15 type, making it more powerful in terms of range and firepower. .
