However, it was analyzed that North Korea’s new weapon was introduced in a feverish ceremony, which included the intention not to stimulate the United States by choosing to show off instead of provocation.
Harry Kazianis, director of the US National Interest Institute, said: “Although North Korea has been hit by three typhoons this year, food insecurity, international sanctions and the threat of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19 ), the world will continue to develop long-range missile programs. I showed it, “he said.
“Much larger and clearly more powerful than any of North Korea’s weapons,” he said of the new ICBM. “This massive, highway-moving missile, probably the largest missile on the planet, has the ability to increase range or carry larger payloads.” It will be equipped. “
“North Korea’s new ICBM is much larger than the Hwaseong-15,” said Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Non-Proliferation Center at the Middlebury Institute for International Studies.
Ankit Panda, principal investigator for the National Association for Natural Sciences and Sciences, also said in a tweet that it was “the largest liquid-fueled missile that moves on roads.”
Non-proliferation expert Bipin Na and a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) said in a Twitter post: “North Korea continues to evolve into a ‘normal’ nuclear weapons power, with a focus on improving and increase the system. They don’t give up on that. ”
“This missile is a monster,” Melissa Hanham, a researcher at the Open Nuclear Network at Stanford University, told Reuters.
On the other hand, some experts evaluated that they chose to show off rather than provoke in relation to the message of passion. He also paid attention to statements made by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that “we will continue to strengthen the deterrence of war as a measure of self-defense.”
In a tweet, Bruce Klinger, Principal Investigator for the Heritage Foundation, said: “The passion was not provocative, it was boastful.”
“However, Kim Jong-un’s speech defined North Korea’s nuclear force as self-defense,” he said. “The clear message is that contrary to US claims, North Korea’s nuclear threat has not been resolved.”
Former North Korean intelligence officer with the National Intelligence Service (DNI), Marcus Galloskas, told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that “Yeong Byung-sik is a way to show the development of North Korea without being too provocative before the elections”.
Researcher Haenham also noted in a tweet that “North Korea showed off a huge new ICBM” and “but Kim Jong-un emphasized deterrence.”
Researcher Klingner also predicted that this is a “worrying development” and that “regardless of who is elected president of the United States, North Korea can expect the test launch of a new ICBM in early 2021.”
