North Korea flaunts its 'cutting-edge' missiles

wrote Joseph S. Bermudez in the North Korea analysis site, 38 North.

"Should the new system be successfully integrated into the KPN and widely deployed it would represent a significant step towards redressing the service's obsolescence and increasing the threat poised to South Korean and U.S. Navy vessels in the region."

Bermudez also cautioned that this was only a "potential development" as North Korea's military has a "long history of slow and often poor system integration."



'Joint saber-rattling'


This year, North Korea has made the usual protestations of the joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises, which it has referred in the past as "joint saber-rattling."

It offered a nuclear moratorium earlier this year in exchange for canceling the joint exercises. But the U.S. rejected the proposal, with a State Department spokeswoman calling it a "false choice."

Through KCNA, North Korea has since denounced U.S. with its colorful slogans as: "Let's wipe out and annihilate the enemy and give death to him!" and warning that the U.S. "imperialists will face final doom."

After the Korean War, which ended with an armistice in 1953, the U.S. has maintained military personnel in South Korea. Based on a mutual defense treaty, the countries have carried out annual joint military exercises between U.S. units and South Korean armed forces, that they say are defensive in nature.

it's so called cutting edge missiles don't worry me... i am more worried about the thousands of artillery and rocket artillery pieces pointed at Seoul and all of Northern South Korea.

Interesting, this Kh35 clone. Even more, since looking at the vessel, its two gatling cannon and 14,5mm hmg are aimed with nothing more than ... plain ring sights. (i.e. platform is a sitting duck)
