North Korea News: North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un recently announced that the first nuclear power -powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) would be built in his country. His move was seen as a major change in North Korea’s naval strength. Kim Jong called it a weapon capable of increasing nuclear power and attacking the US. But the reality turned out to be different from this.
According to experts, North Korea’s new submarine currently seems to be an attempt to remain in arms race, but technically it is far behind. Simply put, this submarine is like a twine bomb in front of the world’s most powerful navies.
Technically weak submarine
Kim Jong Un showed this submarine with great pride in a secret shipyard. North Korea’s government media claimed that it is the country’s first nuclear-managed submarine, equipped with Pukguksong-6 missiles and can attack up to 12,000 km away, that is, capable of reaching America. But defense experts say that this submarine is technically very backward and cannot stand in front of the submarines of America, Japan or South Korea.
North Korea is still away from making submarines
According to South Korean defense expert Dongkune Lee, North Korea currently does not have complete ability to create a modern ballistic missile submarine (SSBN). He said that Kim Jong’s new submarine shows the difference between his great ambitions and reality. Even before this, there was a lot of difficulty in making North Korea a submarine called “Hero Kim Kun Oak”.
Old technology, big things
According to experts, North Korea’s army is still using the old Romeo-class submarines of the Soviet Union formed in 1957. Not only this, Kim Jong’s Air Force consists of Mig-15 fighter aircraft of 1947, which have been thrown into junk by other countries. In such a situation, it is just a matter of showing to tell the new submarine of North Korea as “game changer” and the reality is far away from it.
