South Korea has finally fought back!After the DPRK successfully launched the "Wanli Jing-1" military reconnaissance satellite, South Korea also joined the arms race. Using the "Falcon 9" carrier rocket of the United States, South Korea successfully launched its first "reconnaissance satellite No. 1" into space, giving it a higher level of capabilities in military reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.
According to South Korea's Ministry of National Defense, South Korea has achieved an "overwhelming advantage" and has signed an agreement with the United States to help South Korea launch at least four reconnaissance satellites in the next one year to achieve 24-hour uninterrupted surveillance of North Korea. And the North Korean side also has plans for "mass launches".
The current satellite launch is only the beginning of the intensive launch of reconnaissance satellites by both sides, and the ultimate goal is to deploy the satellites in low-earth orbit on a large scale and from multiple angles to form their own exclusive intelligence network. This race will once again add fuel to the already tense situation on the peninsula, accelerate the arms race, and raise the risk of conflict.
South Korea's Yoon Suk-yeol claims that South Korea's satellites are better, but North Korea has also made a technological breakthrough in the face of long-term isolation and blockade. The DPRK's military strength is also constantly increasing, and sooner or later the DPRK will have more powerful reconnaissance and long-range precision strike capabilities, whether through independent research and development or through DPRK-Russia military cooperation.
The North Korean side issued a warning to South Korea about the satellite launch, demanding that South Korea not interfere with the work of North Korea's satellite, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war. North Korea also warned that if the United States continues to interfere in North Korea's space activities, it will respond by destroying American reconnaissance satellites. The DPRK has completely terminated the implementation of the "919 military agreement" and deployed a large number of troops and heavy ** to the military demarcation line.
As the U.S.-South Korea military alliance grows stronger, South Korea could completely turn around at any time. The current situation on the peninsula is very tense, especially the move of the United States to convene a meeting of "joint defense ministers", which is bent on raising the risk of war on the peninsula.
In order to ensure the balance of power on the peninsula and prevent the recurrence of war, the DPRK will continue to develop self-defensive nuclear deterrence and continuously strengthen the exercise of the right of legitimate defense and self-defense. The DPRK is backed by China and Russia, and its military cooperation with Russia is getting closer and closer.
North Korea has mastered technologies such as long-range ballistic missiles, reconnaissance satellites, and tactical nuclear attack submarines, and is not afraid to engage in military confrontation with the United States and its allies. The U.S. crackdown on North Korea may fail, and the current situation requires all parties to respond calmly and avoid misfire. As North Korea increasingly overcomes repressive sanctions, U.S. regional interventionism will sooner or later fail.
