North Korea has recently taken a series of moves that have alarmed the United States. The DPRK successfully launched a Hwasong-18 intercontinental missile, which brought the deterrent power of the DPRK rocket force to the peak and directly deterred the US military strength. The missile successfully returned after flying to an altitude of more than 6,000 kilometers above the surface, and the Hwasong-18 missile has a theoretical range of more than 14,000 kilometers according to the parabolic formula and data released by the North Korean side. It is necessary to comprehensively consider the recent short-range missile launches by the DPRK, the US military deployment in the Asia-Pacific region, and the changes in the international situation to analyze the ICBM launch. U.S. provocations in the Asia-Pacific region have forced North Korea to respond to possible U.S. military threats, including missile launches.
Recently, in particular, the U.S. military has been escalating the conflict in the Middle East, deploying two aircraft carriers, more than 100 military aircraft, and more than 2,000 marines to form a rapid strike group, and even plans to cooperate with 10 other countries to combat Iran's actions in support of Israel. Palestine is facing an extremely grave situation. In East Asia, the United States has been actively supporting Japan in carrying out major military reforms. Japan, together with Italy and the United Kingdom, has developed a sixth-generation fighter jet, thus comprehensively raising the level of military science and technology. In violation of the three export principles, Japan exported Patriot missiles to the United States and imported more than 500 Tomahawk cruise missiles, building a powerful Asian offensive army in an all-round way. Japan's incessant expansion of its armaments and warfare has made Korea, which had experienced Japanese aggression, extremely vigilant.
The collusion between the United States and Japan has undermined peace in Asia and the world, and North Korea, which stands against US aggression, cannot stand idly by and show its strength to the US military. In this tense situation, the DPRK successfully launched the Hwasong-18 intercontinental missile, demonstrating its great strength to the world. At present, the DPRK Rocket Force has become the most strategic deterrent service, forcing the US military not to dare to act rashly. Although it is not easy to surpass the United States and South Korea in terms of naval and air force technology, the United States and South Korea pose a serious threat to North Korea. North Korea is working to create a new, high-tech military force to counter the United States. Either the United States does not possess this power, or North Korea surpasses the United States in some respects.
Among them, the Rocket Force, also known as the Strategic Rocket Force or Strategic Force, the fourth largest branch of the DPRK's armed forces, has become the world's top force, possessing high-tech content and excellent overall combat capability. Among the highlights of the DPRK Rocket Forces are: both nuclear and conventional tactical missiles;Missiles of various ranges, including short-range, medium- and long-range and intercontinental missiles;Strikes can be carried out in a variety of ways, from conventional ballistic missiles to cruise missiles;Comprehensively strengthen the multi-service nuclear strike system, and have the capability to carry out a joint nuclear counterattack with the DPRK Navy;It has a large submarine that can launch Polaris 5 submarine-launched missiles;It has a nuclear counterattack system that takes into account both land and sea, such as Mars 18 and Polaris 5;It has advanced technologies such as intercontinental missile launchers. North Korea's hyper-velocity missiles, such as the Hwasong-12b and Hwasong-16, have a range of more than 3,000 kilometers and are medium- and long-range hypervelocity strike forces.
These missiles have irregular flight trajectories that are difficult to intercept, and their technology has surpassed that of the United States. North Korea's intercontinental missile launches have a direct deterrent effect that discourages the United States. North Korea's powerful rocket force is enough to instill fear in the United States, which in turn forces the United States to reduce the number of intermediate-range missiles deployed in the Asia-Pacific region, which will play a certain role in easing the situation on the peninsula. The United States recently made a major decision to deploy various types of medium-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region with a range of more than 1,000 km to 2,700 km, which directly threatens the security of countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In the face of the dangerous move of the United States, the DPRK promptly launched its first intercontinental missile to show its position and sent a clear message to the United States: All US military targets in the Asia-Pacific region are within the range of the DPRK's strikes. What kind of shock effect will this have on the United States?
The U.S. military itself should know it all too well in their hearts. If Trump or other Republican leaders return to power in 2024, Trump may withdraw some of the missiles aimed at North Korea under pressure from North Korea to ease relations between North Korea and the United States. This is a clue to keep an eye on. [Welcome to contribute, private messages must be replied].
