North Korea said it successfully test-fired a new ballistic missile from a submarine on Tuesday, state news agency KCNA reported
KCNA said the submarine-launched ballistic missile was launched from the"8.24 Yongung" sub -- the same vessel used to test North Korea's first SLBM in 2016.The report said"lots of advanced control guidance technologies" had been included in the missile, which would"greatly contribute to putting the defence technology of the country on a high level and to enhancing the underwater operational capability of our navy.
But Mount added SLBMs are only as good as the vessels that carry them, and the US military was more than a match for North Korea's noisy submarines. "The weak link in their submarine missile program is the submarines, and that is an enormous technical challenge for the North Koreans," he said, adding Pyongyang's vessels were so outmatched, the SLBMs were effectively a"redundant capability.
