An intercontinental ballistic missile that North Korea said could reach the “whole” mainland of the United States likely broke up upon re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere, a US official said Saturday.
North Korea on Tuesday broke a two-month lull in weapons testing. It launched an advanced intercontinental ballistic missile, the Hwasong-15, that state-controlled media described as the “most powerful ICBM” carrying a “super-large heavy warhead” to unprecedented heights of almost 4,500 kilometers (2,800 miles).
Technical analysis of the missile flight is ongoing, but the US official said “the North Koreans had problems with re-entry. ”
Coupled with the rogue regime’s need to master missile guidance and targeting, the re-entry failure underscores the challenges facing the country’s weapons program, according to the official.
Still, the ability of the new missile to fly higher and longer than others in the past signals the program’s intent to develop weapons capable of attacking the US.
美國認為北韓未掌握重返大氣層技術,
前幾日果支最後係解左體
如果無支那幫北韓,重返大氣層呢啲應該無咁易掌握
同埋應該都係得單彈頭,做唔到mirv
不過始終都係一個威脅
DF-41都好似未裝到MIRV喎
