Ja, Trumps gäng bryr sig inte om Nordkorea utvecklar kärnvapen - så länge de inte kan nå USA:
The Diplomat skrev:Elbridge A. Colby, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and force development, said it is unrealistic to expect North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to give up his nuclear weapons, meaning the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is an unrealistic goal.
It is not a comforting remark for those in Seoul who still believe that the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula can happen, depending on the willingness of the U.S. to resolve the security conflicts on the peninsula.
Instead, Colby argued that U.S. policy on North Korea should be centered on arms control to limit the range of North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missiles – which are believed to be able to target the mainland of the United States. That, too, will arouse concern in Seoul, as it would leave the North in possession of thousands of nuclear capable, shorter-range missiles that could decimate South Korea.

North Korean Bulsae-4 Missile System Reportedly Spotted in Ukraine for First Time
Army Recognition skrev:As the war in Ukraine continues, Ukrainian forces have reported the first appearance of the North Korean long-range anti-tank missile system, Bulsae-4 M-2018 NLOS ATGM, in the Kharkiv region, as reported by the Telegram channel @KUPua01. This system, classified as a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) missile, allows targeting without a direct line of sight.
The Bulsae-4 M-2018 NLOS ATGM (Non-Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank Guided Missile) from North Korea is a fiber-optic guided missile system capable of engaging rotary and armored targets at extended ranges of 15 to 25 km. Production and acquisition of this missile began around 2018, although exact details remain unclear due to the secretive nature of North Korea's military program. The Bulsae-4 was publicly revealed by North Korean state television in June 2016, showing an anti-tank missile launched from a Mi-2 helicopter, confirming its entry into service in the following years. The exact number of Bulsae-4 systems in service is unknown but is presumed to be substantial to bolster North Korea's military capability.
The Bulsae-4 M-2018 is distinguished by its ability to transmit real-time video data to the operator, allowing for precise targeting adjustments during flight. It follows a non-ballistic trajectory, reducing radar detection risks and increasing crew survivability. The missile is carried on a North Korean M-2010 armored vehicle in a 6x6 configuration, equipped with eight launch containers. Compared to similar systems like the Israeli Spike-ER, the Bulsae-4 uses an electro-optical guidance head combined with fiber-optic cable guidance. This technology allows the missile to maneuver around obstacles to hit hidden targets, significantly enhancing North Korea's ability to engage distant and fortified targets.

Yonhap News Agency skrev:Among shipments presumed to have been delivered to Russia from North Korea as of July 15 were containers that can hold some 5.2 million artillery shells as well as scores of short-range ballistic missiles, Defense Minister Shin Won-sik said in an interview published in the Japanese Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper earlier in the day.

North Korea conducted six nuclear tests at the key site of Punggye-ri so far, in October 2006, May 2009, February 2013, January 2016, September 2016 and September 2017.

It comes after North Korea delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump for flaunting his supposedly friendly relations with Kim Jong-un, saying “we do not care” about the Republican.

North Korean Anti-Tank Missile-Toting Vehicle Appears To Be Operating In Ukraine
The War Zone skrev:Russia appears to have deployed a North Korean Bulsae-4 M-2018 Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) long-range, self-propelled Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) system in Ukraine. A six-wheeled armored vehicle closely resembling that weapon system was recently spotted by Ukrainian aerial surveillance in the Kharkiv region near the Russian border, according to the KUP Telegram channel, which first posted an image of it. This would be the first known armored vehicle provided by Pyongyang to Moscow in a burgeoning relationship of convenience.
The Bulsae-4 has eight missile containers in a rotating turret mounted onto what Global Security said is a North Korean M-2010 armored personnel carrier hull. The container hatch cover and gap between the first and second set of wheels in the first photo below captured by Ukraine appear identical to those seen in the following two images, which are official North Korean photos.
The Bulsae-4’s NLOS missiles would add, at least on paper, a new stand-off capability to Russia’s anti-armor arsenal. Similar in function to Israel’s Spike NLOS and other variants and knockoffs, they allow for man-in-the-loop first-person control in flight. As a result, the missiles can also be launched and fly towards an area before being locked onto a target (lock-on after launch). That means the target wouldn’t even need to be in direct line-of-sight of the launcher and the missile can work around minor fluctuations in terrain and man-made obstacles. This offers the operators many new tactical possibilities, including hitting targets behind cover and even finding a target’s exact location after launch. The missile could even be diverted to another target midway through its flight. In general, these types of missiles have the ability to attack targets from above, which is usually a more vulnerable location than an armored front and sides.
