“The North Korean missile program is characterized with a relatively high level against the background of what many other countries have. However, this is the level that the Soviet Union had during the 1950s and the 1960s.
“It is not known how many missiles the nation has exactly. Most likely, it has hundreds. The missile potential will be enough to attack Japan and South Korea. A US defense publication wrote in 2005 that North Korea could launch from 54 to 72 ballistic missiles within one hour. This is just a theory, of course. At any rate, a ballistic missile is the only long-range weapon against which there is no guaranteed defense, especially if several ballistic missiles are launched at a time.
“Only ballistic missiles can guarantee a high probability of hitting a target, because the creation of the efficient missile defense system is highly problematic even for the United States. That is why, it is extremely important for North Korea to build nuclear warheads for Nodon missiles. Perhaps, this is exactly what North Korea is doing at the moment.”
