North-Korean Crises.

Intermediate Continental Ballistic Missiles.

We start off with the Nuclear capability of North-Korea as tensions build with the unstable and changeable U.S. President Trump? This is not the best of subjects to be covering at this time, but these types of missile systems are what keep the worlds communications systems and Space exploration possible?

It is hard to find accurate data for what kind of missiles N-Korea possess, but we can say that the three basic types come from the Peoples Republic of China and the former Soviet Union! China developed two types the CSS1/2 respectively from 1970/71, there ranges are 1100km to between 2500 and 4000Km.

These two systems were copies of the Soviet SS-4 Sandal medium range ballistic missile, which entered service in 1968. The Sandal was a development of the SS-3 Shyster and it was itself an upgrade of captured Nazi-German V-2's.

The third system is the former Soviet Unions SA-4/5 Guideline/Gammon which was widely exported and is an air defence missile system. The wheeled and track carriers seen are all based around the former Soviet and Chinese versions of the SS-14 Scapegoat carried on the Iron Maiden Chariot. These have a range of 4000Km plus and are capable of launching a 1.5 tonne Nuclear warhead, where the CSS-1/2 up to a one tonne warhead.

We must not underestimate them after their failed launch, because it is estimated that in every one-hundred U.S. missiles fired only forty will actually launch.

N-Korean targets, will be Seoul in S-Korea, Tokyo in Japan, the U.S. Marshall Islands and Hawaii islands!
