North Korea's nuclear power has become a new threat to the world, experts claim - it is country's propaganda

North Korea's latest missile launch has given it the ability to launch nuclear attacks on South Korea and many important areas of America. In such a situation, the question now is that how big a threat is North Korea to these countries?

North Korea claims that it is capable of destroying its enemies with nuclear weapons. However, most experts say that North Korea's claims are mere propaganda and that the country is not yet capable of a nuclear strike against the US or its allies. 

Doubts on missile capability persist even after becoming a nuclear weapon

There is no doubt that North Korea has a nuclear warhead and missiles with the range of the US, South Korea and Japan. Yet it is not clear whether it has mastered the complex engineering to connect warheads and missiles.

The missile was launched almost directly above the earth

North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile on Saturday. It is one of the three types of ICBM missiles developed in the country. According to the country's official media, this missile was launched almost directly above the earth so that it could avoid coming in the JD of neighboring countries. 

According to official information, it attained a maximum altitude of about 5,770 km and covered a distance of 990 km (615 mi). If the missile is released on a normal trajectory, it can go up to 13,000 km or beyond. If these details are correct, North Korea has both a lethal nuclear bomb and missiles that can deliver it to remote areas. 

North Korea is exaggerating the power of its weapons: South Korea

South Korean defense analyst Shin Jong-woo says that North Korea is deliberately exaggerating the power of its weapons, it is part of their propaganda. Many experts believe that instead of releasing the missile almost directly, it will face a different environment and more stress if it is released in a normal trajectory. 

Demonstration of dozens of missiles by military parade

North Korea also says that these tests were done on a sudden order from Kim Jong Un. This shows that the country has strategic-tactical nuclear weapons capability as well as operational capability. North Korea has displayed about a dozen ICBM missiles in a military parade in the country. It is clear from this that the country is capable of making a large number of missiles. Also, this country has probably also made a solid-fuel ICBM. 

Experts also express apprehension that North Korea has dozens of nuclear weapons. The question now is whether its nuclear warhead is small enough to fit in the missile. Experts are divided on this. Some experts believe that North Korea has made nuclear warheads small enough to fit on missiles, although many experts do not believe on that.
