[뉴스포커스] North Korea launches ballistic missile… Continued provocations at ROK-US joint exercises

North Korea, which launched a submarine-launched cruise missile the day before the joint ROK-US drill, fired another short-range ballistic missile into the East Sea two days later.

The White House has announced that it will not tolerate North Korea’s act of undermining national security in connection with the launch of the SLCM.

As various exercises are announced after the ROK-US joint training, the level of military tension on the Korean Peninsula is expected to continue for now.

We will talk about related content with Bong Young-sik, a research fellow at Yonsei University’s National Unification Institute.

welcome

North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea this morning after launching a cruise missile from a submarine the day before a joint ROK-US drill. Detailed specifications are analyzed by military authorities. Can we say that launching a ballistic missile followed by cruise missiles was a planned procedure?

ROK-US joint training began yesterday under the name exercise ‘Freedom Shield’. As North Korea’s provocations continue one after the other, the meaning of ROK-US joint training seems to have become more important. Let’s start with the meaning of this ROK-US joint training.

Although there were evaluations that North Korea had demonstrated provocation capabilities using various platforms by launching a cruise missile for the first time from a submarine, the Joint Chiefs of Staff estimated that it was at an early stage and evaluated it as an exaggeration by North Korea. What do you think about North Korea’s SLCM launch technology?

Given that North Korea has introduced a new weapon system, SLCM, rather than SLBM, which has been fired several times, I wonder if it will be possible to try to install missiles on submarines other than the ‘Hero Ship 8.24’ which is being used this time this. The Joint Chiefs of Staff said the timing of the announcement was delayed because North Korea’s deception tactics could follow.

Yesterday, the first day of the ROK-US joint training, the US next-generation reconnaissance aircraft flew back and forth several times from the West Sea to the East Sea in eastern Gangwon-do, maintaining almost the highest level of alert. and surveillance activities against North Korea. From today onwards, the fighters are said to be sorting continuously for 36 hours. Is it because the role of the Air Force is so important in surveillance and surveillance against North Korea?

The military has announced that it will significantly strengthen Korea’s three-axis system, including the delivery of 20 additional F-35A stealth fighters. I wonder if North Korea’s attempt to launch an underwater SLCM from a submarine was intended to disable our kill chain. Currently, many countries around the world are increasing their defense spending What about Korea? How much do you think the defense budget will need to increase in the future?

Today, the White House also said it was analyzing specific specifications related to North Korea’s SLCM, and announced that it would not tolerate North Korea’s actions of undermining security. At the moment, cruise missiles do not violate Security Council resolutions, but if it becomes possible to install nuclear weapons, they will become more threatening than ballistic missiles Is there any possibility that the United States will convene another meeting of the Security Council in this regard?

The US State Department also announced that the world should respond to the possibility of North Korea’s seventh nuclear test if North Korea conducts a nuclear test. How do you see the possibility of North Korea’s 7th nuclear test, with various ROK-US and ROK-US-Japan exercises announced after ROK-US joint training?

North Korea protested strongly by issuing statements several times before the ROK-US joint training began. North Korea, which launched an SLCM from a submarine the day before the ROK-US joint drill, launched a ballistic missile today. Now, what do you see as the next card that North Korea can pull out?

The United Nations Security Council decided to hold an informal meeting on the 17th to discuss the issue of human rights violations in North Korea. North Korea’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying it would take an extremely strong response. There was great opposition to North Korea’s statement in the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after 5 years and 6 months.

There is also an analysis that the reason North Korea protested strongly against the human rights pressure of the United States is to seek a solidarity response with socialist countries such as China and Russia. China and Russia are countries that are more hostile to the United States than ever before, so it can be seen that North Korea intends to take advantage of this, right?

Starting with the Korea-Japan summit this week, the Korea-US summit next month, and the Korea-US-Japan G7 summit in May are promoted consecutively. A US think tank has analyzed the possibility of additional large-scale provocations by North Korea in time for the South Korea-Japan summit. The biggest concern is that North Korea could launch an ICBM in time. What do you think about this part?
