This Is How An Elite Team Tracks Kim Jong-un (And His Nuclear Weapons)

by JamesMartinCNS [4]


Advancements in satellite technology are making it easier for an elite research team to track North Korea’s missiles, nukes, and even the young dictator Kim Jong Un.

North Korea is advancing both its ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs at an accelerated pace. The North launched its tenth ballistic missile this year, a new medium long-range surface-to-surface weapon, Sunday. North Korea has also been carrying out preparation work at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site for an eventual sixth nuclear test.

I still think they ought to shoot down the next test flight just to show L'il Kim what he faces.

It would send an even stronger message if China did it - if they can.
