(Politics)Will you transfer ICBM and nuclear submarine technologies?The temptation of “foreign money” also plays a role.

Even after the government announced the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia, North Korea remained silent, without much response.

Analysts say North Korea’s decision to send troops appears to have been the result of an in-depth analysis of its interests.

North Korea’s last intercontinental ballistic missile and ICBM provocation occurred in December last year. It was a solid fuel-based Hwasong-18 type

and President Kim Jong-un visited the launch site and accompanied his daughter Joo-ae and wife Ri Sol-ju.

(Chosun Central TV (December last year): When Washington made a wrong decision against us, it was an opportunity to clearly show what actions we are prepared for and what choices we will make…)

At the time, North Korea said the test was a huge success, but it was the same “high-angle launch” method as before.

For this reason, the South Korean military believes that they have not achieved the true range, that is, the warhead re-entry technology into the atmosphere, which is the core technology of normal-angle firing.

It is a technology that makes a projectile beyond its peak altitude resist a high temperature of more than 7,000 degrees Celsius when re-entering the atmosphere, and is evaluated as the final stage of the ICBM.

It is mentioned as a key military technology that North Korea can look after as a counter-benefit to Russia’s deployment.

(Moon Sung-mook/Director of the Unification Strategy Center of the Korean Institute of National Strategy (YTN NewsNOW): We have developed nuclear weapons to maintain the superiority of our military power, but in fact, we lack the core technology of intercontinental ICBM ballistic missiles that can reach the United States as reentry technology.)

It is also possible to foresee the possibility of technical support related to nuclear-powered submarines, the need for which President Kim Jong-un has mentioned at every opportunity.

North Korea has recently been caught building large submarines, but the South Korean military believes it has not yet equipped essential equipment, such as nuclear reactors, for use in nuclear-powered submarines.

The transfer of technology related to a spy satellite that failed in May is one possible scenario.

Furthermore, experts say that if the number of personnel deployed reaches 10,000, it would have been a temptation for the North Korean command to earn tens of billions of won in foreign currency per month through salaries.

(Cho Han-beom / Senior Researcher at the Korea Institute for Unification): Acquiring foreign currency through large-scale troop deployments will be a great achievement, and there is a possibility of providing advanced military technology and precision weapons to North Korea. . It’s a very important situation, so you can also understand the real experience.)

However, experts note that the deployment is a game-like adventure, which could have fatal consequences that could endanger the system, depending on the extent of damage suffered by the North Korean military.
