North Korea shows off new submarine-launched missile
This picture taken on Thursday and released from North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) yesterday shows what appears to be submarine-launched ballistic missiles during a military parade celebrating the 8th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) in Pyongyang. Political analysts say the unveiling of the missiles was a calculated show of strength days before Joe Biden's inauguration as US president. A working SLBM on a nuclear-powered submarine would be a strategic game changer, enabling Pyongyang to launch a surprise attack from close to the United States or carry out a strike even if its land-based forces had been destroyed.
