North Korea again held a parade in three months and showed off strategic nuclear weapons such as the new submarine launch ballistic missile (SLBM). This means that after the 8th Labor Party Congress declared the strengthening of nuclear armed forces, the achievements were directly exposed through a feverish ceremony. In spite of such threatening North Korean actions, the Korean military has not participated in the US-led coalition training, and it is pointed out that it is a’watch North Korea’.
According to North Korea’s Chosun Central News Agency on the 15th, at a fever ceremony commemorating the 8th Labor Party Congress the evening before, several SLBMs, which appear to be marked as’North Pole-5ㅅ (Siot)’, appeared on a mobile launch vehicle (TEL). This is presumed to be the new SLBM’North Pole-5′, which has a higher warhead than’North Pole-4′, which was unveiled at the party’s 75th anniversary in October last year.
In this regard, the Chosun Central News Agency said, “It is the world’s strongest weapon in underwater strategic ballistic missiles, demonstrating the power of a revolutionary strong force that has firmly established the strength of military technology that overwhelms the world.” ‘Underwater Strategic Ballistic Bomb’ is the North Korean term for SLBM. Shin Jong-woo, a research fellow at the Korea Defense Security Forum (KODEF), said, “The new SLBM has a longer warhead than the North Pokseong-4G, which makes it easier to insert a larger multiple warhead.” It seems to continue.” In addition, an improved version of the short-range ballistic missile’North Korean version of Iskander (KN-23)’ appeared for the first time in this row of battles, and a 600mm-class supersized missile and a tactical surface-to-ground missile were also mobilized.

However, the ICBM, which North Korea introduced during a fever ceremony in October last year, did not appear this time. Shin In-gyun, an adjunct professor at the Department of North Korea at Gyeonggi University, explained, “The ICBM in North Korea can hit the US mainland, but it seems that it is not intended to stimulate the upcoming Joe Biden government.”
Although North Korea’s submarine power is strengthening like this, it was reported that the Korean military was absent from the’sea dragon’, a multinational anti-submarine drill conducted by the United States offshore near Guam. The training, in which five countries, including the United States, Australia, Japan, India, and Canada, participate, is under the command and control of the Indo-Pacific, and maritime patrol aircraft of the participating countries track and search for virtual enemy submarines (nuclear-powered submarines of the US Navy). Proceeds to The Ministry of Defense heard about the situation of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), but Japan sent a patrol flag under the Marine Self-Defense Forces this year following last year. Park Hwi-rak, a professor at Kookmin University’s Graduate School of Political Science, said, “This absence of training seems to be conscious of North Korea’s notice and President Moon Jae-in’s plans for inter-Korean cooperation.” In particular, he criticized that it is not right to fall into the joint training of various countries.”
