Reply to comment by Oops_allthrowaways in North Korea's weapons programme defies COVID outbreak, reaches 'uncharted territory' by PhantomWizard2099

North Korea was a major regional threat before they developed nuclear weapons and started testing their longer range, advanced missiles.

With artillery and mortars alone, North Korea could easily inflict over a hundred thousand South Korean casualties and cause billions of dollars in damages - within hours.

Dirty secret of ordnance: it goes bad.

That money for nuclear weapons research had to come from somewhere - I'm curious to see what state their vaunted artillery truly is in these days.

I'm guessing Potemkin.

Yup. Steal $, build rocket, fire it. Steal more $, build rocket, fire it. Steal even more $, build rocket, fire it.
