I am back !
North Korea fired a 2nd missile over Japan in a month. The missile reached an altitude of 770km (2 300 000 feet) and and flew a distance of 3 200 km for 19 minutes. The first one on 29 August flew for 2 700km. The KN-08 is believed to have a range of about 11,500km.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/09/14 ... ports.htmlNorth Korea is only getting better at making ICBMs. The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted a US-drafted resolution to impose new sanctions on North Korea. The resolution is designed to accomplish six major goals: cap North Korea's oil imports, ban textile exports, end additional overseas laborer contracts, suppress smuggling efforts, stop joint ventures with other nations and sanction designated North Korean government entities. Earlier in August North Korea's exports were slashed by a third.
The Hermit Kingdom is in a bind and needs cash desperately so why can't a 3rd world govt buy North Korea missile tech ? I am certain Mr Jong Un won't demand a lot of money, $20 million should be acceptable. I feel this is a perfect opportunity for Countries like South Africa, Angola, Algeria (Egypt cut military ties with North Korea on Monday) or any other "rich" African country to progress technologically. With what they have already accomplished a country like South Africa with more resources can even produce better versions.
What is there to gain: Jobs are created, revenues for the govt and above all
prestige and
deterrence against the enemy
