N. Korea renews vows to go ahead with rocket launch in October

“The planned satellite launch is the legitimate exercise of independent rights as a sovereign country which no one can slander or infringe upon”.

No signal reception has occurred seen beginning with the crude-looking 100-kg (220-pound) piece of most excellent metallic which the North said appeared to be placed along with video cameras to bring illustrations and communicate these items here we are at Pyongyang.

Earlier this month, as if the worldwide community needed to be reminded about the alleged capabilities of the North Korean armed forces, the Hermit Kingdom said that it was prepared to carry out a nuclear attack against (big shocker) the United States and “other hostile forces” for pursuing an overly aggressive foreign policy towards their country.

“North Korea should make efforts to ensure its people can get out of difficulties through reform and openness rather than” carrying out an additional provocation, Park said in an address to the United Nations General Assembly.

North Korea website DPRK Today said scientists and engineers were accelerating their projects on observation satellites, ahead of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Workers’ Party on October. 10.

The North is preparing another navigation launch in a month, re-lighting reservations that should be really trying a way to offer nuclear explosives.

“Nothing that has happened in the past years has changed my assessment”, Mr Schiller told Reuters, despite further short-range missile launches by Pyongyang using existing technology. South Korea’s defence ministry said this week it had not detected any signs of preparations at the main launch site, about 50km from the Chinese border. Outside experts say it may be a cover for ballistic missile tests. Also, a missile must be designed for its warhead to withstand the stress of atmosphere re-entry, which is not the case when putting a satellite into space and leaving it there.

The Unha-3 was a three-stage rocket based on 1950s Soviet Scud missile technology, with advanced fuel used in its final stage.

MR DANIEL PINKSTON, who has studied the North’s political and weapons strategy, saying Pyongyang’s pursuit of long-range rocket technology should be taken seriously.

It should be clear how important these capabilities are to the leadership because they are expensive and hard to acquire.
