U.S. Air Force General says North Korea has not demonstrated important ICBM technologies
- 6 years ago
A senior U.S. military official has assessed that North Korea's nuclear program has made some strides in recent months,... but the regime has yet to demonstrate all the components of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Paul Selva, Vice Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, says North Korea has yet to demonstrate fusing and targeting technologies or a survivable re-entry vehicle.
However, he says it's possible the North has them,... but hasn't demonstrated them just yet.
In November, North Korea said it had successfully tested a new type of ICBM,... the Hwaseong-15,... which could reach all of the U.S. mainland.
