In North Korea, the 10th is the 75th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea, and the state media has announced that it will celebrate it grandly.

In this regard, South Korea's defense minister said yesterday that "it appears to be preparing various events, including a military parade," and an American research group analyzing North Korea's developments last month. , He said that he was preparing for a military parade from the analysis of satellite images.

It will be the first time since September that North Korea will hold a military parade.

North Korea has introduced various ICBM = intercontinental ballistic missile-class missiles, such as the "Hwasong-15", which claims to be able to attack the entire continental United States in military parades.

Regarding US-North Korea relations, the United States has continued to impose economic sanctions on the grounds that no concrete progress has been made in denuclearization, and North Korea has opposed this, and talks between the US and North Korea have been stalled.

With the introduction of the "Hwasong-15," which claims to be able to attack the entire continental United States, we have clarified our stance on developing nuclear weapons and missiles.

However, at the 70th anniversary military parade held in September, ICBM-class missiles, including the "Hwasong-15", did not appear.

Three months ago, at the first-ever US-North Korea summit meeting held in Singapore, an agreement was reached with the United States on denuclearization, so it seems that the content was restrained so as not to stimulate the United States.

In addition, North Korea claims that the "Hwasong-15" is a "new ICBM that can attack the entire continental United States," and the Korean Ministry of Defense has a range of up to 13,000 kilometers to Washington, the capital of the United States. He analyzed that it was reachable, but said that further technical verification such as re-entry into the atmosphere was necessary.

After that, North Korea announced that it would stop the ICBM launch test in April ahead of the first US-North Korea summit meeting, but when negotiations with the Trump administration got stuck, in December last year, northwestern Tonchanri (Higashikura-ri) ) Announced that it had "conducted a serious experiment" at the "Sohae (West Sea) Satellite Launching Station".

The flight distance at this time was about 450 km, but it was launched in a "lofted orbit" that launched at an angle higher than usual, and the Ministry of Defense analyzed that the range was about 2000 km when launched at a normal angle. I am.

In addition, North Korea appears to be building a submarine capable of launching SLBMs.
