According to Wikipedia, North Korea have around 35 nuclear missiles with range up to 3000 km, see link here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea#Military. I think North Korea manufacturing quality is much lower than Chinese, so nuclear missiles bad quality can lead to wrong direction during test flights. What will do US warships in the region, if North Korea missile go in wrong direction because of manufacturing mistake ?

Nothing. You obviously dont know, how this stuff works.

Missile is independent of the warhead and NK as any other nuclear power tests its missiles without the nuclear payload. Above ground testing of nukes has been forbidden for decades by now and every country - for its own security, respects it.

If it was too long - tested missiles have dummy load, maybe even some marble stones, engine, navigation computer and rocket fuel. Thats it. American military is not that stupid to go to war over marbles.

The quality of the North Korean missiles are not as good as the Russian and the American missiles (don't want to compare them with the low quality Chinese missiles). But then with the nukes, you don't want to take any chances.

North Korean missile launch that failed shortly after it was fired may have been thwarted by cyber attacks from the US.

The medium-range missile exploded seconds after it was launched on Sunday from a site near the port city of Sinpo, as Mike Pence, the US vice president, arrived in Seoul for talks with the South Korean government over how to deal with Pyongyang's belligerence.

"It could have failed because the system is not competent enough to make it work, but there is a very strong belief that the US - through cyber methods - has been successful on several occasions in interrupting these sorts of tests and making them fail," the former Conservative foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind told the BBC on Sunday.
In 2014, former US president Barack Obama ordered that efforts be stepped up to counter North Korea's missile capabilities with cyber attacks and electronic warfare. North Korea has seen a significant increase in failed launches in the years since, though there has been no official claim of the programme's success.

This north Korea people and their leader nu should follow the path of peace than this part they are trending now.

That may very well blow up in their own backyard if something goes wrong. But i don't think that's going to happen. Kim knows the consequences if he makes a wrong move that would force the us to act. I don't think he, by himself would ever be ready for an actual us attack

Kim Jong Un believes that "the best defense is a good offense". That is why whenever the Americans are provoking him, he is responding in kind. And so far, his strategy has worked.

Absolutely,missiles are tested unloaded usually and even if it goes in the wrong direction,there is nothing to worry for the american military.

That information is not entirely true.

They have the equivalent of 30 nuclear warheads.
There is no information that they really have the warheads and are capable of mounting them on a missile. Which is a big if at this moment.

On the accuracy part.
Every missile has a self detonating system in order to prevent accidents. NK would be nuts not to have something like that on theirs.
Of course both systems could go wrong but the 0.001% or so percent would mean somebody is really playing around with the human race.
See pal (abbreviation) for how it works.

And about the reaction, it would matter a lot where the wrong direction would point. Cause if the missile would fly to the north poll instead of japan, nobody will give a damn.

I wouldn't guess that these missiles could've failed due to numerous reasons and incompetence on the side of the North Koreans. It's simple to see that they're attempting to rush achievements relating to ballistic missiles and such so I wouldn't doubt that the reason they could be failing so much is because they're really not ready to do all of this and Kim is forcing the military to try to act strong.

Plus, isn't everything they have in their military like from the Cold War era anyway? I wouldn't think that they'd be able to really develop anything that they'd be able to compare to anything the US / Russia has and uses on a daily basis. They don't have anything close to the military industrial complex that the US has, it's really crazy what we're able to develop with the insane amount of money spent.

Even though they have managed to make a nuclear weapon, there is no doubt that most of the technology that the North Koreans use are inferior and ancient.

The problem with the nuclear weapons is that even if they are of inferior quality, they can kill millions of people. We should never take our chances with nukes. A single nuclear weapon can wipe out all forms of life from the planet.

Blow them the fuck up. They are sovereign, but we are too, so, let's exercise that sovereignty. No civilians, just remove the launcher and the surrounding three miles of earth .

I think what people fail to realise about weapons systems, especially cutting edge ones, is that they're all prototypes at heart.

The phone or car you use has been refined over million of copies until it's not too far off perfect. You can't do the same with a complex weapon. Look how long and agonising any weapon procurement is these days.

I can imagine the missile program is the one area North Korea isn't going to skimp on, but that's no guarantee they won't fail miserably.

People like you are the reason why american servicemen died in vain for Iraqis and Afghanis - making both of countries worse off still.

Why would "you" blow "them" up? Do you even know, IF those crazy Koreans managed to miniaturize nuclear payloads to the point that they would fit ballistic missiles?

Do you think WW2 era US bombs like Fatman could be mounted on a missile? The answer is obvious no.

Then there is another fact. Missiles are ALWAYS tested without payload both because international relations and the possibility, that they fail.

Youve just said, it would be good idea to nuke people you never met, because one day, maybe, they could do something stupid on their own soil. I wouldnt want to be your neighbour, mate.

The attack is not something that makes North Korea. Militant talk is not an attack. Kim, each time praying to their Communist God the Americans attacked and threatens America only when he knows that she will not attack.

We can be fairly confident that while they skimp on a lot of things one of them is not the nuclear missiles.
It would be an epic fail if it didn't do it's job or failed before it launched and destroyed the launching pad... the DPRK budget goes to it's military first before citizenry so worry not they are reliable enough lol.

I don't think that it is true. Why do you think that the Americans have not attacked DPRK till now, unlike the case with Iraq and Syria? The Americans know that North Korea is much more powerful than Iraq.

That is extremely dangerous! Thousands or million of people will be affected if they fail their launch. The sad part is those innocent young children.
Because of the bad quality of their missile we are in trouble.

Yes north Korea has a lot of missile and a nuclear weapon.. but i do believe those missile are not trusthworthy at all maybe 70% will be fine.. points to consider.. north korea is a backforwarding nation..

Of course the know-how of North Koreans would not be so advanced like as of USA and Russia. These two countries have a long history and knowledge about missile programs. This is the reason till now their tests are unsuccessful. But this is not the case because soon or later they will fix it. The problem is all of this power which is concentrated in the hands of an insane dictator.

Don't understand your logic. If the launch fails and the missile lands in the ocean, then no lives will be lost. On the other hand, if it reaches its intended target, then we can expect huge number of casualties (can't quantify the number, as we don't know much about the potential of the DPRK nukes).

No rocket North Korea will not achieve its goal. Americans and Chinese will follow any missile launches. They will destroy them on the rise. Kim no chance. He has two options. Either he will give up nuclear weapons or die.

I think, that greatest gift to this forum would be filter for broken english. Usually, it doesnt mean that the user is non native speaker. Rather it speaks volume about his mental laziness. We all feel dumber after reading  about innocent young children being sad about bad quality of north korean missiles.

Why do you assume it's going to fall in the ocean?

They might target Sidney (see their recent threats) and a misfire might get that rocket to land in Delhi , or Kuala Lumpur.
Or they might hit China, that would be something like a karmapocalypse.

Based on what we see North Koreans got the best nuclear heads because they're all test testing it all along, dude! I don't know about U.S, Russia, China or any country else... All I know is the North Koreans got the nukes and are not the guys to be mess with! If their nukes are not good they not even going to test it in eyes of the world to see and get scared! Trust me, these guys got the nukes and everyone should be careful with them!

ROFL. "They" can eat a ballistic dick. I would concede your point except for the fact that 'their' leader is developing weapons in violation of international sanctions, and directly threatening our allies. I don't know what it take s for you to be proactive, but I like heading off nuclear conflict myself, before it starts. The threats to US and allied assets aren't warranted even if their is no nuclear proliferation on NKs part; we asked them to chill, and they demonstrated a distinct lack of chill, for the last 10 years or so. You obviously voted for Trump,  are you not of the same mind as our duly elected leader?  Trump is playing literal fucking battleship with a nuclear powered sub as I  type this, I think me and old 45 might be on the same page, for once. The threat to international security is too great, and Trumps onus to do something big bodes poorly for the situation.

And I'm a pacifist most of the time. But I don't believe in letting monsters grow to full size before you address the issue. State actors don't get to do this, especially being tres low on the totem pole of world affairs.

And I never said nuke. I said blow the fuck up. Noone should have nukes. Which is why I believe we should use overwhelming force to prevent this possibility for a unpredictable, non cooperative state actor that has shown the signs of being a dictator. No, his crazy ass should not have God's power, to unmake things. As I said, no civilians, just the launch infrastructure.

First of all, let's rule out Sydney. The North Korean missiles are not capable of reaching the Australian continent. And secondly, North Korea will never ever launch a missile over the Chinese air space. China is one of the last remaining allies of the DPRK, and they will never do something which can harm that relationship.

North Korea could launch missile soon South Korea and Japan. Theoretically, in order to launch a missile at Australia, Kim does not need to cross the airspace of China, but they have no such long-range missiles. In addition, after the deployment of the ABM systems on the territory of South Korea, no rocket will not be able to pass undetected.

No air defense system is 100% effective. They may be able to detect the missiles, but there is no guarantee that all of them will be intercepted. Anyway I don't think that Kim will target Australia, when he is having Japan and South Korea nearby.

If the complex is one he can skip the missile, but if there are many then the chances are almost negligible. Miss one complex will bring down the other. The more that Kim no a large number of missiles. We do not yet know whether they will fly or not.

Probably, a lot of casualties will occur. When deploying it into the field and not being thoroughly tested, it will be troublesome. You know that handling nuclear reactions could cause lots of problems and mishandling could lead to death, just saying. I just hope they just keep peace.

You reap what you sow. The US has been planting seeds of war since WW2. They bombed the living hell out of North-Korea, devastating the country and paving the way for the totalitarian regime they have now. Syria, Irak, Iran, Vietnam, Cambodia, ...

I strongly believe the majority of the world population is pacifist. We dont need wars. But economies thrive on it.

I wonder how much stock Trump has in defense contractors....

The air-defense system can only intercept a maximum of 2-3 missiles at a time. What if the North Koreans use hundreds or thousands of missiles? No one is having any idea about the number of missiles which they possess.

South Korea could buy some s400's ::)

Or maybe thaad just doesnt only shoot down 2 missiles.
Russian bots at it again :D

How do Koreans have thousands of rockets? What are you laughing at? Besides, now satellite can see everything, and Americans know not only the number but also the location of all missiles.
