Vipin Narang and Ankit Panda, War On The Rocks: Command and Control in North Korea: What a Nuclear Launch Might Look Like
A new nuclear state, in a major crisis with a conventionally superior nuclear-armed adversary, contemplates and prepares to move nuclear assets in the event it has to use them. Who controls the nuclear forces? Who decides when they might be assembled, mated to delivery vehicles, moved, and launched? Who has nominal authority to order those decisions? Who has the physical ability to implement them even without proper authorization? How experienced are the relevant units in these operations? What could go wrong?
These were the questions that bedeviled Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil War and again in the 10-month standoff with India in 2001-2002. They are the same challenges and issues that confront North Korea today.

Don't forget that America has dropped nuclear weapons on populated cities not too far from North Korea.
Ummm anyone know where jays gone?
Don't forget that China not only sold the mobile missile launchers but also the rockets' propellant to North Korea. I'm sure they'll also happily provide the paint, so North Korea can paint a nice bullseye on us.
Fazman,
Jay stooped to levels of absurdity that I think that WNU editor had to get rid of him. He was calling WNU editor nasty names and went full libtard zealot on him, trolling this blog and attacking everyone on this blog that didnt hold the same exact view that he did. He was also getting old, so he may have died. In any event, he gone and people can now feel free to exchange ideas without that 75 year old ANTFA basket case bothering anyone.
