Navy/ N.Korea
Recent reports that North Korea is developing submarines based on
obsolete Golf-II class Soviet-era submarines has gained worldwide attention.
However obsolete, it is reported that North Korea had invested its time in
“examining and replicating” the missile-launch system of the Soviet-era subs.
Hence, these submarines would be able to fire ballistic missiles. In fact,
reports confirm that Pyongyang already is developing a vertical-launch system
for submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). Raising further concerns
about that is the fact that North Korean ballistic missiles could be armed with
nuclear warheads.
