(Washington Composite Electric) Van Heck, commander of the Northern United States Command, warned on Tuesday that North Korea may test the improved version of the intercontinental ballistic missile in the "near future" test.
Glen Vanherck told the Senate Military Commission that day that North Korea made amazing progress in developing nuclear weapons and long -distance missile technology, further threatening American native security.
He said: "The North Korean regime also shows that it is no longer constrained by the unilateral suspension of nuclear trials and intercontinental ballistic missile tests announced in 2018, which shows that Kim Jong -un may start the intercontinental ballistic missile after test flights in the near future."
Reuters analysis, Vanch's warning seems to be based on North Korea's largest intercontinental ballistic missiles in the country in October last year, rather than specific intelligence launched in.He made this remarks on the eve of the Vice -State Brills visited South Korea on Wednesday, highlighting the United States' concerns about North Korea's might recover missiles and nuclear military tests.
Vanhek pointed out that the North Korean new continent ballistic missiles are larger and the lethality may be stronger.However, he also expressed confidence in the US missile defense system.
The White House confirmed on Monday that the Bayeng government has tried to contact North Korea, but did not get a response.On the same day, Kim and Zheng, deputy minister of the Central Committee of the North Korean Workers' Party, strongly criticized the United States and South Korea ’s military exercises, and warned that the new US government would not make trouble for the new US government to sleep safely in the next four years.
