Yep, but, North Korea and China are working in tandem with each other knowing the U.S. and the UN won't/can't stop them, an don't count out Russia to help them.

This is just my take on these two countries. China is going to over run Taiwan and at the same time, North Korea will send some missiles into South Korea and/or Japan.

Then it'll be too late for an immediate response from the UN/U.S..

I notice they launched it from the Simpo yard area, but I haven't seen any sign of the Sinpo class Submarine, itself. Someone pointed out, it is a variant of the Romeo class sub. Very noisy (by today's standards), so we should know, as soon as it drives out of the yard.

This was almost a year ago:

If you read between the lines, a lot of their national security people would not be happy with the direction Kim took, last year: focusing on the economy and prioritizing a move towards capitalism.

OTOH, I brought up, on the China thread, the SINPO (sometimes misspelled Simpo) Submarine is finished with the building phase and is not pre-operational. I don't have information on how many shakedown runs they have made or will make with it, but I expect it to be fully operational next summer. (Of course, I could be giving them too much credit.)

A brief full ground stop at all West Coast airports was ordered by the FAA on Monday after a suspected ballistic missile launch by North Korea, Newsweek is reporting.

Sabrina LoPiccolo, spokeswoman for San Diego International Airport, told Newsweek that the airport was instructed of a ground stop about 2:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

The 3 musketeers, China, Russia and North Korea, old corn pop has his hands full.

From the above link:

Kim Jong-un, the country’s leader, has already threatened to end the moratorium, saying at a party meeting in January that his country would consider “restarting all temporarily suspended activities” and switching to “more powerful physical means” to deter the United States. He has spent several months unveiling new weapon technology. And, according to new research, his military has been building a base strategically located for future ICBM launches.

In a report published Monday, a team of analysts at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies said they had located an underground, regiment-size military base used for housing North Korean ICBMs just 15 miles from the border with China.

In addition to the new surge in missile testing, and the new ICBM launch facility, N.K. is restarting activity at their nuclear test site:
https://www.38north.org/2022/03/the-military-logic-behind-north-koreas-missile-medley/

Furthermore, indications that North Korea is building a new missile base and new activity at the Punggye-ri Nuclear Testing Site for the first time in four years suggest that further missile testing is likely, including of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). On March 10, the US Department of Defense announced that the DRPK missile tests on February 26 and March 4 aimed to advance the development of precisely such a system, ending the moratorium on ICBM tests in force since November 2017.

This is a re-opening of the "mountain" they supposedly had destroyed.
(They collapsed some tunnels, but not everything.)

He has also begun rebuilding that mountain site for testing nuclear devices, but it will take weeks or months to have it ready for another test (I think).

All of them.

Except: every person who starves, is one less to do the farming, mining and construction.

N.K. doesn't have a lot of people living off the labor of others, as we do.

And who knows what china is doing behind the scenes if they are assisting...

That is also a good question. Generally speaking, N.K. is China's "war dog" that they threaten us with, and that they will sacrifice, to absorb our first attack. But China's economy is in the tank, too (thanks to the "zero covid" policy).

Still, I wouldn't be surprised to find "Made in China" labels on a lot of their hardware.

(Except guidance systems, which they get from Russia.

North Korean media coverage of the launch and christening of the new submarine was extensive, including Kim Jong Un’s arrival at Sinpho to preside over the festivities. The new submarine was christened by Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui, the “Hero Kim Kun Ok” with the unit number 841. While some features of the new submarine, such as the stern’s propulsion system, were blurred in videos and photos from the event, several new features were revealed. This includes the submarine’s missile bay containing ten missile tube hatches, set in pairs, with the foreword four being larger in diameter than the aft six, indicating the submarine will be fitted with a mix of weapon systems. Further analysis is ongoing.

I wouldn't worry about the total number of missiles, since all missiles are not equal, but he has tested a few that have 1000 mile, or more, range. That is something that came to an end, while Trump was president.

North Korea fired more than 200 rounds of artillery shells on Friday near two South Korean islands in a disputed maritime boundary between the two countries, prompting Seoul to order the evacuation of its residents.

The artillery firing was in direct violation of a fragile military agreement reached in 2018 between South Korea and North Korea. It represents a further escalation of the tensions between Pyongyang and Seoul. The area was considered a non-hostility zone for the two rivals.

This is China's attack dog. We continue to show weakness, and weakness invites aggression.
