Not all of the DPRK's ballistic missile tests were successful. Despite this, North Korean Hwasong missiles are capable of reaching American territory.

This opinion is expressed in the newspaper The New York Times (USA).

"It is believed that North Korea has enough plutonium and enriched uranium to produce 45 to 55 nuclear weapons, and perhaps 20 to 30 warheads have already been assembled"

- notes the US media.

At the same time, the publication draws attention to the fact that the new intercontinental ballistic missiles Hwasong-17, created in the DPRK, have sufficient range to reach the territory of the United States without problems.

Pyongyang decided to develop this weapon shortly after the US-North Korean talks that took place in 2017 failed.

The next tests of this rocket have recently passed. The prototype overcame almost a thousand kilometers, falling into the Sea of Japan 200 kilometers from the island of Hokkaido. The events were personally observed by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and his daughter, who appeared in public for the first time.

North Korean ballistic missile launches in the direction of the Sea of Japan occur with frightening regularity. In addition, Pyongyang is beginning to actively develop its space program. In particular, the DPRK specialists are creating their own satellite designed to carry out intelligence activities.
