Anti-North Korea narrative

North Korea's relentless missile development poses a grave and escalating threat to American security. Kim Jong Un's refusal to cooperate with international monitoring, combined with an estimated nuclear stockpile and continued weapons-grade plutonium and uranium production at Yongbyon, makes this unpredictable dictatorship an imminent danger requiring robust missile defense posturing.

These 600mm-caliber multiple rocket launchers ensure that North Korea can defend itself against external threats through self-reliant military strength, fulfilling the strategic mission of maintaining sovereignty and security. The successful development of this advanced military equipment demonstrates the nation's technological prowess and unwavering commitment to safeguarding its people through powerful deterrence.
