North Korea makes major strides in missiles and nuclear tech
North Korea has achieved significant gains in ballistic missiles and nuclear weapon design. Despite only one nuclear test in 2017, a Sept. 3 blast yielded an estimated 140 to 250 kilotons, with experts calling it a real H-Bomb. The Hwasong-15 flight in November suggested a potential 8,100 mile range.
