DC Tom Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Any idea or guess on the potential yield of this test bomb? Current estimates are 6kt...which is either "not a successful test," or the North Koreans have managed some seventy years of technological advancement in about six years.
Deranged Rhino Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Current estimates are 6kt...which is either "not a successful test," or the North Koreans have managed some seventy years of technological advancement in about six years. ...or they had help?
DC Tom Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 ...or they had help? From who? No country who would help them has that capability, unless you want to posit that the Russians or Chinese are being two-faced about it.
Deranged Rhino Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 From who? No country who would help them has that capability, unless you want to posit that the Russians or Chinese are being two-faced about it. No idea. Just saying it's another possibility for how they could make that kind of jump in tech so quickly.

TakeYouToTasker Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) From who? No country who would help them has that capability, unless you want to posit that the Russians or Chinese are being two-faced about it. I can't imagine any scenario in which this is a strong strategic ploy for Putin. Chinese relations with Pyongyang have become strained recently over the domestic "disappearance" of North Korea's abasador to China, whom China apparently had a strong functional relationship with. It isn't China either. I lean strong toward "fizzle" as well. Edited January 7, 2016 by TakeYouToTasker
