On-point: North Korea to launch spy satellite as early as this week: Seoul’s defense minister
북, 군사 정찰위성 발사 임박? 신원식 “이르면 금주 발사“
North Korea’s third attempt to launch its first spy satellite into the orbit may take place within a week or so in fact, as early as this week.
For more, let’s turn to Bruce Bennett this morning.
Welcome back.
1. It is highly likely that the launch will take place in the coming weeks, if not, within this year, because making it a success is one of the regime’s major military goals of 2023, right?
2. This past Saturday, November 18, was a North Korean holiday that marked the test-firing of its Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile in 2022. Despite expectations, the day went by without any special event or celebration. Why do you think the North kept quiet?
3. Back in 2021, the North designated November 29 as “Rocket Industry Day” to celebrate the anniversary of the country’s largest-ever nuclear missile test, but the regime’s calendar this year didn’t show the anniversary.
Will the regime’s 2024 calendar give more clues about “Missile Industry Day”?
4. It’s been a while since leader Kim Jong-un has been seen in public. Why is this?
(If there are no health-related issues, what is he up to? Keeping low-profile and following latest diplomatic developments like the summit between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping? Keeping its silence in the midst of international criticism over its arms deals with Russia?)
5. Should we expect a plenary meeting in the North at the end of the year or beginning of the new year? What kind of goals do you think the regime will lay out for the new year?
Thank you as always for your insight.
We appreciate it.
