Kim Jong Un ‘amassing deadly arsenal of 240 nukes and ballistic missiles to wipe out the West’
Apr 13, 2021
KIM Jong Un could be assembling a deadly arsenal of 240 nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles which could wipe out the West.
A think tank report has warned allies must identify strategies to counter any nuclear warfare attempts by North Korea that "could cause millions of deaths".
The research report by the Asan Institute for Policy Studies and the Rand Corp has estimated the country could have up to 242 nuclear weapons and dozens of intercontinental ballistic missiles by 2027.
It says Kim Jong Un "appears to be building a nuclear weapon force capable of enabling peninsula dominance", warning "enhanced" South Korea and US defences "to sustain deterrence" should be put in place.
The report, titled Countering the Risks of North Korean Nuclear Weapons, said: "It is estimated that the total number of North Korea's nuclear weapons by 2027 would be between 151 and 242, in addition to tens of mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles
"We estimate North Korea's number of nuclear weapons from 2017 through 2027, with the starting value of 30 to 60 nuclear weapons in 2017, with one to two plutonium weapons added by 2020, and with the numbers growing by either 12 weapons per year or 18 weapons per year."
It has called for Seoul and Washington to look into options such as dedicating US strategic nuclear weapons to targeting the North to deter any nuclear warfare attempts.
