| DoorBert (OP) User ID: 870568 12/27/2012 09:11 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "David Wright of the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists analyzes the debris from North Korea's December 11th Unha-3 launch. From the article: 'According to press reports, traces on the inner walls of the tank show that the first-stage oxidizer is a form of nitric acid called “red-fuming nitric acid,” which is the standard oxidizer used in Scud-type missiles. There had been some speculation that this stage might instead use a more advanced fuel with nitrogen tetroxide (NTO) as the oxidizer. Since the Nodong engines believed to power the first stage are scaled-up Scud engines, the use of RNFA is not a surprise. There have also been claims that the stage uses a more advanced fuel called UDMH, but it appears instead to be the kerosene-based fuel used in Scuds. In his recent RAND study, Markus Schiller noted that a test Iraq performed using UDMH in a Scud engine gave poor performance, and that burning UDMH gives a transparent flame. The North Korean video of the launch instead shows an orange flame characteristic of Scud fuels. These findings confirm that the stage is still Scud-level technology.'"

Quoting: natasha77 I am a strong advocate against nukes but in North Korea's case I'd have to agree...there is no other way of bringing NK down with South Korea and especially its capital, Seoul still standing ! NK has thousands of heavy artillery guns, entrenched and spread out throughout the border and they have Seoul in range ! Any conventional attack by the US on NK, no matter how swift and powerful would still result in the complete obliteration of Seoul and the killing of millions of civilians ! Not even the mighty USAF can identify and take out that many hidden artillery positions before they manage to level that city ! |

| Dixie Normous User ID: 11619293 12/27/2012 09:44 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Comes on heels of the country's launch of a satellite into orbit a few weeks ago.
