Seoul: The shooting of North Korea from a ballistic missile launched submarine suspected to sea on Thursday, if confirmed, will mark the latest increase in nuclear armed countries in weapons technology.
Here we look back at the development of nuclear weapons which are prohibited from the regime and ballistic missile programs: North Korea began working in the late 1970s in the Soviet-B missile version of the Scud-B with around 300 kilometers (about 200 miles), bringing out his first test in 1984 .
Between 1987 and 1992, began developing remote missiles, including Taepodong-1 (2,500 km) and Taepodong-2 (6,700 km).
Taepodong-1 was being fired above Japan in 1998 but the following year, Pyongyang stated the moratorium on the test as a bond with the United States increased.
It ended the moratorium in 2005, blaming the policy of “hostile” George W.
Bush “, and conducted his first nuclear test on October 9, 2006.

Kim Jong UN Replacing his father Kim Jong Il – who died in December 2011 – and oversees the third nuclear test in 2013.
There was a fourth underground nuclear test in January 2016, which was claimed by Pyongyang was a hydrogen bomb.
In March, Kim claimed North Has managed to accommodate the thermonuclear warhead , and in April tested the ballistic missiles launched submarines.
On August 3, it lights up, for the first time, a ballistic missile directly into the waters controlled by Japan.
Then that month, he managed to test another before.
There is a test The fifth nuclear on September 9 between February and May, North tested a series of ballistic missiles that fell into the Japanese Sea.
Pyongyang claims this is an exercise for K hit a US basis in Japan.
The test on May 14 is the “strategic strategic ballistic rocket new / long-term developed, Hwasong-12”, said Pyongyang.
It flew 700 kilometers before landing in the Japanese sea.
Two months later, North Korea announced it successfully tested on July 4th.
Inter-continent ballistic missiles capable of reaching Alaska – prizes for “American bastards” announced on US independence day.
There was a second ICBM test that was successful on July 28.
Then – President Donald Trump threatened Pyongyang on August 8 with “Fire and Fury” for his missile program.
North Korea conducted the sixth nuclear test and the largest on September 3, 2017.
Monitoring group estimated 250 kiloton results, namely 16 times the size of the 15-kiloton US bomb which destroyed Hiroshima in 1945.
On September 15, less than a week after the United Nations adopted a series of eighth sanctions , North Korea fired medium-distance missiles to Japan.
Only more than a month later, Washington stated North Korea as a sponsor of terrorism countries, the day before adding pressure on a state isolated with new sanctions.
On November 29, North Korea launched the new Hwasong-15 ICBM, which he claimed to be able to provide “super large heavy warheads” anywhere on the US land.
Analysts agreed that rockets were able to reach the US but voiced skeptics that Pyongyang had mastered the advanced technology needed to allow rockets to survive into the Earth’s atmosphere.
In his new year’s speech, Kim stated that the development of North Korea’s nuclear style was completed.
Catalysed by the winter Olympics in the south, melting diplomatic that quickly began in February.
On April 21, Pyongyang said the nuclear explosion and the launch of the ICBM would immediately stop and the atomic test site at the PoldiceGy-RI would be dismantled to “guarantee the transparent” end of testing.
After the Hanoi summit in February 2019, negotiations between the US and North Korea came deadlocked roads.
New tensions have been raised since mid 2021 with North Korea doing several fire tests, including Pyongyang said it was a new hypersonic gliding missile.
On Tuesday, the South Korean military said Pyongyang had fired alleged ballistic missiles launching a submarine to the sea.
