Pudgy Squanders Fortune on Missile Launches | |
2016-08-01 | |
![]() They were 16 Scud missiles with a range of 300-1,000 km, six Rodong with a range of 1,300 km, six Hwasong-10 with a range of 3,500 km, and three submarine-launched missiles, the Defense Ministry here said Wednesday. That is nearly double the 16 ballistic missiles his father Kim Jong-il fired in his entire 18 years at the helm. Scud and Rodong missiles cost W1-2 billion each if measured by their export prices for Middle Eastern countries. The regime has fired a total of 22 such missiles, meaning their total cost is W22-44 billion. Each Hwasong-10, formerly known as Musudan, is estimated at W3-6 billion, three times as much as the Scud missile, which means the regime has wasted W18-36 billion firing six. The SLBMs the regime is developing cost an estimated W5-10 billion each. With that money the regime could have purchased enough grain to feed the entire population for a month or two.
