There is no secret. They've been developing missile and nuclear tecnologies for decades. It is only now that they decided to show/test their work. They are launching sattelites into orbit since 1990s'.
It is confirmed this was an ICBM on lofted trajectory with 4000-4500 km altitude. This is about 12000km if it were launched on normal trajectory. I think this one covers whole of US mainland.
^As I recall, last time Hwasong-14 flew for 47 minutes and estimates that one could possibly reach Chicago maybe even New York. This one is bigger and probably surpassed altitude of 4000km.
This missile allegedly flew for 50 minutes and reached 1000 km distance. If this is true than it is most likely Hwasong-14 launched at steep trajectory. 50 minutes flight, this is best they've done so far. This projectile could reach New York. THIS IS BIG ONE!
^I've read lot of muslim religious interpretations on internet but there are only 3 things they have in common:
1. Imam Maghdi
2. Army from Khorasan
3. Big battle in Syria(or Israel, or Saudi Arabia)
Some quote army from Khorasan under black flags which sounds like ISIS. Some say army from...

Very simple question but very hard to answer. As we are witnessing, tensions are little bit escalating: North Korea, South China Sea, etc... There are some speculations that some kind of conflict between two countries might emerge in near future but it is very hard or maybe impossible to foresee...

On the other hand, are there Punjabi people who live in India? This all confuses me...because from my ignorance I always related Punjabi with India rather than Pakistan. I was actually so stupid that I always thought that Punjabi were important ethnic majority or minority in India. But now I...
I believe I start to understand it: Waziri(people who live in Waziristan) are most likely Pashtun ethnic people than, right?
And in all, we can say there are 4 major ethnic groups in Pakistan:
Punjabi
Pashtun
S....what is the word...Sindh or Sindhi
Balochi
Am I right about that?
Also word...
Aha, thank you all for those posts above. That's precisely what I was asking about. So, can we say that Punjabi is major ethnicity in modern Pakistan?
And also, what is Urdu? Is Urdu the same as Punjabi language maybe?
I am not sure if you are implying on Russia or China. Most certainly North Korea relies on Russian technology and Chinese material support. Yet I am not sure in what extent. Because if you do imply that Russia or China provided North Korea ICBM, well, they did not towed an ICBM on a truck across...
Let me put it this way: I really don't know much about Pakistan. All I know is it is situated north of India and south of Afghanistan. Capital and largest city is Islamabad. Official language is Urdu. Dominant religion is Islam. From what I can tell for sure is existance of at least two...
Very hard to foretell the future but as for now I think North Korea is benefiting the situation because they gained ICBM which they did not have before.
