Pak exchanged N-tech for N Korean long range missiles: US​

WASHINGTON: North Korea received designs for uranium enrichment centrifuges from Pakistan's disgraced nuclear scientist A Q Khan in return for its
long-range missiles, a Congressional report has told US lawmakers.

"Hwang Jang-yop, a Communist Party secretary who defected in 1997, has stated that North Korea and Pakistan agreed in the summer of 1996 to trade North Korean long-range missile technology for Pakistani HEU (highly enriched uranium) technology," the report on North Korean nuclear weapons programme has said.

Other information on North Korean-Pakistani cooperation dates back to 1993, said the report by Congressional Research Service (CRS) - the research wing of the US Congress.

North Korea has been exporting missiles to countries in the Middle East and South Asia and has had joint collaboration in development of missiles with Iran and Pakistan, it said.

In the 1990s, North Korea exported Scud and Nodong missiles to Pakistan, Iran, Yemen, Syria and reportedly Egypt. It entered into joint development programmes with both Pakistan and Iran.

Pyongyang received designs for uranium enrichment centrifuges from Pakistan nuclear "czar" A Q Khan and has attempted to purchase overseas key components for uranium enrichment centrifuges, but some of these purchases have been blocked, according to the report.

AQ Khan's organization fielded the Ghauri, which was liquid fueled and matched the profile of the North Korean Nodong.

However, there was a parallel program led by NESCOM that developed the Shaheen Missile family, which was solid fueled and the Shaheen II at the time did not fit the profile of any North Korean or Chinese systems.

The Shaheen family of missiles is more advanced than the original Ghauri.

Our Indian friends digging up BS again ic lol haha nothing better to do unreal stop this silly bull!

how old is this? I didn't see a date on the article.

Also, don't be so quick to dismiss the article, the story doesn't seem too far fetched in my opinion. As was mentioned above, the article isn't necessarily saying that all Pakistani missiles were developed with North Korean help, but it is safe to say that there was certainly some collaboration.

It seems rather irresponsible to proliferate nuclear technology, especially to a country held hostage by a mad man. Are the implications simply not understood or is it because of a blatant disregard for life? why not just work with the Chinese? A far better option I'd imagine.

this is the result of isolation and sanctions.
pakistan was cornered into doing this. the sooner world realises it the better. if they do it again to pakistan or other countries then u cannot predict the actions of that state.

^^ That's ironic, because actions like these will only further justify sanctions.

If the countries imposing the sanctions have more options at their disposal, then I think their actions would be harder to predict. Pakistan should have simply worked with China, why N.Korea, that's obviously not going to work in their favor.

Sanctions? What Pakistan specific sanctions were there at that time (1996)?

Common TOPGUN you can do better than that. It is a fact that nuclear technology was traded for missiles. Traded to who?, a ruthless dictator and God knows who else got nuclear technology from AQ Khan.
