Recently , the DPRK successfully tested the Hwasong-pho 17 ICBM which represented a great advance in missile technology but we are here tonight to recall an earlier great achievement
Five years ago on the 29th of November 2017, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea tested the Hwasong -15 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile under the guidance of the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN , an ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander who guides the successful defence building of the DPRK and is defying US imperialist pressure and diktat .
Although since then the DPRK has tested even more powerful missiles, the Hwasong 15 ICBM was a watershed moment because it basically completed the process of the DPRK becoming a nuclear power and an ICBM power . The DPRK had raced across the ultimate nuclear finishing line with credit .
The Hwasong 15 ICBM was tested at a time when the US imperialists had through their puppet UN Security Council imposed massive sanctions on the DPRK . Tension was running high because the US imperialists and south Korean puppets had carried out many military exercises and the US had threatened to unleash ‘fire and fury ‘ on the DPRK .
At 02.48 hours in the morning of the 29th of November the Hwasong -15 ICBM, a new type of ICBM blasted off in the darkness . The missile reached an altitude of 4 475 km and made a flight over the distance of 950 km for 53 minutes before making an accurate landing in the waters of the open sea in the East Sea of Korea.
Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN himself guided the test of the ICBM in person .Although it was the early hours of the morning , the Marshal denied himself sleep and rest to come out to the cold and frosty testing ground of the missile. Those venal imperialist politicians who hurl abuse and slander at the DPRK would have been fast asleep.However respected Marshal KIM JONG UN believes in leading from the front , he is not an armchair general but a man of action , a strong and dynamic leader who is always with the people and the soldiers.
The Hwasong 15 was more advanced than the Hwasong 14 ICBM that was tested in July 2017. The Hwasong 15 was able to strike all of the US mainland , which means in simple terms that the US imperialists may be able to run but they can never hide from the powerful retaliatory nuclear strike of the heroic Korean People's Army commanded by the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN . Thus the nuclear monopoly of the US imperialists has been shattered . Now the DPRK and US are facing each other on a level playing field . Korea is not the old feudal Korea of the 1900s which was totally powerless in the face of the Japanese empire nor is the Korea of the 1950s . The hired hacks and so-called experts of US imperialism are saying openly that the DPRK has reached the goal of having an ICBM that can hit the United States mainland , much earlier than they expected , maybe one year earlier than predicted . Thus the calculations of the US imperialists were torn to shreds .
It is said that the Hwasong 15 soared to a height 10 times that of the International Space Station. This is incredible . The scientific and technical advance of People's Korea is something truly phenomenal , absolutely breathtaking .Even the US imperialist's own experts are conceding that the DPRK has made big strides forward .The British newspaper the "Independent " quoting an American expert stated "Several analysts noted that the missile looked like the American Titan II, which was initially an ICBM but was then later used by the US Air Force and Nasa as a space launch vehicle."
The scientists and technicians of People's Korea produced a new type ICBM in the space of a mere 3 or 4 months . It would take some countries years and even decades to do this. It becomes even more amazing when some facts are taken into consideration.Firstly some developed or advanced countries do not have their own ICBM . Britain scrapped its own medium range ballistic missile the Blue Streak in the late 60s . Imperialist countries such as Japan , Germany and Italy do not have their own ICBMs. Secondly, it is an advance that has not taken place under ideal conditions but conditions of multiple sanctions imposed by the US imperialists and their marionette the UN Security Council and also the EU, Japan ,south Korea and other puppets and lackeys of US imperialism.The ICBM Hwasong-15 weapon system is a Juche based self-reliant one , which was developed with domestic efforts and technology 100 percent to suit the specific conditions of the country .The great advances made by DPRK scientists in the field of ICBM technology could also be applied to civilian space programme of the DPRK as well as other fields of science and technology . Truly the DPRK under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is becoming an advanced sci-tech power and will soon overtake the imperialist countries in the field of science and technology. I witnessed this myself visiting the Sci-Tech Complex in Pyongyang several times.
It is probable that the successful test fire of the Hwasong 15 ICBM in November 2017 was the reason why the then US president Trump did an about face and decided to enter into negotiations with the DPRK even holding 2 summits with respected Marshal KIM JONG UN.
The Hwasong 15 ICBM test was a great advance that has been achieved by Juche Korea under the wise leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN . What did it show? Firstly , it showed that the advance of the DPRK in nuclear and missile technology is unstoppable no matter what sanctions the US imperialists may impose. Secondly , it proved the correctness of the line of building the economy and nuclear force in parallel. Thirdly, it demonstrated the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and the self-development first idea . Fourthly, it was a manifestation of the validity and vitality of the Juche Idea and Songun Idea. Some reactionaries and revisionists like to be dismissive of Juche and the DPRK but the Hwasong 15 ICBM test proved them wrong . Finally , it demonstrated the will of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN and the Korean people to carry out the line of building up the self-defence potential of the DPRK .
To conclude here , I think it is important to stress a few things namely that it is the independent and sovereign right of the DPRK to conduct ICBM tests as these are for self-defence against the increasing threat from US imperialism which has deployed both conventional and nuclear forces in and around the Korean peninsula . Some say that the DPRK should rely on others for its defence and not build strategic weapons , However this fallacy was shattered 60 years ago when the USSR pulled its missiles that it had deployed in Cuba after being threatened by the US . Moreover Russia has shown itself to be a less than efficient ally as demonstrated by the shortcomings of its special military operation in Ukraine and China was shaking hands with Biden . The DPRK is absolutely correct to rely on itself for its defence and not entrust its destiny to others . The DPRK will not be a bargaining chip for others.
