Article title
[edit]Are there clearly referenced sources which say the North Korean name of the organisation is the Second Artillery Corps? I would say the better title is Artillery Guidance Bureau. Thoughts? (Buckshot06, not logged on) 91.84.88.227 (talk) 17:24, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
- I guess not, Second Artillery Corps is the chinese nuclear force, not the north korean. The country study on North Korea says this : The army has 19 corps: 1 tank, 4 mechanized, 9 infantry, 1 artillery, the P’y4ngyang Defense Command, Border Security Command, Missile Guidance Bureau, and Light Infantry Training Guidance Bureau. [1] One place, where the missile forces are mentioned under the current name of the articler, is in this publication - By the mid-1980s, the KPA had activated a second artillery corps comprising long-range artillery assets, but here it isn't used in the meaning of an official name. - Tourbillon A ? 15:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- If there are no objections, I'll move it in a few days to "Artillery guidance bureau". - Tourbillon A ? 11:14, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Targeting Claims
[edit]I have a removed a statement saying that North Korean missiles were aimed at Tokyo. The article cited did not state this, it said targeting population centers in Japan and South Korea was a probability, but made no specific mention of Tokyo as a target. It seemed to be an opinion and not backed up by fact (I would also venture to guess that you will not find any DPRK targeting data in the public realm). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.140.121 (talk) 09:37, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
The epic 16-wheeler ICBM launcher
[edit]There should be a section, or somethig, about that epic 16-wheeler ICBM launcher that they showed this year. I've read that UN experts believe that the missiles that those chinese origin trucks were carrying are probably fakes and that north korea still doesn't have any actual ICBMs. The source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17867174

North Korean ballistic missiles in Cuba
[edit]For more information on unconfirmed reports of North Korean SRBMs being shipped to Cuba, see http://www.autentico.org/oa09738.php. Dr. David Kay, then leading the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's WMD investigations in Iraq, claimed to find evidence of North Korean missiles shipped to Cuba. If these allegations are true, then it would provide concrete evidence that Fidel Castro was looking to North Korea and Iran for help in upgrading his nation's military in the event that the US ever tried to overthrow his regime. It would also shed a spotlight on Castro's attitudes towards nuclear weapons, because the Castro brothers have made public statements calling for a nuclear-free Latin America and the older Castro recently questioned his wisdom in writing a letter urging the Soviet Union to launch a nuclear strike against the US if his nation was threatened). We're very fortunate that Cuba is the only US adversary that does not think about building WMDs to threaten the US, and if Castro had accepted the delivery of Hwasong-5 missiles, then we would have had a new Cuban Missile Crisis (just like some people refer to Alan Gross's captivity as the "Cuban Hostage Crisis"). Even more threatening would be Cuba's decision to use nuclear fuel from the unbuilt Juragua nuclear plant to manufacture nuclear warheads for the Hwasong missiles as as means of reinforcing its myth that the US is laying siege to Cuba just to rob the island of its independence. 68.4.28.33 (talk) 20:20, 2 February 2013 (UTC)Vahe Demirjian
Doubts about the missiles
[edit]removed rider at beginning of section
- This section predates the Kwangmyŏngsŏng-3 Unit 2 launch.
Its one thing to produce a one off rocket for a one off launch and another to begin series production of a workable system.--KTo288 (talk) 05:53, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Is the missile general bureau really the same as the previous korean strategic force?
[edit]Despite the recent edit, there really isnt a clear indication that the two organizations are supposed to be the same organization, despite its similar roles. I think we should make a seperate article. Waltzingmogumogupeach (talk) 19:19, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
isnt it fair to right in the article they control north koreas conventional strategic and tactical missiles, noting the missiles in the inventory 2A00:23C5:348D:4301:E0E8:ED7E:D9F8:7F70 (talk) 18:30, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
