North Korea will beef up its nuclear arsenal with hundreds of missiles in the next six years, a new report says

North Korea would have 242 nuclear weapons together with dozens of mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles by 2027, according to a jointby Seoul-based Asan Institute for Policy Studies and the Rand Corp. in Santa Monica, California.

The report said that the North Korean regime develops nuclear weapons as a means to achieving the following three goals: “1) ensure regime survival and maintain absolute control over its territory; 2) pursue unification with ROK under North Korea’s leadership, as the existence of a free and affluent ROK threatens the regime; and 3) challenge the US dominance and avoid overdependence on China by becoming a regional great power.

Based on these numbers, “the total number of North Korea’s nuclear weapons by 2027 would be between 151 and 242, in addition to tens of mobile Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles ,” the report forecasted. Furthermore, the dictatorship could use its nuclear arsenal not only against US bases in the Asia-Pacific region and Japan, but also on American mainland, too.“The allies should destroy and neutralise North Korea’s nuclear and missile bases, facilities, and command and communication facilities to prevent it from using nuclear tipped missiles,” the report reads.
