This Hwasong-17 is an amazing achievement. For sure.
But I think it is not cost effective compared with Hwasong-15. Which could basically already hit the entire US as it is.
I think they would have been better off switching to solid rocket development and reducing launch preparation time.

Continuing with the above discussion and if you have had a bad day this will cheer you up. My sincere compliments to the artists ho made this.
I didn't realise the North Koreans had tested a thermonuclear device. That's impressive after only 6 nuclear tests and in such short a time.
The North Korean path to nuclear weapons is the right way to go IMO. Work on your missiles first then develop your warheads. It's also the path that Iran seems to be chosing.

North Korean Launch ICBM Hwasong-17
Estimated range for Hwasong-17?
Should be technically a bit longer range than Hwasong-15 right?

Based on the apogee which is some 6248 km according to Wiki.. and with some simplified Ballistic missile rules of thumb. The missile can go about 24900 km. which rougly twice than any ballistic missiles except the Voevoda.
Usually it's vertical launch distance *3 i think. What would it do at 25000 km ?
This is doubtful....
