Eight Lessons for North Korea’s Nuclear and Missile Forces From the Ongoing Iran Conflict
“Although we have not yet seen any public commentary from Pyongyang on what it is learning from the war or the steps it might take in response, and we may never see this kind of messaging, assessing key aspects of the ongoing Epic Fury operation given the North’s strategic situation and force posture results in eight key lessons for its nuclear and missile forces. These include the value of retaining nuclear weapons and the risks of US military buildups, the need to address leadership and road-mobile missile vulnerabilities, and the effectiveness of US and allied air operations and missile defenses. It also strongly underscores the need for the North to have larger conventional missile stockpiles and to bolster its drone and counter-drone capabilities. Pyongyang should be able to address the eight lessons outlined below using programs and capabilities already underway, but will need to further increase holdings of the associated weapons systems, as well as reexamine and update some important command/control and operational procedures and concepts, to be more effective in a future conflict.”
