I should think it is obvious that North korea is producing the Mig 29.They have a very advanced machine tool industry that is at the most ten years behind ours.Since the Mig 29 was designed thirty years ago it should be relatively easy for North Korea to copy it.In any case the Mig 29 that North Korea is using appears to be the more advanced Mig29C version.I do not think any country that possesed this advanced version would be willing to sell it.The Mig 29 C is noticable for its hunch back on its spine which contains additional fuel and avionics. It has been stated many times that no one knows where North Korea obtained their Mig 29s they have so I think it is obvious that they are producing them.It would be in agreement with their stated Jucche self reliance goals.
I do not believe that north korea wants a war.I believe that the reason they are developing nuclear weapons is that in case of a war we would not be tempted to use such weapons against them.They are indeed afraid of South Korea as they have developed their military into an extremely modern formidable force.They remember all to well that we came very close to using nuclear weapons against them during the last korean war.That is why I believe using sanctions against them is a waste of time.China who also recalls being a target of these nuclear weapons is not completely unsympathetic to the north korean position.
After hearing over and over again how backwards and primative North Korea is compared to South Korea I find it rather amusing that the North Koreans were able to orbit a satelite long before the South Koreans were able to.This despite the fact that the South Koreans are receiving considerable help from the Russians in their program and the North Koreans are using only their own technology.You have to wonder what other lies we are hearing about the North Koreans.I also thought it rather amusing that the North Koreans had to hide the time they were going to launch to prevent it from being shot down like the last rocket.
Many people have commented about the low yields of the nuclear weapon tests in north korea.However there are claims that what the North Koreans are trying to develope is something called a super EMP weapon.According to reports I have read such a device detonated high in the atmosphere can destroy the electronics for hundreds of miles around everything from computers to the electronic ignition in automobiles would be rendered useless.From what I have read General Swardskopf requested permission from then President Bush to use such a device prior to invading Iraq but was denied.It should be obvious that such weapons would be used in any invasion of North Korea.I am sure that the North Koreans are well aware of this and would be insane to not try to develop their own version.Such a weapon would not require a very high yield to be effective and thus the relatively low yields in the tests.
