I guess a nuclear backpack is one of those things you just claim to have. You don't have to have it but the opposition has to factor in that you might....

Similar thing occured in the 70s, I think. Argentina was thought to be about to invade the Falklands and the British Govt issued a statement saying it "Couldn't confirm whether a British submarine was operating in the SOuth Atlantic or not". The Argentines had to presume there was and cancelled invasion preparations. (As it turned out, there was no submarine).

Oh, and the size of the explosions in the first two tests are just too coincidentally close to the reported sizes of the backpack nukes. Looking like we'll get more data to work with next springish... http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101215/wl_ ... north_test

Linky?

Anyway, if they have the backpack type (possible) and a handful of willing commandos (definite yes), they've got a delivery system.

You posted it. :fp:
Where NK admitted that they didn't have one, or where outside analysts have stated that their estimation is such?

Linky if you find where NK admitted it. I don't read half of what I post. :shifty:

(I did re-read everything I've posted recently, tho.)

FBM, the only reason they brag about backpack nukes is because that's the best system they have.

If FBM does get obliterated, we'll all get the chance to incorporate some of his electrons. A little bit of FBM in every rat....

It's enough if you live here. Anyway, they didn't brag about them. Analysts just think it's either possible or likely.
