Michael Elleman, a missile expert, told Fox News on Thursday North Korea built an entirely new ICBM that was larger and has more thrust power than initially thought. The mock warhead on Wednesday’s ICBM most likely weighed around 330 pounds based on the estimated 8,100-mile range it could reach. Kim would have to develop a nuclear warhead that weighs less than 1,100 pounds to reach the U.S.’ West Coast. North Korea’s state newspaper released on Thursday dozens of photos of the missile test, including Kim in mid-laugh while staring out the window. He then declared hours after ordering the ICBM launch that North Korea had “finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force.”
