I wouldn't have thought that the delivery platform is the big question here.
(You could put it on a freighter and it could still get to New York...)

Thanks for the clarification.

Btw, just for your clarification, Nuclear warheads aren't designed to "hit" anything.

Hardly news - they exploded a nuclear warhead about a year or two ago.

You should upgrade to a North Korean anorak if you want the benefit of full protection. DiscoStu Ltd will shortly be importing these and offering them to CUK members at a generous discount.

It's taking them a long time to build a bomb and kill us all, innit?

Upwards of 45 days...

North Korea makes warheads

Hidden away in the Sunday times(Bottom of page 26) was the following...

Originally posted by Sunday Times

North Korea has made into weapons 68lb of plutonium, enough material for five nuclear warheads, said Selig Harrison, an American nuclear expert, after meeting North Korean officials in Pyongyang. He was told the warheads could not be inspected.

Oh, that's alright then!
