Where did the North Koreans got their missile technology from?

A lot of people cannot help but become curious about the origin of the missile technology that North Korea is using right now. Some say that the technology may have come from Yuzhmash, but a lot of people who are interviewed about this will say that this is not true.

According to some speculations, this rocket manufacturer company is facing some financial problems, and it is likely that some of its technologies were smuggled to North Korea, which explains why they now have missiles that they are trying to test one by one. The fact that there are so many details that are available about the missiles has allowed North Korea to make further changes to make their missiles even stronger.

North Korean obtained its missile technology using a number of different sources and methods. A new report in the media in September, 2017, claimed North Korea purchased Ukraine rocket engines from a factory using the black market. The report did not provide any evidence, only suspicion. Also, the Soviet Union and North Korea signed a joint research agreement dealing with nuclear weapons in 1956. This was during the Cold War.

At that time, Korean scientists went to the Soviet Union for nuclear weapons training. China also aided North Korea by helping them to find uranium deposits throughout their country. Lastly, in 2011 the Washington Post published information that suggested top officials in Pakistan’s military were bribed to reveal nuclear secrets.
