North Korea has a new guided missile destroyer that they built in 400 days. It comes loaded with 74 vertical launch cells, cruise missiles, and lots of influence from Russia and China.
It opens up a lot of possibilities for the hermit kingdom, and has the potential to bring key US targets into range. But, even with these new capabilities and weapons, is it a real threat?
In this video we break down the ship’s stats, what it can actually do, and whether it actually challenges US interests in the region.
