North Korea, a country often labeled "mysterious," has remained relatively closed to this day. But don't underestimate it, North Korea's military strength should not be underestimated. Except for the carriers, they are equipped with almost all high-tech weapons, not to mention the impressive nuclear weapons and Hwasong-18 intercontinental missiles. The theoretical range of this missile can reach an astonishing 15,000 kilometers, in other words, the continental United States may be hit within half an hour. Coupled with the cohesion of all the people of the DPRK and its strong will to fight, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a military power.
But guess what? In the eyes of the North Korean people, there are four other countries that make them feel "really strong"!
4th place: Germany
Although Germany may seem "mild-mannered" now, during World War II, it was definitely the hegemon that swept across Europe. Back then, Germany under the leadership of Hitler single-handedly challenged the whole of Europe and turned the Soviet Union upside down. To be honest, if Hitler had developed nuclear weapons earlier, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Even now, trade between Germany and North Korea is still very close, especially in the context of long-term US sanctions, which makes this friendship even more valuable.
3rd place: Russia
Don't look at Russia's economy is a little "weak" now, but its military strength is definitely the best in the world. Inheriting the Soviet Union's "big base", Russia's nuclear weapons stockpile is the largest in the world. Back then, after the Korean War, the vitality was greatly damaged, and it was the big brother of the Soviet Union who lent a helping hand and allowed North Korea to recover quickly. To this day, North Korea and Russia continue to cooperate closely in weapons research and development. Perhaps, North Korea can become a nuclear power because of Russia's contribution to it.
2nd place: United States
North Korea and the United States, the relationship between these two can be said to be "love and kill each other". Although they don't like each other, the DPRK knows very well in their hearts that the strength of the United States should not be underestimated. Back then, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Japan during World War II, which indirectly helped North Korea and freed them from the fate of being colonized by Japan. Unfortunately, politics is very complicated, the Korean Peninsula was divided into two, North Korea wanted to reunify, but the United States intervened, and as a result, North Korea suffered a big loss in the war. But then again, in the eyes of the North Korean people, the United States is an "evil organization" - but its strength still has to be recognized.
1st place: China
When it comes to the relationship between China and North Korea, it is really at the level of "iron buddy". In addition to the probable good relations, China's hard power is also admired by North Korea. Electromagnetic catapults, hypersonic weapons...... China has all these high-tech gadgets, and in some respects they even surpass the United States. The Korean War not only made the Korean people remember it, but also let the whole world see China's strength. Even MacArthur, an old general, sighed in his later years: Whoever dares to go to war with the Chinese Army must have something wrong with his brain!
So, when I say that North Korea's ranking is really "very Korean" - both subjective and objective, both grateful and realistic. These four countries are all "heavyweights" in the hearts of the North Korean people!
