◇Anchor> This part was really interesting, too, that the Kremlin informed the United States of the launch 30 minutes before the missile was launched. With common sense of ordinary people like me, I think it would be a little strange to tell them before attacking, so what kind of intention can I see it with?

◆Park Won-gon> This is very important. It's actually the United States and the Soviet Union and Russia at the end of the Cold War in the late '80s and early '90s. We reached an agreement with each other. In this way, a system has been established in which the other country automatically informs each other when using these missiles for testing or training. So, as it is known again this time, in the case of Russia, there is a national nuclear threat reduction center. There is a similar reduction center in the United States on the other side. In this case, the information will be automatically forwarded. If there is such a military activity, the encrypted communication channel is operated between the United States and Russia, so the alarm is automatically sent about the missile launch. However, this is the case for the test launch or training that I mentioned. In practice, it doesn't go. So, you might misunderstand that doing something like this is for training. In particular, as I said, it is a missile capable of carrying nuclear weapons, so if it is mistaken, the United States is also supposed to automatically respond to it with a nuclear missile. If so, it's true that the United States and Russia are building this system because it's immediately escalating into a nuclear war.

◇Anchor> And it is said that the name launched by Russia this time was Oresynik, which means hazelnut, which is commonly known. Should I say that there's a meaning to this, too?

◆Park Won-gon> It has the meaning of the multiple warheads I mentioned earlier. In the case of hazelnuts, aren't they in the form of several fruits hanging on the ends of branches? Therefore, it means that there are a wide variety of warheads and various warheads within one warhead. So I think that's why I named it so meaningful. As I said, this is basically a nuclear warhead. Although the missile fired this time is known to be equipped with conventional warheads, it has been confirmed that it did not cause much damage. It means that it can be used as a nuclear warhead rather than a conventional warhead. And because multiple warheads spread at once, it's hard to defend against, as I said, and it's a very destructive missile that can attack a wide variety of targets.

◇Anchor> If you say multi-warhead missiles, can you load all kinds of warheads with nuclear weapons?

◆Park Won-gon> That's right. It's a nuclear warhead. So there are 8 to 15 big warheads.Ma is in that form of self-deprecation. Each of them is a nuclear warhead, so it's very destructive.
