North Korea has likely completed construction of a submarine with a displacement of about 3,000 tons, capable of carrying three ballistic missiles (SLBMs), which are usually equipped with nuclear warheads. Yonhap writes about it.
The northerners showed SLBMs of a new type back in January, when they held a regular military parade.
The South Korean agency cites intelligence and government officials in South Korea that the isolated country has finished building a new submarine at a shipyard in Shinpo.

Now Pyongyang is allegedly waiting for the “right moment” to launch it, “to achieve a strategic effect, including maximum pressure on the United States.”
There is no information on the technical characteristics of the submarine, except for the fact that it is about seven meters wide and about 80 meters long.It was she who was inspected at the shipyard in the summer of 2019 by the head of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un.
According to the source, the northerners “can launch SLBMs” as a test, and South Korea and its American allies “are closely monitoring the situation and are ready for all kinds of scenarios.”
