The expert said that his words were blatantly misrepresented by journalists.
An expert on missile technology Michael Elleman, which refer to the authors of a supposed Ukrainian rocket engines in the DPRK, said that the newspaper made the wrong conclusions.
“I don’t know what sources were used in the New York Times, I only know what I told them. I am a technical person, I just analyzed that North Korea makes. It became apparent that North Korea obtained some technology, and if we narrow down the sources of this technology, analyzing her last test and the engine parameters, it is possible to understand what changes they made. all this reduces the range of sources that could provide them with this technology “, – said Elleman.
According to him, the Russian government until 2006 sakupova in Ukrainian “Yuzhmash” launch vehicles “Cyclone-2”. At those sites where they launched the rockets probably still have the parts and technology that would allow Pyongyang to make the necessary modifications.
He also noted that his comments do NOT contend that technology in the DPRK came from Ukraine. And even if such information is reliable, says Alleman, it is, as he says, could happen without the Ukrainian government.
“I don’t think that the Ukrainian government could be involved in this situation. If such technology came from Ukraine, they (the authorities – ed.) Apparently knew nothing about it,” says Alleman.
In addition, he repeated his previous statement that this could be involved in some of the “workers”, not leadership “Yuzhmash.”
“CB” South “is in big economic trouble. There, apparently, there are some dissatisfied workers, say the guards. But I’m not pointing any fingers. They could break in, get past security. It is likely that it was a theft” , – said the expert.
He stressed that the point of “I” must arrange investigation with the participation of international experts.
