StumbleUpon My StumbleUpon Page


North Korea is secretly helping Burma to build an underground complex around it capital, along with other strategic locations. Believed to have begun in 2003, they are now ready for use, possibly including long range nuclear missiles.

North Korean technicians helped the Burmese Junta to construct underground facilities where they can also survive any threats from their own people or the outside world, in the event of Nuclear warfare with its neighbours or with its own people. It is not known exactly how many sites are linked to Burma’s reported efforts to develop nuclear technology from North Korea because of dangerous secrecy restrictions on communications with the outside world.

The export of nuclear know-how to Burma was first documented in June 2006, when intelligence agencies intercepted messages from Naypyitaw the new capital of Burma, confirming the arrival of a group of North Korean experts at the sites. North Korean tunnelling technology is of a very high quality, with bunkers and silos up to 50 meters below ground, offering facilities such as missile silos, nuclear laboratories, electricity, ventilation and running water. The missiles would put most of Burma's Asean neighbours along with India and Pakistan, within range of any possible nuclear Burmese strike.
