Myanmar could acquire North Korea Scud technology
North Korea could be attempting to transfer technology need to build Scud missiles to Myanmar, according to two news reports.
A Telegraph article said a 37-page document obtained by Radio Free Asia detailed a visit by 17 Myanmar officials to North Korea last November.
The delegation was lead by General Thura Shwe Mann, the chief of staff of the army and Burma's third-ranked leader, and they visited a Scud missile factory.
Separately, the Financial Times reported that three arrested men – a North Korean citizen and two Japanese – have been arrested for attempting to ship to Myanmar a magnetometer, which could be used on ballistic missiles.
