One you would roll a rocket out at sohae, it was sitting on the pad for days while they were fueling it up. you could see the workers testing things, getting ready for the launch. a pretty inefficient, slow process compared with the solid state fuel rockets that they have since developed. the chi they roll out on mobile launchers, that weve seen north korea test repeatedly in recent years. so if youre talking about cars, the missiles at sohae are like the old chevy that north korea is now taking...

Understand this has not been utilized since 2012. if thats in fact the case, then i think that we should be focusing more on what they utilized in the tests they were doing in 2015 and 2016 and 2017. one is an old type of equipment. the other is new. if theyre just dismantling something that they had utilized or not in 2012, then we dont have anything here. i think thats what needs to be investigated. >> its a fair point as will ripley reported last hour. this is where liquid fuelled rockets wer...

Hit us. time is not on our side. they are marching towards that capability according to our intelligence community in the next year. or two. and the other point i want to make is that they will continue to march even past once they have that capability. theyll go to mobile launchers. harder for us to hit them. theyll go to solid fuel, which means they can launch it faster without having to refuel on the rocket pad. theyll go to submarines and multiple missiles at once. we have to decide as a pol...

Conduct, money laundering and supplying technology for north koreas most advanced missiles in all probability. north koreas most advanced missiles and more advanced than what they fired off in july look like the jl submarine one. how come the north koreans have chinese-looking missiles. we need to have those answers before we start talking about war. >> one of the questions is how much of the technology that they claim to have used yesterday is homegrown? how much of it is indigenous versus that...

Pacific region principally because north korea now has solid fuel rockets, theyre mobile. in the past weve been able to see days in advance that the north koreans were going to conduct a test of an icbm, but with solid fuel rockets and mobile capability, the time line for determining that there is liable to be an attack, that theres going to be a launch is much, much shorter giving us almost no time to react. flight time from north korea to guam, for example, is about 30 minutes. theres always t...

Not if you look at this picture with kim jong-un and a new missile that could be powered by solid fuel, which means it can go further and do more damage to a lot more folks. retired general jerry lincoln. what are we to make of that and what theyre up to? >> well, i think that this is -- this is a very critical time. its a huge mistake for america to think the crisis is over. kim is buying time and i think the fact that hes demonstrating now that he has the technology that we have basically were...

Of kim looking at a design of what experts say is a previously unseen type of missile. a poster of it on the wall say its the pukason g3. >> what they unveiled is a three stage missile presumably solid propelled and its capable of reaching the entire united states or presumably so. we just dont know how large it is at this point. >> reporter: experts say the north koreans could be several years away from deploying this missile, but when he does have that capability, kim will be even more dangero...

Fact that i believe he is starting to respect us. i respect that fact. >> meantime, north korean media report kim jong-un ordered increased production of solid fuel rockets and warhead tips. >> back to the panel. that report came out before donald trump talked about kim jong-uns respect to him. but do you believe the bellicose language we heard from donald trump on north korea has it worked in this instance? >> i say it hasnt worked. north korea is getting the rocket engines and it goes back to ...
