◇Anchor> Europe approved the use of long-range missiles for the same reason. There's a move to approve it, and it's called Storm Shadow. What is this missile like?

◆ Cho Han-beom> This is scarier. Because air-to-ground missiles were jointly developed by France and Britain. That's it. That's Storm Shadow in British and Scarf in French.

◇Anchor> Is that shooting from a fighter?

◆ Cho Han-beom> That's 560km. But it's 220km for export. It's only 500 to 600 kilometers short of the Ukrainian border. When Ukrainian fighters enter Russian airspace, they can hit Moscow. What's scarier than ATACKS is the storm shadow and scarp. That's enough to hit the main target in Moscow.

◇Anchor> Russia responded right away, but it expanded the scope of its use of nuclear weapons. That's why I lowered the threshold. What exactly is it about?

◆ Cho Han-beom> Originally, the international community recognized nuclear weapons countries because they did not attack non-nuclear countries. And Ukraine was the world's third-largest nuclear power, but when it gave up, of course, it was not binding. But I promised I wouldn't attack anyway.

However, it is possible to attack countries supported by nuclear powers as to what has been done by revising the doctrine. Now that NATO and the United States are supporting Ukraine, it means that they will hit Ukraine. So it's a desperate situation for Putin.

Why? Although Putin is superior in the battlefield, it is Russia's military power that shrinks even if the country limits its range. So, since we're bringing in the North Korean military now, the West and the United States allowed us to attack long distances, not long distances, in order to catch up with Gyun Hung-chu. So, of course, there are not many missiles like Atax or such, but they are limited.

However, if it is used in earnest, the aspect of this war can change, and the storm troop dispatched does not have armoured equipment. So cluster bombs are very vulnerable. So if it's used by the North Korean military, there's a possibility of a devastating blow.

◇Anchor> You mentioned the possibility of World War III.

◆ Cho Han-beom> That's an exaggeration. Even in a difficult situation to fight against Ukraine. That's how sensitive it is.
