   AS Above.   
      
   I know my question is strnge (as most of my question actually).. but I am   
   pondering this issue with respect to North Korea's threat. Jow many long range   
   missiles can they possibly field and how many of them can they keep on   
   constant patrol?   
      
   Back in two previous decades Russia deployed up to 360 SS-25 Icbm's  in ca 10   
   deployment zones each having 100 000 square kilometers.    
      
   So they had ca 36 missiles per 100 000 kilometers, of these however no more   
   than 2 were on constant patrol. I read somewhere that 4 is a possible option.   
      
      
   Now North Korea has 120 000 square kilometers of total area, but is much more   
   populated than Russia. The most bold estimates give them up to 30 mobile   
   ICBM's and up to 30 IRBM's in 2020's. Could they too deploy 4-5 missiles on   
   continous patrol? Or could    
   the deploy more? Or, if their strategy is just "disperse on warning" what's   
   the fuss about them having second strike capability?
