What I'm really concerned about is if they do have a missile with decent range that can get to considerable altitude, and detonate a nuclear bomb in the upper atmosphere, you then have an EMP.
All electronics down, and in 1 sec the US will be back in the Stone Age. I have always been more afraid of that then full nuclear war.
I better dust off the old Ruger 22 LR and start practicing on getting me some squirrel.
x2 What Jungle said re. EMP.
As far as any missile-delivered nuke...I'm reasonably confident that they don't have a device that is sufficiently miniaturized (and flight-capable) to bolt onto one of their operational missiles.
Can they shoot missiles at significant targets (Seoul, Tokyo)? Yes. Very low reliability, very large CEP, very low Pk. And that's without any US BMD interference. But even if it hit, it wouldn't have a nuke onboard. Yet.
