DPR Korea Space and Missiles

Koreans tested something twice recently, I hope it was a solid motor and we could see a proper solid fueled ICBM in the coming months.

Chief of KPA General Staff Issues Statement

Pyongyang, December 14 (KCNA) -- Pak Jong Chon, chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA), released the following statement on Saturday:

I am very glad that the Academy of Defence Science has recently registered great successes in bolstering up the defence capabilities while successfully conducting tests of great significance one after another.

The priceless data, experience and new technologies gained in the recent tests of defense science research will be fully applied to the development of another strategic weapon of the DPRK for definitely and reliably restraining and overpowering the nuclear threat of the U.S.

Genuine peace can be safeguarded and our development and future be guaranteed only when the balance of power is completely ensured.

We have stored up tremendous power.

We should be ready to cope with political and military provocations of the hostile forces and be familiar with both dialogue and confrontation.

Our army is fully ready to thoroughly carry out any decision of the Supreme Leader with action.

It is free to evaluate the entity of our power, but it will be necessary to see it clearly before judgment.

In the situation of the acute confrontation, the U.S. and other hostile forces will spend the year-end in peace only when they hold off any words and deeds rattling us. -0-

Would love to see those canistered solid fueled ICBMs. Slightly bored seeing only the Russian Topol-M TELs. Chinese ICBM TELs doesn't look cool enough, where as those displayed by DPR Korea during parade was much better.

And there's jackasses who think Best Korea is a walk in the park, all I know is their 'domestic' MIC is more advanced than the GCC states. If the US fought them, yes NK would be destroyed but the US side would also be devastated and their longer range nukes could probably hit California (Los Angles, San Francisco, San Diego, etc.) with little to no difficulty

Nork ICBMs can reach most of continental USA, this new one should be able to cover the whole thing no probs

That has to be the most road wheels ever put on a truck

Also, nice Iskander knockoff they have...

Does NK now have a Tor system?

On March 25, 2021, the DPRK launched two upgraded versions of the North Korean solid-fuel tactical ballistic missile KN-23, which is the North Korean analogue of the Russian Iskander tactical missile system. This variant was first demonstrated during the military parade in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea, held in Pyongyang in January, and has not previously been tested.
According to the Atomic Juche telegram channel , the tested new missile has a working range of 600 km and a payload of 2.5 tons.

First test of North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile Hwasong 17

On March 10, 2022, the US Department of Defense announced that the missile launches conducted by the DPRK on February 26 and March 4, 2022 were the first flight tests of a new North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile, first demonstrated at the famous Pyongyang military parade in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea on October 10, 2020 . According to US media reports, we are talking about an intercontinental ballistic missile Hwasong 17 ("Hwaseong-17") on a mobile conveyor on an 11-axle wheeled chassis.

According to the US Department of Defense, both tests were not carried out at full range (the March 4 launch had a range of about 1,000 km), but full-range tests of this missile system are expected in the future - possibly disguised as space launches.

First demonstrated at the parade on October 10, 2020, still in a mock-up version, the Hwasong 17 missile (originally designated by commentators as Hwasong 16, the actual name was announced at the Self-Defense 2021 defense exhibition in Pyongyang in October 2021) has two stages with liquid rocket engines. The length of the missile is 26 m, the diameter is 2.7-2.9 m. Estimates of the maximum range of this missile reach 13,000 km. The launch is believed not to be from the wheeled conveyor (which is the installer transporter), but from the launch pad.
