North Korea unveiled a photo of the two short-range projectiles fired from Hamheung, South Hamgyong, the day before, claiming it was a "test fire of new weapons."

The military estimated the projectile to be similar to the Iskander-class KN-23 short-range ballistic missile, but North Korea's public picture showed it to be a new ballistic missile different from the KN-23.

◇ New Tactical Ground Missiles with Range of 400km 2 shots in a row

In North Korea's public picture, it was launched from a tracked mobile launch vehicle (TEL) with two launch tubes.

The missile, which blew off its flames, was rated as a tactical ground ballistic missile, shaped like an ATCMS (ATACMS).

It is the first time that this guided weapon, which can be viewed as a 'new North Korean tactical ballistic missile', was released.

North Korea launched a new short-range set of three short ranges, ranging from the North Korean version of the Iskander-class KN-23 and the Daegu light-controlled artillery, from May 4 to about three months.

While North Korea has denuclearized talks with the United States, it has also focused on developing conventional weapons, including the development of short-range ballistic missiles.

The missile peaked at about 48 km at its launch the day before and flew over 400 km.

The maximum speed was analyzed with Mach 6.1 or higher.

When North Korea announced that it had "completed another new weapons system," the maximum range is estimated to be around 500 km.

Shin Jong-woo, a senior analyst at the Korea Defense Security Forum (KODEF), called the North Korean tactical ground missile, saying, "It seems that the shots are dispersed in warheads when hitting the target."

The Jatan type is 'spread' in the North Korean sense.

It is also analyzed that it has a system that can fire continuously from two launch tubes.

The launch tube is similar to the Korean military's Hyunmu-2A (range 300km) and Hyunmu-2B (500km).

Currently deployed in our military, Atae Kims has 950 bullets, which can destroy 3-4 football fields.

If the North Korean missile's warhead is a self-contained missile, it is postponed that the killing radius could be equal to or greater than Athekims.

Experts say killing will double if two shots fall on the same target in a row.

Kim Dong-yeop, Professor of the Institute of Far Eastern Studies at Kyungnam University, said, "It's like a new short-range tactical ground ballistic missile that is different from the recently launched Iskander-class or the new Daegu light-controlled artillery." North Korea's punishment retaliation system, such as the highly efficient "scorpion tail."
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who oversaw the test missiles, said that the new weapons developed to meet the needs of our country's terrain and the Juche Law were weapon systems with superior tactical characteristics. The media spoke.

Kim seems to have expressed the feature that TEL's concealment and covert maneuverability is advantageous because North Korea is a large mountainous region.

Indeed, North Korea has developed missile TELs in orbit and wheel form, allowing them to maneuver freely on roads, fields and rivers.

The military is developing tactical ground guided missiles (missiles, KTSSMs) similar to the North Korean tactical ground missiles under the auspices of the Defense Science Research Institute (ADD).

Tactical ground guided missile project is the core power of 'Kill Chain' that strikes North Korea's long-run guns and missile bases through GPS (Artificial Satellite Positioning Information) guidance technology.

It is also called 'Jangsajeong Gun Killer' because it is planned to be developed through underground, so it can remove Jangsa Cannon hidden in the tunnel.

Initially, the tactical ground guided missiles were powered up from this year, but due to the late test evaluation results, the deployment time was delayed somewhat.

◇ New three-piece set to replace Scud missiles

Three weapons systems, including the North Korean version of the Iskander-class KN-23 short-range ballistic missile launched from early May and a new large-caliber light-controlled artillery that released photographs and the new tactical ground ballistic missile, will be short-ranged in the future. It will replace ballistic missiles.

Scud-B / C series missiles are less militaryly useful during times of advanced missile defense (MD) technology, such as the need for fuel injection time using liquid fuel.

All three new weapons in North Korea have something in common using solid fuel.

Solid fuels do not require a separate fuel recharge time for quick launch.

The missile defense system makes it harder to intercept.

The KN-23 projectile, launched on the 6th, was estimated at 37 km altitude, 450 km flight distance, and Mach 6.9 or higher.

All three weapons were developed to fly over 200 to 600 kilometers at low altitudes.
Professor Kim said, "The three weapons have a slightly longer range and a lower altitude and a faster speed. All of them use mobile launch vehicles for solid fuels. The detection of ROK-US information assets is due to the shortening of launch time and diversification of launch origin. It makes the kill chain difficult, "he said." It can be said to be a three-piece set corresponding to our three-axis system. "

North Korea's test-fire shot showed that the missile fuselage was developed for testing by painting black and white, like the Polar Star-1 type.

The test was fired from Hamheung the day before, and it is also likely that the West Coast will be able to penetrate the inland and reach its maximum range capability to the East Sea.
