Looking closely at the new weapons that North Korea unveiled at the labor party's 75th anniversary ceremony, the new ICBM seems to be a kind of prototype, and the possibility of showing off is high, and the SLBM written'North Pole-4 Siot' is likely to be a real test launch. It was analyzed that it was large.

This is North Korea's new intercontinental ballistic missile that was unveiled at this parade.



The existing Mars 15 model was a launch vehicle with nine wheel axles, but two more wheel axles.



It was also called the so-called monster ICBM because of its size and weight.



Prof. Young-geun Jang of Korea Aviation University estimated the length and weight of the missile by analyzing the North Korean fever-style relay video.



It is about 23m long, about 2.3m in diameter, 2m longer than the Hwaseong-15 type, and 30cm in diameter.



The two-stage engine was a new model, and when fired with liquid fuel, the weight was estimated to be 100 tons, nearly twice that of the Hwaseong-15.



[Jang Young-geun/Professor of the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Korea Aerospace University: The fact that the diameter is thick and the length is large is for the purpose of multiple warheads.]



However, Professor Jang is an essential element of the multiple warhead ICBM. In other words, it was questionable whether the multiple individual warheads in the fairing had the propellant capabilities.



[Jang Young-geun/Professor of the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Korea Aerospace University: It is also used for display purposes, and they are actually developed by themselves, but since they cannot develop a flight model immediately, they developed it as a ground prototype.] It



is also grounded that North Korea did not use the name Hwaseong-16

.

I heard it.



On the other hand, the SLBM, which was also first released, namely, the submarine-launched ballistic missile North Star-4 Siot, was evaluated for practical use.



The diameter is the same as the existing Polar Star-3, but the key is that the length is shortened by 1m.



[Jang Young-geun/Professor of the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Korea Aerospace University: This is the part that came out above the fire on a submarine like this.

If you put it there, you can mount it a little longer, but if you do it on a general fuselage, it is lower than that.

Then, the length of the (missile) should be shortened.] If



North Korea, which is developing a large submarine with a class of 3 to 4,000 tons, has missiles mounted on its fuselage, more missiles can be operated stably.
