Pukguksong-5
The Pukguksong-5 () is a North Korean two-stage, solid-fueled submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). First unveiled in January 2021 during a military parade, Pukguksong-5 is an evolution of Pukguksong-3 with a longer range and a larger size. The missile may also be capable of carrying a heavier payload or multiple warheads. North Korea has claimed Pukguksong-5 as "''the world's most powerful weapon''". Description Pukguksong-5 is a two-stage, solid-fueled ballistic missile. It is significantly increased in size compared to the Pukguksong-4, with estimated length and diameter of and respectively. Compared with Pukguksong-3 and Pukguksong-4, Pukguksong-5 have a pointed, elongated nose cone. German expert Norbert Brügge claimed the Pukguksong-5 to be a silo-based missile. Pukguksong-5 is alleged to have greater range and heavier payload. The operational range of Pukguksong-5 is assumed to be from about to , allowing North Korea submarines to threaten Guam while opera ...

Pukguksong-3
The Pukguksong-3 () is a North Korean two-stage, submarine-launched ballistic missile, likely based on the same motor that powers the Pukguksong-2. The missile had its first successful flight test on 2 October 2019, although the first information dates back to 2017. Compared to older missiles, the Pukguksong-3 likely represents an incremental step forward in SLBM development, possibly towards an eventual, standardised missile. Design The Pukguksong-3 is a further development from the Pukguksong-2, sharing the same diameter. The first information about Pukguksong-3 was released on 22 August 2017, when images of filament wound casing were shown with a larger diameter of , along with the official name of the missile, on a display in the background of a photo. The image showed a Pukguksong-3 missile in a canister and revealed that it would be a two-stage, solid-fuel missile. Prior to this, there was a string of ejection tests at Sinpo, although it could not be confirmed that t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pukguksong-4
The Pukguksong-4 () is a North Korean two-stage, solid-fueled submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). Description Pukguksong-4 is a two-stage, solid-fueled ballistic missile. As a further development from Pukguksong-3, it is significantly increased in size compared to the predecessor, with an estimated length and diameter of about and about , respectively. Other sources claimed Pukguksong-4 to be shorter than Pukguksong-3. It is likely designed to be fitted with Sinpo-C class submarine, which was being built in 2020, capable of carrying 3-4 SLBMs. As portions of the Pukguksong-4's engine appear to be filament-wound, the missile has a heavier payload, a better range and is lighter compared to the previous missiles. The maximum range of Pukguksong-4 is estimated from with a payload to with a payload. It is alleged to be capable of carrying multiple warheads, but it remains to be unconfirmed. The missile is also claimed to be a silo-based missile and missing the seco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hwasong-11S
The Hwasong-11S () is a North Korean solid-fueled submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). Description Hwasong-11S is the underwater-launched variant of the Hwasong-11A (KN-23). The missile is claimed to have a ground-based version that was first tested on 16 April 2022, later identified as Hwasong-11D. Its reported range is about . The estimated length and diameter are between and respectively. Hwasong-11S is capable of carrying Hwasan-31 tactical nuclear warhead. German analyst Norbert Brügge claimed the missile to be a modified version of Pukguksong-1 with two stages, a longer body and a longer warhead. Hwasong-11S utilizes a solid-fueled engine and a single-stage design with four bumps around the tail section. Four grid fins, which folded before launch, are located between the four bumps. After its maiden launch, it was determined that the bumps and grid fins were a part of the gas generator. The new missile also features improved control, such as "flank" and "glid ...

Jane's Information Group
Janes is a global open-source intelligence company specialising in military, national security, aerospace and transport topics, whose name derives from British author Fred T. Jane. History Jane's Information Group was founded in 1898 by Fred T. Jane, who had begun sketching ships as an enthusiast naval artist while living in Portsmouth. This gradually developed into an encyclopedic knowledge, culminating in the publishing of Jane's Fighting Ships, ''All the World's Fighting Ships'' (1898). The company then gradually branched out into other areas of military expertise. The books and trade magazines published by the company are often considered the ''de facto'' public source of information on warfare and transportation systems. Based in Greater London for most of its existence, the group was owned by the Thomson Corporation, the Woodbridge Company, then IHS Markit, before being acquired by Montagu Private Equity in 2019. In March 2022, Janes acquired Washington, D.C.-based RWR Ad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hwasong-11A
The Hwasong-11A (), also known as KN-23 under the United States’s naming convention, is a North Korean single-stage, solid-fueled short-range ballistic missile. Design The Hwasong-11A bears an external resemblance to the Russian Iskander-M and South Korean Hyunmoo-2B short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs), being distinguished by its elongated cable raceway, different jet vane actuators and smooth base. Like the Iskander-M, it flies in a quasi-ballistic trajectory, flattening out below an altitude of about where the atmosphere is dense enough so the missile's fins can change course along its flight path. It is believed to have a range of about , putting all of South Korea within range. It is possible that the missile can have a better range with a reduced payload. The missile's warhead section has enough space for up to of high explosives compared to for Hwasong-5 (Scud-B) and of 9K720 Iskander. With a warhead, the missile has an estimated range of . The warhead can b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
