SLBM "Pukykson-1"




Land modification of these missiles - БРСД "Пуккыксон-2"

And it looks like a modification of the Hwaseon-6 (Scud) type missiles with a maneuvering warhead on a new crawler chassis like the previous missile systems


But this is some kind of new missile. Perhaps an increased version of "Hwaseong-10"?

The next launch of the North Korean BRSD "Hwaseon-12"

On Friday [September 15, 2017], in the morning, the DPRK conducted a new test launch of the Khwason-12 BRSD, which flew across the Japanese islands and fell in the designated Pacific region about 3,700 km from the launch site, reaching an altitude of 770 km during the flight. Thus, this is enough to spare Guam in case of war.

By the way, this time the launch was made directly from the self-propelled launcher, unlike previous tests, when the car put the launch pad with the rocket and drove off to a safe distance. It clearly says that now the rocket is considered already sufficiently developed and is not afraid of major incidents at launch.



Pyongyang, September 16. / CPA / - Chairman of the WPK, Chairman of the State Council of the DPRK, Supreme Commander of the KPA, the esteemed supreme leader, Comrade Kim Jong-no again directed the on-site training in the launch of the Hwaseon-12 ballistic missile of medium and long range.

Respected senior managers were met by senior officials of the TPK including Li Bong Chor, Kim Jong Sik, Kyaw Yong Won and Yu Jin, and KPA Strategic Forces commander General of the Strategic Army Kim Rak Kem, and industry workers in the research of state defense science, including Zhang Chang Ha, Jeong-ho-ho.

The scientists and technicians of the rocket research industry and part of the missile control of the strategic army KNA "Khwason-12" took part in the training.

This missile launch doctrine passed from the goals in order to cope with the militancy of the US, who make noise about the use of military forces against us, and increasingly strengthen the ability to carry out the operation of attack and counterattack for a retaliatory strike with high-speed and powerful military reactions. And carefully check the rule of conducting nuclear warheads and decide the order of the real battle.

At the unexpected order of the esteemed comrade of the senior leader, early in the morning the Hwaseong artillery trotted maneuvering and deployed in the launch pad and completed the launch preparation under a skilful organization and command, and waited for the launch of the ballistic missile.

The comrade-in-chief came to the launch site and got acquainted with the plan for launching the Hvason-12 strategic ballistic missile of the medium and long range and the state of the preparatory state, and gave the order to launch.

Immediately at that moment, "Hwaseong-12" with brilliant shines and majestic sounds of the explosion greatly shocked the entire planet and rose high on the blue sky.

The launched missile flew over the scheduled flight orbit through the airspace of the island of Hokkaido, Japan, and it definitely hit the indicated target-water area in the Pacific Ocean.

The esteemed senior leader appreciated that the current launching exercise, which is of great importance in the armament of the nuclear forces, has reached its goal, successfully passed, and expressed great satisfaction.

The respected senior leader praised the artillerymen of the Hwaseong unit, that they mastered the Khwason-12 missile by masterful actions to the fire service. With pride, he said that the combat effectiveness of the strategic ballistic missile of the medium and long-range "Hwaseon-12" was consistently tested, and the fighting ability of the members of the mission was absolutely impeccable, and the Hwaseon-12 missile was armed.

He said that in future all exercises should be such significant and practical exercises as this time for arming with nuclear forces, and in accordance with the location of the variety of nuclear warheads, it is necessary to strictly establish the rule of reference.

He also said that scientists, missile research techniques and artillerymen of the Hwaseong unit, with close ties, should develop the level of modernization, overcoming the ultramodern missile boundary and the level of control to a higher stage.

He said accompanying the responsible officers of the military department of the Party Central Committee and the branch for the study of the science of state defense: our ultimate goal is to achieve a real parity of forces with the US and to prevent idle talk from the lips of US rulers, including the indiscreet "military choice" and the like in relation to our state. And the ability to mount a military attack that allows for a nuclear counterattack, with which the United States can not cope, and continue to rush forward, should be continuously improved qualitatively.

As the whole world recognizes, we have achieved all of today's UN sanctions, which have lasted for several decades, and have by no means received them due to some kind of "mercy" of the UN. So, the soul is bored infinitely, when you think of eminent ones for the powers that are still carried away by the thought, that it is possible to subdue us by sanctions and the like - he said.

The esteemed senior leader said that it is necessary to clearly show the great-power chauvinists how our state, despite their inorganic sanctions and blockades, achieves the goal of perfecting the state nuclear armed forces, and since we have almost reached the final point, end.

The test of the North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile "Hwaseon-15"

On the night of November 28 to November 29, 2017, the DPRK successfully tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile named Hwaseon-15. The first demonstrated Hwaseon-15 missile was launched from the launch pad, transported on the first-shown self-propelled wheel conveyor with nine axles, thus being a mobile complex.

According to official data reported by the North Korean news agency CTC, and confirmed by American controls, the missile launched from the vicinity of Pyongyang on a special high-altitude trajectory to the designated point in the Sea of ​​Japan flew 950 km in range and reached an altitude of 4,475 km at the apogee of the trajectory. In terms of the "normal" flight trajectory of ICBMs, this gives estimates of range from 10,500 to 13,000 km. Thus, the Khwason-15 missile, when launched from the territory of the DPRK, is capable of attaining almost any point on the continental territory of the United States, including the East Coast.



The official report of the agency KTKK says:

Under the personal leadership of the Chairman of the Korean Workers' Party, the Chairman of the State Council of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK State Council), the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the KPA, the Supreme Leader of our Party, the State and the Army, Comrade Kim Jong-un, the intercontinental ballistic missile ( ICBM) Hwaseon-15.

The test was conducted under the personal leadership of Marshal Kim Jong-un.

The esteemed supreme leader set the task of the Academy of National Defense to create such a direction in the creation of ballistic missiles, which is capable of putting an end to the confrontation with the United States.

On November 28, the supreme leader, having received a report on the completion of the test launch of a new ICBM, arrived at midnight for the technical training of the missile and inspected a 9-axis mobile ground-based missile complex made by the working class.

The supreme leader, praising the impeccably made work, drew attention to the works of the working class of the plant, who participated in the development of the launch vehicle.

He expressed satisfaction that now we will be able to produce launchers as long as we want due to a 100 per cent conversion of all elements of the launcher on the basis of domestic production.

The esteemed supreme leader went to the launch pad and carefully supervised all the preparatory processes, including bringing the ICBMs to a vertical position.

Then, at the command observation post, the top manager specifically got acquainted with the plan for the trial launch of the Khwason-15 ICBM and ordered the launch.

"Hwaseong-15" with sparks rose high into space, revealing a huge fuselage.

The Hvasson-15 ICB reached an altitude of 4,475 km (apogee) and flew 950 km in 53 minutes from the launch point and hit the specified target in the water area of ​​the Korean East Sea.

Through this test run, it was confirmed that all the indicators of the weapons system accurately meet all design requirements, and that the system provides sufficient reliability in the combat situation in accordance with the purpose of the strategic weapons system.

In particular, it was confirmed: accuracy of hit on the target based on position control and speed correction in the middle section of the flight, the accuracy of the super-high-power engine with high thrust, equipped with thrust vector control, the accuracy of the design parameters of the corresponding guidance and stabilization system was also checked.

Such indicators as maneuverability and time of the active site, as well as the reliability of the 9-axis mobile ground-based rocket complex, were also checked.

Along with this, the already proven technologies of control and stabilization, separation and divorce of stages, and the stability of the shielding for re-entry into the atmosphere have been re-confirmed.

The Khwason-15 ICBM is entirely developed on the basis of our domestic industry in accordance with our reality. It is a weapon of the WPK, and thus our state now possesses another new type of ICBM capable of carrying a super-powerful nuclear warhead and delivering strikes throughout the United States.

The esteemed supreme leader rejoiced that the test was carried out successfully the first time and said that he sends thanks to all the soldiers who participated in the development of this complex.

He noted that today is a significant day, the day when the historic matter of improving the state nuclear forces of the missile power was realized, and that it is necessary to write this day in the history of the Motherland, giving birth to great forces, which raised the strategic status of the Republic even higher.

He also said that the brilliant successes that have been achieved recently in the field of defense science and in all other regions of the country is a great victory that can only be achieved by the heroic Korean people who faithfully support the great cause of the party, regardless of any adversity.

The esteemed senior leader warmly congratulated scientists and technicians, workers and workers in the field of defense sciences who successfully conducted the test launch of a new ICBM and thus again demonstrated the dignity and greatness of Juche Korea to the whole world and was photographed for memory together with them.

He was accompanied by Zhang Chang Ha, Jeong-hoo-ho, Kyaw Yong-won and Yu Jin.
