North Korea at the Defence Development-2025 exhibition in Pyongyang presented a successor to its own series of KN-23 tactical ballistic missile systems. The new Hwasong-11Ma short-range tactical ballistic missile system has a hypersonic glide body.
The complex uses a launcher from the KN-23. The lower part of the rocket has not undergone visible changes, and the upper part with a hypersonic gliding warhead, apparently, is intended for separation in the upper part of the trajectory.
The KN-23 was introduced in February 2018, and it is very similar to the Russian Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system (OTRK). Both systems use solid-propellant engines, launch missiles along a quasi-ballistic trajectory, and are highly mobile.
The exact characteristics of the Hwasong-11Ma have not yet been disclosed, so it will not be possible to objectively compare them with the Iskander-M.
Earlierwww1.ru reported thatRussian swarm of drones will be controlled from a group of satellites.
