US Congress warns of North Korean missile power 2
`Recent advances in North Korea’s ballistic missile testing program appear to be aimed at developing the ability to defeat or reduce the effectiveness of regionally deployed defense shields such as the Patriot, Aegis and Self-Defense System.`
CRS, an agency specializing in conducting public policy research for the US Congress, believes that Pyongyang’s recent series of missile tests not only send simple political messages, but may be an effort to improve
North Korea’s ballistic missile test launched in November 2019.
`North Korea has also made progress on its submarine-launched ballistic missile project, seemingly to counter the land-based THAAD system by launching attacks from beyond its tracking range. However, the combat system
CRS focuses on three tactical missile systems with code names KN-23, KN-24 and KN-25 tested by North Korea during 2019-2020.
These missiles are all placed on mobile chassis, increasing the ability to hide before and after launch, limiting damage from enemy attacks.
`The KN-23 shows North Korea’s most significant advancement in tactical weapons. A projectile once demonstrated a high-pull action, changing its flight path to deceive anti-aircraft missiles. The KN-24 model possesses the ability
Meanwhile, the KN-25 is a `combination of a rocket and a rocket artillery` with an advanced electronic system, guided by satellite positioning and has an aerodynamic structure, similar to a bullet missile system.
North Korea resumed missile testing activities in May 2019, ending 18 months without weapons testing and showing Pyongyang’s impatience when negotiations with Washington fell into a deadlock.
The country tested 5 new types of weapons in 2019 including super-large rocket artillery, new generation guided rockets, short-range ballistic missiles similar to the Russian Iskander series, and tactical ballistic missiles similar to the army’s ATACMS model.
