North Korea launches new multiple rocket launchers

North Korea has begun to deploy the latest long-range MRLS. It is reported by the Korea Times. The newly developed Juche 100 systems are an upgraded version of the M-240 1991-mm MLRS, equipped with twenty-two guides for rockets. According to the Korea Times source, the Juche 100 firing range is about 120 km.

Any other details about the latest North Korean system are unknown. The name "Juche 100" multiple rocket launchers received in honor of the centenary of the Juche ideology. According to unverified information, 300 mm caliber rockets, acquired by North Korea a few years ago from the Russian Federation, were used in the newest complexes. Missile tests were carried out for several years on the west coast of the DPRK.

The new system is expected to be demonstrated to the public at the military parade of 15 on April this year, dedicated to the centenary of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Kim Il Sung.

There is no exact information about the DPRK’s armaments. Experts believe that 4 of the type of multiple launch rocket systems (with the exception of the newest Juche 100) are in service with North Korea: M-1985 x 21); M-6 (this is an earlier version of M-6); BM-1977 (a version of the mentioned “Grad” with thirty guides based on the same “Isuzu”); finally, M-1985 (the so-called "Juche-Po"). The most long-range of these installations - M-11: it is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to sixty kilometers.

      I completely agree ... SK still understands that they will not be able to do without ground operations if something happens .... Then strikes on the areas will turn out to be the most effective ..

      Tornadoes are too expensive and have colossal firepower (3rd most destructive weapon after nuclear and vacuum "king of the bomb") where tornadoes in such a small theater of operations, a volley of 50 vehicles from Korea will leave a funnel there))

        Learn the math. The volley of 1 car hits 672000 m, which is 0.67 km, and the area of ​​South Korea is 99 km .. A lot more than 392 cars are needed))

    No comments so far:
    On January 31, 2012, the new leader of the DPRK, Comrade Kim Jong-un, visited the location of military unit 1017 (presumably the 57th fighter aviation regiment in Oncheon) of the Korean People’s Air Force equipped with MiG-29 TsTAK fighters

    The South Korean medium-range air defense system KM-SAM Chun Koong, created for the Korean side by OJSC "Concern Air Defense" Almaz-Antey "is a variant of the promising Russian air defense system" Vityaz ". 9N96, designed by KB "Fakel".
    The range of destruction of the KM-SAM SAM is 40 km, height - 50 thousand feet.
    And interestingly, South Koreans will "share" technology and "stuffing" for study with their amer friends ???
    So draw your own conclusions!

    not so long ago I sat at the American Forum, there they discussed the news that we adopted the Yars, and many wrote in the comments "there is nothing to eat in Russia, people are dying of hunger, and they are building weapons")))

    North Korea goes too far of course. this is a disease. but treating him is not stupid. they themselves need to be treated.
    The closest. their trusted China. only China can gently begin to drive them somewhere. What others will say. will be immediately accepted with hostility. The idiots of this do not understand. they are so cool. snickering. (and Koreans are all small. thin)
