The Second Korean War: The First Hours

143
"If war is inevitable, then let it be now, and not in a few years, when Japanese militarism will be restored as an ally of the United States and when the United States and Japan will have a ready-made foothold on the continent in the form of a Lisenian Korea." (Stalin - Mao Zedong. October 2 1950).





All past week Donald Trump unobtrusively hinted that diplomacy is powerless to deprive the DPRK of nuclear weapons. The probability of a military outcome, therefore, becomes prohibitively high.

Immediately I would like to dismiss the assurances of those "analysts" who took the excessive courage to assert that an attack on a nuclear power is impossible in principle. This rule did not work very well in the last century. Examples of this: Folklands, Damansky, Kashmir 1999 of the year.

But now the world has changed. And changed radically. If someone does not realize this fact, continuing to babble from the high tribunes about “friends” and “partners,” then so much the worse for him. Not to mention the fact that all this “partnership” previously existed solely in the imagination of some Russian government officials.

Another eminent "analysts" can recall the wonderful predictions of past years in the spirit of "Saddam will show them" and "Gaddafi will ask them." Where are your Saddam and Gaddafi now?

Nuclear weapons are not a universal remedy for all ills. Completely destroy the South and especially Japan, Pyongyang absolutely definitely can not. With his meager amount of charges, Kim Jong-un would not have been able to wipe out even a power the size of Israel, which is much smaller than the countries mentioned above. But after the use of nuclear weapons, the North Korean regime may include a countdown, because a retaliatory nuclear strike by the US will turn it into dust.

However, nuclear weapons are only a private episode in a possible war in the Far East. Based on our knowledge of the geography of the region, as well as the military strategy of the parties, we can roughly assume the scenario.

First minutes

The initial wave will be the strike of the strategic bomber B-1 Lancer (from Guam) with the help of the CG AGM-158 JASSM, whose mission is to hit highly protected targets. I also do not exclude the use of B-2 Spirit bombers, which will fly from the mainland USA. The total number of CDs will depend only on the number of combat vehicles.

Simultaneously or with a lag in 10-15 min. Tomahawk cruise missiles, launched by the escort ships of the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan, will arrive at the targets. One destroyer "Arly Burke" can carry up to 60 KR "Tomahawk", and the cruiser "Ticonderoga" - twice as much. Support fireworks will be able to modernized nuclear submarines "Ohio", which is dragging 154 powerful "gifts to Kim" - just one of these submarine cruisers USS Michigan at full steam goes to Korea. In total, the US Navy is capable of taking a volley of 350-550 units of Tomahawks alone. forces only deployed now in the Sea of ​​Japan ships.

At the same time, South Korea strikes. Unlike China, Japan, and Russia, official Seoul can’t get away from the war, so Moon Jae In’’s government will probably go straight with a trump card. By such an ace we mean BR Hyunmoo with a range of up to 800 km, based on wheeled platforms. Also aviation Over the past six months, South Korea has repeatedly demonstrated its CDs and air bombs to destroy fortified targets.



Obviously, in this situation, North Korea will receive a devastating blow to the military and partly civilian infrastructure immediately behind or at the same time as the first wave.

Nuclear retribution

In the first hours, faced with a full-scale invasion, Kim the Third will stand in front of the fork.

First, he has a chance to contact the United States through diplomatic channels and urgently try to negotiate the conditions for preserving the regime in response to the abandonment of the nuclear program. And Washington can take them, by the way.

This option can actually suit everyone. Kim Jong-un remains in power, although he will lose nuclear toys.

Americans will be able to declare their victory and they will be right. Indeed, from the very beginning it was not the change of the regime in the DPRK that was declared, but the destruction of the North Korean nuclear program. Along the way, the States will rid themselves of the need to wage a grueling war in the mountainous and wooded area of ​​the Korean Peninsula.

Beijing and Moscow will also benefit. And it's not just that they will avoid radiation clouds on their borders. China will get North Korea in a much more docile and puppet form after defeat. Russia will consider the possibility of raising the question of the inadmissibility of building up missile defense systems in Asia - there is no threat anymore.

However, such a prosperous scenario can only dream of. Most likely, the political and military leadership in Pyongyang will decide to fight without fools, including the use of nuclear weapons.

However, the use of nuclear weapons is possible only if several conditions are met.

The first. The North Koreans really developed a compact nuclear device that can fit in a ballistic missile warhead. This task itself is not trivial, frankly. And it requires very serious technology.

The second. All ballistic missiles will not be destroyed in bunkers during the first wave of coalition attacks. This, of course, is unlikely, but the destruction of most of them does not look so fantastic.

Third. All soaring media will be OK. Marriage and lack of quality in the aerospace industry, until recently, remained the scourge of North Korean industry.

Fourth. Started single media will not be destroyed by missile defense systems. And in South Korea and Japan, it is a two-layer. THAAD is responsible for the first (long-range interception) in the South and Aegis + Standard Missile 3 SM-3 Block IB in Japan. The second interception layer is provided by the Patriot PAC-3 in both countries.

And the most important thing. The use of nuclear weapons against South Korea, Japan or any of the territories of the United States practically unleashes the Pentagon to use nuclear weapons on the widest scale, which means not only the death of the North Korean state, but also the total extermination of the population. I do not think that this is not understood in Pyongyang. Even Hitler on the craziest days did not dare to use chemical projectiles on either the Western or the Eastern Front for the banal reason: the Allies would have found much more such weapons.

And if so ...[/B]

Of course, only those who are defective in mind can rejoice in the potentially possible death of hundreds of thousands of South Koreans and Japanese if Kim performs his worst threat regarding the use of nuclear weapons. However, there are quite objective reasons for concern. Such a tragedy, without any doubt, will return South Korea to the state of rapidly arming military dictatorship of the times of Chon Doo Hwan, not to mention Japan, which will reject all democracy and pacifism and follow the example of the South Koreans. In such an atmosphere, the creation of nuclear weapons by Seoul and Tokyo will become only a matter of time - and not for long.

For a weakening Russia, such an outcome can have the most unpleasant consequences.

If we talk about the purely military use of nuclear weapons by Pyongyang, then there are much more prospects. First of all, it is about the devastation of the largest military bases of the South, and especially the port facilities. And the most priority goal here will be the famous Busan.

The fact is that the ports are simultaneously naval bases and terminals for the arrival of reinforcements from among the American troops. The fleet in the second Korean war will play the same key role that it played in the first. Obviously, instead of cracking the fortifications behind the demilitarized zone, the allies will most likely decide to land on the much less fortified coast of the North. It is no coincidence that the South actively developed precisely this component of its fleet.

[b] Answer northerners


If nuclear weapons are left out, then the most likely answer of the northerners to the first wave of attack will be the artillery terror of Seoul. They wrote a lot about it, savoring the tens of thousands of dead citizens, but everything is not so simple. For in the very first minutes after the artillery of the northerners, the hunt will begin from the air forces of South Korea and the USA. Under the conditions of their complete supremacy in the air, the destruction of the artillery of the North will become a matter of extremely short time. Well, the counter-battery struggle, as without it.



USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier near Iwo Jima

Simultaneously with the airfields of the South and the deck of the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan, the second stage of the air raid will begin. The targets will be airfields and naval bases of the North, as well as command posts and air defense units that survived the first wave.

There is no chance for North Korean aviation. Only submarines that are already at sea will survive from the fleet. The rest, as well as the entire surface fleet, are just targets. Ducks in the dash.

In the very first hours, Pyongyang's submarines (outdated, but numerous) will try to break through the country's sea blockade. The chances of this are small, but there is precisely because of the large number of underwater hunters.

The final

In general, this section “first hours” can be considered complete. Next, start the "first days". Obviously, the coalition will have a decisive advantage from the very beginning. And only the question of the damage that the Americans will be able to inflict on the strategic nuclear forces and military control systems of the DPRK remains open.

If the States are able to hit key command posts and underground headquarters, then the paralysis of the decision to retaliate can be very much delayed. The destruction of Kim Jong-un himself risks losing control into chaos.

Geography in this regard plays both for and against the North Koreans. On the one hand, mountainous and wooded terrain prevents the army of potential adversaries from detecting and eliminating all strategic military installations. On the other hand, the area of ​​the DPRK does not exceed the area of ​​some regions of the Russian Federation. That is, it is easier to cover a small area with an intelligence resource: satellites, drones etc. Although the number of underground military facilities of the DPRK is in the thousands, it is not possible to reliably hide them from modern means of detection.

And, of course, the decisive role will be played by how early the government in Pyongyang learns about the date and time of the United States attack on Korean objects. Here only the PRC, which has the appropriate resources, can help. If it becomes known about the inevitable strike at least three hours later, the chances for the DPRK armed forces will increase significantly.

And China, by the way, may be one of the first. With what joy they save Kim. Not such a big problem for them, in order to save him, to risk the well-being of his country, risking a conflict with the United States. No, Kim will be alone if it comes to war. He will be able to spoil others, but not to win. The numbers are stubborn. The defeat is calculated purely arithmetically. However, I hope that they will agree without a war. There is still time. So far, much preparation is not visible, but there is a trend. The coalition is being formed, public opinion is being prepared, and so far small forces are gathering together. This is a signal to Kim that everything is serious, not just words.

                  Of course I think, but what surprises you in what a person thinks before saying? I do not pretend to be the “master of numbers,” but I have little faith that 26 million people of the DPRK are capable of defeating the coalition of the United States, Japan, and South Korea. This is not counting the rest who will join. And I do not believe in the participation of Russia on the side of the DPRK, in principle, it will be enchanting stupidity. China's participation is extremely doubtful. China will not receive any advantages from preserving Kim, but the costs and losses will be fantastic. Therefore, in my words there is nothing but logic. But of course this is only my calculation. Everything can be different, people do not always act logically.

And no one will turn off nuclear power plants at the beginning of the war - the country will immediately lose electricity production. And South Korea is not S.

    The author is right. "Atomic" Kim does not shine, from the word "absolutely." Americans and South Koreans don’t even have to send their troops into the territory of the DPRK — North Koreans, they just need to “bomb into the Stone Age” —constant air strikes, missiles and drones will destroy the entire infrastructure and not allow farming in the DPRK level and that’s all, in a couple of three years the “brave” North Korean patriots will simply starve to death in their catacombs, and the remaining little fanatics will despairingly go to the “last and decisive” South Korean and American machine guns, as they already did the Japanese are in WWII. Not, of course, there will be some howl in the democratic media of the “pan-Europeans” and Russia with China over excessive cruelty and unauthorized use of force against the civilian population, but this will be mildly expressed - Americans will quickly shut up their mouths or simply will not pay attention to anything, like they always do it ...

Or destroy the dam hydroelectric power station, or at what other critical point to cause maximum damage?

To which the frenzied guide asked why there weren’t a single military and civilian object for hundreds of miles! That was said, and here the tectonic fault and one warhead and all of California will slide into the ocean ... And yet, while no missile defense was shot down .. so even one missile in 200 kilotons does not have Los Angeles .. or what other cities with tens of millions, and if there are 5-6 such missiles?

          Whether Kim has nuclear warheads and whether they reach the United States is a 50 to 50 probability, but that’s already a lot. Speaking of accuracy, if Russia and China can help Kim with target designation for both ballistic missiles and air defense missiles. and such help would be more effective than sending soldiers like in the first Korean war.

    For in the first minutes of the northerners' artillery hunting will begin from the air of South Korea and the United States. In the conditions of their complete domination in the air, the extermination of artillery of the North will become a matter of extremely short time. Well, the counter-battery fight, how could without it.
    I would like to remind the author that the Koreans workaholans are significantly different from the fanfares from the Middle East. For starters, the hunt for artillery can very ambiguously end for aviators. The terrain is complex, besides it’s also wooded, so it’s very problematic to visually detect anything, it remains to eat up on equipment (exceptional and advanced). This is where the fun begins. The Koreans will drive various auto junk and other nonsense onto the slopes, besides there is such an interesting thing radar corner reflectors, thermal imitators and other means. Thousands of them can rivet them. But that is not all. The area will suddenly be saturated with MANPADS. Where from? The correct answer is from the "camel". The caravan came from the Middle East. From the looted warehouses of the Syrian and Iraqi armies. laughing
    As for China, it will not have much choice. They do not need so much Fakusim nearby. And in case of infection of their territory, the assembly production at them is quickly curtailed. What this will turn out is not difficult to guess. As for our country, we will have to close the very north of North Korea. The "axes" that fly to Korea with a 90% probability will be from a nuclear warhead. In the case of a successful "clumsy coven" we will get an infection of our own territory, followed by a surge in oncological diseases and the extinction of a population with which it is not important with us anyway. So there is no choice either. We’ll have to bring this crap on the way up.
    The bold point that the author puts in the existence of North Korea can easily turn into a comma.

            Maybe, maybe only now, I deeply doubt that the North Korean leadership does not calculate all the points. They know their weaknesses and strengths. They understand that they will lose the war in the air. So they will balance due to something else. I don’t think they will shy away from Guam. But on the bases of Americans in South Korea and Japan do not FIG. And someone calculated that they could shy away from nuclear weapons on aircraft carrier groups or on American planes during raids.

            There is such a wonderful documentary, Lost Day. If you didn’t look, be sure to look. At the Ministry of Defense, everything was already worked out for this case. MO was waiting for a team from the Kremlin, and there began a squabble between the pro-Western and the national lobby. GDP was just in Beijing at the opening of the Olympics. What he said through a closed communication channel will remain a mystery. But after that, “iPhone and K” tightened their tails and ears and the power phase began. With a delay which cost many lives.
            With the Su-24 there is no less interesting story. As a result, it turned out that a traitor was sitting at the helm of the F-16. And data on the upcoming state.

In reality, in order to complicate the task of the Coalition as much as possible, because we are not a party to the conflict, and cannot openly get involved.

    Yes, pretty competent. But Un’s supporters will not agree with her.
    Although there are inaccuracies in the actual side. The Ticonderoga cruiser, although it has 122 cells, can never carry 120 cruise missiles. This means that it actually must remain unarmed, without anti-aircraft, anti-ship and anti-submarine missiles .. Typical load is 26 Tomahawks, but even if you reduce the arsenal of anti-aircraft missiles by half and leave only 40, the number of cruise missiles will be under 70, but nothing not 120, like the author.

    1. Nuclear plants in South Korea are not counted.
    Even YaBCH is not necessary that they would arrange an armageddad.
    2. Ground Army.
    Of course, they won’t reach Yankistan on foot, but they will "march" to the south.
    3. China and Russia.
    They will not sit idly by (when attacking the north). China for sure.


    1. In fact, the stations in South Korea are concentrated in four places. And they are located about 200-400 km from the demilitarized zone.
    Reactors for nuclear power plants, EMNIP, are built on the assumption that the reactor must withstand the fall of an airplane (and by no means light-weight) on it. And at such a distance (200-400 km) conventional North Korean missiles, without nuclear charges, may simply not reach the reactors, and even if they do, this does not mean at all that they have TNT equivalent. as you say, enough for an Armageddian.

    2. Is the North Korean army marching in the south? Are you sure. The point is not only in the number of soldiers, but also in equipping the army. Yes, the land forces of the DPRK are 2 times greater than that of the south, but the equipment of the southerners is an order of magnitude better than that of the northerners. In addition, the DPRK Air Force can not be considered. She compared with the South Korean Air Force no. So it’s not a fact that it’s marching.

    3. China and Russia. Both countries have already expressed their attitude towards the North Korean nuclear missile program by voting in the UN Security Council.
    The EMNIP of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has already stated that if the North Koreans are the first to start, they should not wait for help. If the Americans - then another thing. Russia no longer has a mutual assistance agreement ...

    Quote: Normal ok
    1) NPP power units are designed taking into account the possible fall of an airplane on them. So that they will survive the North Korean artillery. Before the start of the war, the power units of South Korea will be stopped, away from sin.

    The DPRK artillery is not at all involved here. The southerners' nuclear power plant closest to North Korea is 180 km away (Ulchin and Sin-Ulchin NPPs). The rest are at a distance of 300, 350 km or more.

    Quote: Normal ok
    2) The land army, of course, can try to break through the border fortifications but built their Pts. thoroughly. And without the support of artillery, something is unlikely to succeed. Yes, and management will be disrupted.

    Border protection areas northerners may pass but with huge losses for themselves

    Again you are about a diplomatic flight with a bomb. Have you at least specified whether there are diplomatic relations between the DPRK and the United States or whether they conduct their affairs through a third country that represents the interests of the DPRK
    Well, I understand, too lazy to look, it’s better to write a break about a diplomatic flight. Although, if you would like, you have learned that THERE ARE NO BETWEEN DPRK and the USA diplomatic relations. So you can throw your diprese with the bomb into the trash

They are unlike simpler and more inconspicuous than the MBR, and go guess what boat they are standing on. One hit and the whole AUG striped at the bottom of the South China Sea. And they are far more dangerous than all ICBMs taken together. Next, the rattling of weapons will not work. Russia's weakness is left out of the brackets , with this phrase the expert betrayed himself with giblets.

    You forget that the PRC 2017 and the PRC 1950 are two different countries. And the PRC has already declared in the person of its foreign minister that China will come to the rescue only if the Americans are the first to attack. If the North Koreans are the first, then they can forget about help (except perhaps diplomatic)

    Well, you don’t have to consider the Americans as complete idiots. DPRK nuclear torpedo ???? Do they have it ?? In general, the presence of YaBZ on some missiles with a shell diameter of 80-90 cm is questionable. But sticking YaBZ into a caliber of 533 mm is fantastic. And what, the Americans do not know who can have nuclear torpedoes? Or do you also consider ours to be e.

    Whether Kim has nuclear warheads and whether they reach the United States is a 50 to 50 probability, but that’s already a lot. Speaking of accuracy, if Russia and China can help Kim with target designation for both ballistic missiles and air defense missiles. and such help would be more effective than sending soldiers like in the first Korean war. Know, keep A-50 heels in the air near the borders, and give out the coordinates. And let the Yankees try to prove that in this way you will pass.

    Let's take a break from Eun-Myn-Trump-Pampa and everyone else. Let's analyze what you wrote (sorry, stupidity)
    1, Russia and China will help North Korea with target designations for ballistic missiles. True, I can’t even imagine how this can be done online, but what will it do if the missile guidance system itself gives an error of the order of 0,1% of the range? You give accurate target designations for the same Guam, and the missile will miss 3,5-4 km. Yes, even at 2. What can a 50kt warhead be able to do? I’m not even talking about ICBMs. Aim at an American military base in Hawaii or the Pacific coast and miss 5-7-10 km. Even with a 200 ct warhead?

    2. Target designation for air defense. I wonder how you imagine it? Of course, you can keep at the border not only the heels of the A-50, but in general the entire stock, all of our A-50s. I no longer ask how, knowing that the joint Russian-North Korean border is only 2-3 dozen kilometers, you will be there to barrage. So you have to barrage along our sea border. I do not ask if there is enough detection range. But just what will it give when they are not built into the control circuit of these complexes? Where and how will you transfer data? And most importantly, how. Or do you think that the enemy of Eun (Americans, South Koreans and Japanese) will not use electronic warfare? Why are these proposals quite far from reality?

    Quote: Nagaibak
    So much pathos.))) Of course, you can bomb everything.))) But to capture and hold alone bombing will not work.

    I absolutely agree with you. But why? Why "capture"? After all, the task of the Americans is to destroy nuclear missile weapons in the first place. And if Eun “first” or “in response” uses nuclear weapons - there will be no need to conquer anything after nuclear strikes. In extreme cases, there is "cannon fodder" for this - the South Korean military ....

    Perhaps the use of electronic warfare. The question is, what is the range of these devices. Will this action complicate the Coalition if their aircraft or ships are at a distance, for example 600 km. In addition, the directional interference is “jamming” primarily North Korea’s electronic equipment

    About 10 millions of reserves can break a lot of firewood on the isthmus.
    The Japanese, too, did not make sense to sacrifice their lives selflessly at the end of the war with the Yankees ... however, such a people (traditions, spirit and all that).
    The Koreans will not yield to them in their "savvy" and desire to fight for their homeland.
    At one time, the entire united geyropa was against the USSR. In their opinion, we had no chance at all, but history showed the opposite.


    They can break a lot of firewood, nobody argues here. But here 10 million of the reserve is IMHO a somewhat overestimated estimate. Perhaps a 10-million-strong mobilization reserve, but this also seems unrealistic.
    Currently, the figures are approximately the following (for North Korea)
    Armed forces - 1.190.000 people, in t.ch.
    Ground forces - approximately 1.020.000 people
    Navy - 60.000 people
    Air Force - 110,000 people
    Militia - 189,000 people

    RESERVE - about 600,000 people
    Militarized reserve formations - 5.700.000
    Paramilitary formations are local variants of the Red Guard and youth units.
    The question is not whether there are many or few, but how and with what means to arm them. It is good if they (the North Koreans) have enough small arms for all these 6,3 million people. The army transfers its old systems to the reserve (they go into service, including paramilitary units, but not in such a huge amount.
    North Koreans, of course, "will not yield" in the desire to fight for their homeland. The question is different. whether they will continue to fight without leadership or give up.
    In general, the issue of "savvy" and the desire to fight for the homeland is quite complex (albeit very interesting). We heard a lot of speeches by supporters of Saddam and Gaddafi and their desire to fight against the invaders to the end, but it ended very sadly for these leaders. You can recall our recent history. Over 18 years of peaceful construction, a generation has grown that was ready to fight for the Soviet Union and Soviet power, and yet tens and hundreds of thousands were on the side of the enemy. Therefore, it is very difficult to speak here.

      If you take your figure of hundreds of thousands, it will turn out that the bulk of those who served among the Nazis are criminals of all stripes, former fists, former white and other .. former. The percentage is small.
      In the case of the DPRK .. that there are no examples when the special operations forces of the DPRK, conducting soy operations against the Republic of Kazakhstan, suddenly surrendered completely, but here are examples of the fact that they fought to the end, the absolute majority, so that the motivation of the North Koreans, against the motivation of the Amers and South Koreans, a very, very big difference.
      Today in service with the DPRK Armed Forces are:

      Short-range missile "Hwason-6", put into operation in 1990. It is an improved modification of the Hwason-5 rocket with a flight range of up to 700 km. It is estimated that between 300 and 600 of these missiles are currently in service;
      The medium-range missile Hwason-7. Adopted in 1997, it can hit targets at a distance of 1300 km;
      Medium-range missile “No-Dong-2”, it was put into service in 2004, its flight range is 2 thousand km;
      Hvason-10 medium-range ballistic missile. It has been in service since 2009, with a range of up to 4,5 thousand km. It is believed that today Pyongyang can have up to 200 of these missiles;
      Hwason-13 intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of up to 7,5 thousand km. It was first shown at the parade in 2012. Hwason 13 can reach the United States, which, of course, is of great concern to the Americans. It should also be noted that the DPRK has already entered the club of space states. At the end of 2012, the Kwanmyonson-3 artificial satellite was launched into orbit. Https: //militaryarms.ru/armii-mira
      / vvooruzhennye-sily-kndr /
      Be that as it may, the damage to the satellites of the USA = RK and Japan, if they get involved in the conflict, will be unacceptable.
      Thus, the armed forces of the DPRK, despite the relatively outdated weapons, have a fairly high combat potential. At the same time, it is obvious that a significant number of various types of military equipment, combined with a developed network of fortifications, will allow North Korean troops to conduct effective military operations even against a numerically superior enemy and in the conditions of its air supremacy.

But the model SCUD-D, which is also called SCUD-ER or Hwasong-7 (the name most likely does not correspond to reality), the range is really 700 km with a reduced warhead. The total number of all issued Hwasong-6 is estimated to be slightly less. In particular, Hwasong-6 - estimated about 200-300 missiles and 30 to 40 launchers.

    The Hwason-7 missile and the Nodong-A missile are the same missile.
    Moreover, the missiles with the name "Nodong" are several completely different missiles
    There were the following modifications:
    • Nodong-A is also known as Hwasong-7. It was in two versions. Modification of "Nodong-A" is sometimes also called "Nodong-1." Flight range 1300 km, weight BG about 1100-1200 kg
    • "There is also a modification of" Nodong-A1, which is also called "Nodong-2." The range of 1500 km, the weight of the BG - 650-700 kg

    In addition to these two modifications of the Hwasong-7 missiles, there were also missiles that had the designation Nodong in the west. This is the Hwasong-10 rocket, designated in the west as Nodong-B or Musudan, and the Hwasong-13 rocket, known as Nodong-S.
    The number of Hwasong-7 missiles is estimated at about 10 launchers and 90 missiles. Although I met the figure of 50 launchers and 200 missiles, but this was an isolated case. Usually 10 launch / 90 missile numbers

    The Hwasong 10 or Musudan was a rather unsuccessful missile. Its accuracy was very small. At a range of 4000 km, it had a CVO of about 4 km. For a rocket without YABG, it’s the same as letting it go “into milk”. Production was extremely small. According to estimates, production was limited to about 50 units. Some of them (18 units, EMNIP) were delivered to Iran. The weight of the warhead is 1 ton at a range of 2500 km or 650 kg at a range of 4000 km. Figures of 200 units I have never met. But the fact that the production of this rocket lasted less than a year - I had to read. Currently, this missile is being replaced by the Hwason-12 missile with the same characteristics, but more accurate

    The author of the article judges nuclear weapons on the example of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and from here his misconceptions ... One old Soviet X-55 cruise missile, such as the American Tomahawk, carries a 400 kt nuclear warhead, which is more than a hundred times more than each those bombs that the United States dropped in 1945 on Japan ... One such warhead is enough to destroy a country like Israel completely ... So the scale of the destruction in Japan itself from a nuclear strike by North Korea can be much larger than the author imagines ... If we talk about missile defense and air defense of the United States, then their real capabilities are in question. Testing at the training ground is one thing, but real military operations are completely different ... During the war with Iraq, the latest US air defense systems Patriot were not able to fully protect Israel from antediluvian Iraqi missiles, from the time of Khrushchev, and if the missiles carried nuclear warheads in Israel’s place, there would now be burned field ...

        When I wrote, I thought about something else. The bottom line is that a ballistic missile carries a warhead much more powerful than the one that carries a cruise missile. In North Korea, ballistic missiles.

    As Putin recently admitted there, he knew about the presence of nuclear weapons in the DPRK back in 2001, while that stood still and the DPRK did nothing to improve the quality of its missiles, delivery vehicles of a different kind, in general equipment and weapons?

    Vladimir Kryuchkov also knew about the existence of a developed (at least constructively) nuclear device and the Political Bureau of the EMNIP reported on this either in 1989 or in 1990. However, the Koreans at that time did not yet have the required amount of weapons materials
    Putin may have known about the presence of nuclear weapons in 2001, but the question is not about nuclear weapons, about missiles. What about North Korean missiles?
    Of course, they did everything to improve the quality. But do not forget that in the first place they had to go through all the stages of creating rocket weapons. Start with reengineering, i.e. from the “Reverse” design based on Soviet missiles received from the Middle East Scud. Therefore, all of his first missiles were very primitive, just as the same SCADs were primitive in comparison with modern missiles. And all the first DPRK missiles - HWASONG-5 и HWASONG-6 in fact, these are the same old Soviet SCADAS. Even a more "advanced system - SCAD-ER (or" Hwasong-9 ") - in fact the same ordinary SCAD with an increased range and, accordingly, tanks and a reduced mass of the warhead

    Further, more modern North Korean NODONG missiles (Hwasong-7 and Hwasong-8) already had more powerful engines, larger dimension engines and a larger diameter body. I will not make assumptions, but most likely the assistance was provided, most likely not quite legally by representatives of the Makeyevka Design Bureau (There was information that a certain number of missile officers from this design bureau were detained while trying to leave for North Korea). But in any case, help-help, but North Korean rocketers themselves studied. It was necessary to pull up the industry, to master new technologies. Nevertheless, in a number of North Korean missiles engines or their clones from Soviet SLBMs are used, including and R-27.
    In addition, UN sanctions extended to materials for engines, as well as instruments for guidance systems. The conditions were such that the accuracy was not higher than 0,1% of the range, i.e. 0,001.
    Over time, the quality of the products also changed, and the accuracy certainly improved. There are already interesting developments, in particular the use of synthetic fibers for winding cases.
    The latest types of their missiles are already based on engines created on the basis of the RD-250 (engines from the Soviet R-36 / 8K67 ICBMs or Cyclone-type launch vehicles).
    Fortunately for all, the DPRK lacks a fleet of command-measuring complex ships. And this means that having calculated theoretically they cannot practically check the parameters of their missiles. When launching along a steep path to a relatively short range, confirmation of range calculations can be obtained, but it is impossible to verify how the rocket will actually behave at the maximum range and what will happen to the warheads. Only when firing at maximum range.

    What do we get as a result. Theoretically, some types of missiles can reach the United States (Alaska, Hawaii, the continental United States), but what in reality - no one knows ...

    As for other delivery vehicles. Now they have missiles for submarines, but North Korea has only one of these boats, with one launching shaft. The launch range of this product is approximately 1500 km. The autonomy of the boat is such that it can operate in a radius of the order of 1500-2000 km. That is, the range is not enough.
    Now, according to certain sources in the DPRK, they are either planning, or the construction of a series of 4-6 boats with three missiles has begun. Already a larger displacement, with greater autonomy and for longer-range missiles. As far as one can judge, these will be the new Bukkuksong-3 missiles.

    As for other delivery vehicles, they are essentially not there. Do not count the Chinese clones of Soviet IL-28 as delivery vehicles.
    As for other weapons. You can talk about them, but for this you should ask specific questions, because otherwise it is all very difficult. Talk about what the interlocutor is interested in, not knowing what he is interested in

    What can I say about this, comrade. IMHO the author of this publication, the link to which you gave has read a lot, including and Tom Clancy. It is there (EMNIP in the book and the film "All Fears of the World") that the atomic charge is delivered to the port and there it is blown up.
    What can be said from this text. In principle, the author is right, it is necessary to inflict maximum damage to the enemy, this is an axiom. The question is that no one can say where their ICBMs can fly and what their accuracy will be. So far it was only that in one of the flights it was by no means at the maximum altitude (equivalent to about 5000 km of range), the payload was something around 750 kg. In the second test, when the height of the EMNIP was reached at 3700 km, which is equivalent to about 7500 km of the range, the load was generally 150 kg. What the North Koreans can “load” a load of 600 kg into is unknown, but I don’t think that their nuclear charges were washed so compact and perfect as ours or American ones. They probably can put a head into 650 kg and that last tested 150 kt charge. But in 150 kg - I'm afraid that nothing.
    With what accuracy a North Korean rocket will fly to San Diego (if it will fly at all) - no one knows. But even if they succeeded in doubling the accuracy, the KVO would still be about 8000 km away. Even if they managed to increase it by 4 times, it would still be 4 km. The base where the ships are based (destroyers, transports, boats - this is a zone 2-5 km long and 6-3 km wide. Can something incapacitate such a charge with such a blunder on the territory of the base - you know, it's quite complicated.

    As for the delivery of the charge on the ship to the territory of this base.
    Well, firstly, the author clearly does not know about the joint Soviet-American experiment, when the presence of nuclear weapons on a ship was determined remotely from a helicopter. I think that North Korean ammunition is louder than the Soviet and American ammunition in the late 80s when this experiment was conducted. Over nearly 30 years, both instruments and detection methods have improved. So I think, even without delaying the fishing trawler, with a high probability this charge will be detected.
    The second one. Suppose that a North Korean trawler managed to lead an American and get away from the ships carrying out the blockade. And it was possible to reload in Manila on some vessel. What's next? You do not think that the Americans will "sleep"? And is this little boat just going to the base?
    On the diagram in red - the path which the ship must be forgiven before it enters the zone where the combat and landing ships are concentrated. And this is about 10-12 km. The zone itself is about 5 x 3 km (green zone). Blue shows the air base. I am afraid that civilian ships will be wrapped 20-30 kilometers from the naval base.

    So comrade GransassoI’ll try to answer your question, what
    The biggest problem for the USA / South Korea is the possibility of the North Korean shelling of the Seoul with ordinary artillery and RSZO

    What can I say. Surely yes. The problem will be quite substantial, especially at the first stage. But how long this problem will last is very difficult to say.
    To begin with, the DPRK has a large number of artillery systems, meaning artillery itself, mortars and MLRS. Estimates are different in different sources. I will give some of them. In particular, the directory “Military Balance-2017” contains the following numbers (without breakdown by type).
    • Barrel artillery - 8500 guns
    • Mortars - about 7500 mortars of 82 mm, 120 mm, 140 mm (North Korean) and 160 mm caliber. In principle, they can be ignored with good conscience when it comes to Seoul
    • MLRS - 5100 units.
    That is a total of 21100 units

    There are other numbers. For example, that the number of artillery is 13000 (that's all - and artillery, and mortars, and MLRS). There was such a figure
    • More than 10400 artillery barrels, including, including 3500 towed and 4400 self-propelled.
    • 7500 mortars
    • More than 2500 MLRS units.
    There were also the number of MLRS - 4800. The question is rather slippery and ambiguous. The fact is that much of the obsolete weapons is transferred to the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Guard, which is part of the national forces, but is essentially a militia. For example, they can also see our old Katyushas on a trailer towed by a tractor and many other “rarities”. But they are sometimes taken into account in publications as existing ones.
    Here, for example, the North Korean army and the militia are armed with about 3774 MLRS of 107 mm caliber (produced under a Chinese license), there are about 100 "purely Chinese such systems and about 50 of our RPU-14s. That is, about 4000 systems. But how many of them are in It’s hard to say now how many militias are in the militia. You can only find data about the year 2010 with a breakdown by formations, and even then without a guarantee. They can often be deleted from weapons that threaten Seoul, because their maximum flight range is up to 10 km. To Seoul, in the closest place to DMZ - about 28 km. And then not to Seoul itself, but to the outskirts of that conglomeration that Seoul has now turned into. What is the density of buildings there, and population density - I do not know.
    In fact, it turns out that out of the total number of guns and MLRS, only 130-mm M-46 and their Chinese clones, individual 152-mm systems when firing with an active-missile projectile can reach Seoul. And even then to the outskirts. And almost everything.
    All that remains is a 240-mm MLRS with a range of 40-45 km, a 300-mm KN-09 MLRS with a range of up to 180 km (how many are HZ, but since the system is new, I don’t think so much) and 170- mm / 180 mm self-propelled guns "Koksan" with a firing range of 45 to 60 km. The biggest minus in these self-propelled guns is that they can make 1-2 shots in 5 minutes. Their number is estimated to be about 60 units.
    Where and how many of them will be concentrated, I can’t say right now, I need to look at the materials, but it is unlikely that they will all be concentrated in one place, although who knows their Koreans.
    The composition of the troops of each echelon and the presence of brigades of self-propelled guns, MLRS and artillery are also known from the open press. But all these corps of the first or second echelons are located along the entire demilitarized zone with a length of 250 km.
    In addition, it is difficult to believe the words of the same North Koreans that they will turn Seoul into a fiery hell. Yes, civilian casualties will be enormous, but having 200 volley fire systems and 60 self-propelled guns empty, it is extremely difficult to turn a city with dimensions of about 80 by 85 km into a "fire hell".

    The rest of the breakdown by the possible number and photographs of arythillery and MLRS - in the evening

      Hello , Old26 hi

      Thank you for the detailed answer ... otherwise there is a lot of lyrics about the countless artillery sweeps sweeping Seoul with a fiery tornado and few real figures



      It turns out that Seoul is actually threatened by essentially several hundreds of barrels and MLRS ... located in the area under close scrutiny of both the South Caucasus and the USA for 60 years already ...

      Not such an impossible task in the sense of suppressing most of them with a preemptive strike



      And the question is what is the real combat capability of the North Korean army ... I’m not even talking about weapons .. they are mostly antiques .... namely, how they will behave in the absence of communication and commands ... and at all levels ... everything closes there on one person ... and communications, will be the primary goal ...


      History says that in such modes with the initiative it is very bad in a critical situation ... and usually panic right away

    On October 2, 1950, the Korean War had already been waged for more than 3 months, so it didn’t hit; it was launched at the initiative of Mao Tse Dong. The United States intervened in the internal Korean civil war from day one.
    Falklandy, Damanski and Kashmir are not attacks on strategic nuclear deterrence weapons or on the command of a nuclear power.
    The DPRK managers have no illusions that it is possible to bargain for maintaining the regime in response to the rejection of the nuclear program. Of course, Washington can accept such conditions, but the whole world experience shows that after disarmament it will nevertheless destroy both the regime and the DPRK. The war, if it begins, will be total for life and death.
    If, after all, the United States dares to attack the DPRK, there will be no artillery terror of Seoul. The main threat to the United States, besides the nuclear weapons of the DPRK, is ground forces. In the previous war, the United States fought for three months against the 100 thousandth North Korean army with absolute supremacy in the air and sea and with varying success. Now the correlation of forces has changed much and on a side that is not better for the USA and its allies, so the war can last more than three years and end for the USA in no better way than in 1953. Tactical nuclear weapons will not help much against the KPA ground forces on the battlefield either . The U.S. Navy and aircraft, on the other hand, are excellent targets for the tactical nuclear weapons of Koreans.
    The death of the DPRK and the extermination of its population is not so simple although the entire US nuclear arsenal will be decided to be used only for this purpose.
    But what will happen to the United States only after one or several successful nuclear strikes against their cities is not easy to predict.
    The fact that it is not difficult to predict is that Trump the Americans themselves will judge and that several more powers will very quickly receive nuclear weapons from the DPRK.

    2. The point is not only in the number of soldiers, but also in equipping the army. Yes, the land forces of the DPRK are 2 times greater than that of the south, but the equipment of the southerners is an order of magnitude better than that of the northerners. So it’s not a fact that it’s marching.

    On the banks of an unknown river, the Spaniards came across a detachment of about a hundred armed Araucans. Araucans attacked, and several times numerically superior to them, the Spaniards suffered heavy losses. Nothing of the kind has happened in America over the 45 years of the conquistadors. (C)

    There are really many examples. You can recall the Soviet partisans who fought against the regular German army. But everything is changing. And now, it’s worth remembering that war will not be a wall-to-wall war. There will be a war of machines, a remote war, a war of technology. And here the numerical superiority of the North Koreans will be leveled by the technological advantage of the South.

    Do not forget that the weather in that war was not made by the army of northerners, but by Chinese volunteers and Soviet pilots. Now Now, the balance of power has really changed and not for the better for the DPRK, and not for the United States. Russia will no longer be fighting in its time on the side of the DPRK. As with high probability and the PRC. But on the US side will be both South Korea and Japan. Two countries are quite highly developed in technological and industrial terms. For which the DPRK with its continuously developing nuclear missile program, like a bone in the throat.
    Victims will be, and huge on both sides. I do not know if you are aware that approximately 100% of North Korean forces are concentrated on the North Korean side of the demilitarized zone at a depth of about 60 km.

    1st echelon is 4 infantry and 1 artillery corps. I will not speak about the number of divisions and artillery brigades yet.
    Behind it is the second echelon, more powerful with the EMNIP 2 mechanized corps and one tank corps. This echelon was intended to take Seoul, after the death of the first echelon, or rather its part, which will be in front of Seoul. Given that from DMZ to the borders of the Seoul conglomeration, less than 30 km means, at least there, North Koreans expected to put at least an infantry corps. That is, there will be a lot of blood, but none of this will happen if the Americans attack first. If Eun, then he will no longer be able to count on China’s help. And the Americans are very likely to provoke the DPRK to launch its first strike.

    Well, then the dashing trouble began. These are products created in the 50s. In my opinion, even the landing party does not have RPU-14 (they were in the 60s - 70s. And they, as you see, have a lot of them.

    There are many comments about how the army and specifically North Korean nuclear weapons are outdated or primitive - but why doesn’t anyone want to think about how China could secretly help create DPRK and nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles? Eun himself and his disassembly with the United States are profitable for the Chinese comrades ... As long as the Yankees toil with Eun he will seriously not be in China and especially not in Russia ...
    Moreover, Trump did a great stupid thing by bringing enmity with Eun to the extreme point - now it’s too late for America to retreat without losing face ... If the US can not really do anything with atomic Eun, then tomorrow another 20 countries in the world will acquire nuclear weapons as a guarantee of the security of the ruling modes !!! And talk of a global nuclear strike against Russia or China will all the more look like a normal mattress chatter no more !!! As they say empty chatter in a bad game !!!
    In general - I think the United States is unlikely to attack Una ... They have long weighed all the risks - they like to fight with security guarantees for themselves and minimal risks of major losses - but here there is neither one nor the other !!!

    With the help of 8 transporters, you can deliver to the positioning area and install on the launch pad any number of missiles in peacetime in a minute readiness for launch. They can be there for months and they can be changed after some period of time. Any number of missiles can be installed in the mines in maximum readiness for launch. All the same, Hwason-14 was fired along a hinged path to simulate the maximum range (10,5 thousand kilometers), while American missile defense missiles were never fired against ICBMs with a range of more than 6 thousand km. The Unha space rocket also successfully flew 2 times to its “full range” and a nuclear explosion at an altitude of 200-300 km may have not very pleasant consequences for vital US systems. I wonder where you got the information that the Korean ICBMs have no means of overcoming missile defense or maneuvering combat units?
    It is quite possible to imagine such a scenario when not only 8, but 30–40 missiles fly off to the USA and only half of them intercept missiles and half of the rest of the ICBMs work as expected. I think that this scenario is very optimistic for the American missile defense and maybe a bit of damage will not be fatal for the United States. But Trump is never forgiven.

    tested it along a hinged path. And the height of the hinged was 3700 km EMNIP. Elementary knowledge of the subject says that when shooting along a hinged trajectory, the range (equivalent) is TWO APOGEY. An elementary task from a second-year school course. Multiply 3700 km by 2. So what is 10500 km? Despite the fact that the last test was at a payload of 150 kg. Here you can’t stick a nuclear warhead into this mass.

    but American missile defense missiles have never been used against ICBMs with a range of more than 6 thousand kilometers.

    Are you sure about that? And how is intercepting ICBMs with a range of 6000 km different from intercepting ICBMs with a range of 10000 km ??. In addition, the North Koreans have never been tested to the maximum range. It is not known how much these missiles will fly off in real launch (not theoretically, but really), how BBs will behave at speeds different from those that were when shooting along a hinged path. And in general, what will be the quo ...

    The Unha space rocket also successfully flew 2 times to its “full range” and a nuclear explosion at an altitude of 200-300 km may have not very pleasant consequences for vital US systems.

    And to a height of 200-300 km, the holy spirit will abandon the nuclear warhead, or "the great spirit of Juche"? Do you even know what mass load Eunha-3 threw? Besides Eunha, not Unha? Of course, to place a nuclear warhead on a rocket, which out of 4 successfully flew only two - the top of wisdom .... And what are the pleasant consequences for the United States will have a 3-10 kt charge explosion at an altitude of 20-2 hundred kilometers? Or do you still live the dreams and data of the 3s, when electricity was cut off from the Americans? half a century has already passed, technologies and means of protection have changed, and most importantly, Koreans do not have such miniaturized warheads when 60-200 megatons can be shoved at 1,5 kg. Neither the Americans nor we have such warheads ...

    I wonder where you got the information that the Korean ICBMs have no means of overcoming missile defense or maneuvering combat units ?.

    Do you think that with a load of a couple of hundred kilograms, even at half a ton, you can stuff a North Korean warhead and means to overcome missile defense? LEARN THE MATCH when real means of overcoming missile defense appeared on Soviet ICBMs, and not broadcast about the genius of the North Koreans. who have experienced a nuclear charge 6 times and ICBMs 2 times already have everything on it.
    Maneuvering combat units in service NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD, including both in the USA and in Russia. They are being tested, moreover, only as demonstrators of technology, and not REAL BATTLE BLOCKS

    It is quite possible to imagine such a scenario when not half, but 8–30 missiles fly to the United States and missile defense is intercepted only by half of them and half of the rest of the ICBMs will work as it should ..

    But what a trifle, talking about 30-40 ICBMs. Let's get 300-400 or 3000-4000. Damn, at least read open data about the presence and quantity of medium-range missiles in North Korea that have been produced for more than one year. And here after 2 tests in July you are already betting on 30-40 North Korean ICBMs. And do not forget that Korea is not Russia. It’s impossible to bring ships close to Russia with the same “Standard” that can shoot missiles on takeoff. With the North Koreans, this number can pass and the “standards” can hit the target even before it picks up speed inaccessible to these anti-missiles .. Those missiles that they do not reach will intercept the GBI on the North American continent.

    There are many comments about how the army and specifically North Korean nuclear weapons are outdated or primitive - but why doesn’t anyone want to think about how China could secretly help create DPRK and nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles?

    Well, the legs of North Korean nuclear weapons grow from China and the USSR. But as for the means of delivery - there is NONE A North Korean missile that would have Chinese roots. Soviet - yes, but not Chinese. Secretly help - this is how? Whisper nuclear secrets in your ear? Or create a nuclear missile industry?

    Do not forget that the weather in that war was not made by the army of northerners, but by Chinese volunteers and Soviet pilots. Now Now, the balance of power has really changed and not for the better for the DPRK, and not for the United States. Russia will no longer be fighting in its time on the side of the DPRK. As with high probability and the PRC. But on the US side will be both South Korea and Japan. Two countries are quite highly developed in technological and industrial terms. For which the DPRK with its continuously developing nuclear missile program, like a bone in the throat.

    1. No Chinese volunteers or Soviet pilots fought in the first 4 months of this war. During this period, the 100-strong KPA consistently carried out a complete defeat of the South Korean army and then inflicted a heavy defeat on another US ground army. all this in conditions of absolute air and sea superiority of the United States and the multiple superiority of the United States and its allies in tanks and heavy artillery. Only then, at the end of September 1950, in the third month after the start of the war, the United States created more than threefold superiority on land, and only then were they able to go on the offensive. It is also impossible not to notice that the 300-strong Vietnamese People's Army, together with partisans, in 1975 completely destroyed the million-strong army of South Vietnam, the largest and well-armed army after the Chinese in Asia, which also had absolute superiority in the air and at sea.
    2. Now the KPA already has a million-strong army with thousands of tanks, self-propelled guns, MLRS, ATGMs, MANPADS, anti-aircraft missile systems of its own production, and then they received only limited quantities of 90% obsolete Soviet weapons. The United States then had the combat experience of a real war and a large recruited army - now it is a small professional army which, after Iraq and Afghanistan, is not in the best condition (the material parts are worn out to the limit and the personnel are demoralized). In addition, the American ground army also needs to be transferred to Korea because there are now less than 1-2 divisions there. The Japanese army is now much smaller and worse than the US army, and how the South Korean population will greet its appearance in Korea is easy to predict. What remains is the South Korean army, which must withstand the KPA attack for at least a month or two. The last confrontation between the KPA and the South Caucasus army was a KPA MLRS salvo on Yongpyong Island in 2011, which disabled two South Korean 155 mm self-propelled guns and left several soldiers killed and wounded. The retaliatory strike of the South Korean self-propelled guns came at the wrong place where the missile defense system had no longer struck.
    3. Russia did not fight on the side of the DPRK in 1950-53, but only helped with the delivery of weapons and materials, and not for free. Soviet pilots, less or more successfully, covered only the deep zone of the KPA (the border of Korea and China).
    Now Russia can only deliver humanitarian aid to the DPRK and nothing more. Maybe it will be in the interest of Russia that the DPRK will also provide active protection systems for fortified objects. Then the majority of US nuclear strikes will occur at some altitude, and this will reduce the radioactive charge by orders of magnitude not only in Korea and China, but also in Russia itself.
    4. Still, I think that the United States has good military analysts and will not agree to a new, very dangerous adventure in Korea.

    Well, comrade Gransasso, shall we continue? Let's now move on to the 122 mm MLRS
    In the 70s, the first BM-21 Grad combat vehicles arrived from the USSR to the DPRK, on ​​the basis of which the Koreans developed a whole family of their vehicles.

    The first MLRS was the BM-1973, launched in 11, a 30-barrel version of the BM-21 Grad, in which 30 barrels are divided into 2 blocks of 15. The vehicle was produced on many ZiS-151 chassis, a Chinese copy of the ZiL-157- FAW Jiefang CA-30 (in the top photo), a Japanese Isuzu HTW 11 produced in the DPRK.

    1. On the ZiS-151 chassis with in-line pipes



    2. On the chassis of a Chinese copy of the ZIL-157-FAW Jiefang CA-30


    3. On the Japanese Isuzu HTW 11 chassis, produced in the DPRK.


    The MLRS was actively exported to different countries of the world and “sniffed gunpowder”: On the Isuzu HTW 11 chassis, it was supplied either to the Palestinian PLO forces or to the Syrians and participated in the 1982 Lebanon War.

    Since the end of 80, the North Koreans have upgraded the BM-21 Grad by installing it on the extended base of the Isuzu HTW 11 truck, which has a rack on the 40 rocket between the cabin and the pack of guides, that is, on one reload, like the Czechoslovak RSZO RM- 70, Belarusian "BelGrad" and Chinese "Type 90". Moreover, the trunks were again divided into two blocks, 20 trunks in each.

    4. MLRS model M-1985


    5, 6


    Apparently, this particular variant of the MLRS is the main one in the KPA.

    There is no limit to perfection, and at the next parade, the North Koreans demonstrated a variant on the new cross-country chassis 8х8, called "M-1992" on the truck chassis, similar to "Tatra 813".

    7. MLRS model M-1992, model 1993.


    8. On April 19, 2012, at the next parade, the North Koreans demonstrated a version with 12 guides already on the chassis of their own tracked armored personnel carrier "Singhun" VTT-323.


    Most likely, what we have in front of us is a functional analogue of our TOS-1 "Buratino" - a vehicle for direct fire on the battlefield. The caliber is, admittedly, 122 millimeters, and there are only 12 tubes, but if we consider direct fire, where dispersion has not yet had time to play a big role, then it will not seem small to anyone. Especially if the whole battery starts firing. What’s interesting: loading in combat is provided, for which there is a large hatch, from which the missiles are fed into the launcher.

    9. There is, let’s say, a “standard” version of our “Grad”. This is the North Korean M-1977 system. Well, the most “exotic” is certainly the installation of a package of 18 122 mm caliber guides on a biaxial tractor platform trailer, with places for 4 members crew. True, this system is not in service with the army, but with the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Guard

    Chernobol too, but the example is incorrect. External influence is one thing, but yes, reactors are designed precisely in such a way as to withstand a jet plane falling on them and remain, if not operational, then at least intact. Chernobyl and Fukushima are still somewhat different

    When I wrote, I thought about something else. The bottom line is that a ballistic missile carries a warhead much more powerful than the one that carries a cruise missile. In North Korea, ballistic missiles.

    Not always. if we consider the missiles of the late 60s and early 70s, one could agree with you, and even then only partially. High power (megatons, or even tens of megatons) is a consequence of the low accuracy of missiles of those times. For example, the R-7 EMNIP missile was designed for a BG with a power of 5 Mt and its CEP was approximately the same - to km. The same "Minuteman-1" EMNIP carried a BG of about 1,2 MT, but the CEP was already significantly smaller. Modern missiles have a CEP (I don’t take the best, I take the average) of about 150-200 meters and a warhead power of about 150-300 kt. The warhead of a cruise missile has approximately the same power - 150 or 200 kt. The only difference is that the CD can have a CEP of 5-10-15 meters, which the BR does not have. But you have to pay for everything. Great accuracy - low speed

    Why not for years? Walk like this in a big way. The USSR could have had such missiles at maximum readiness for a couple of days, but these are NORTH KOREAN MISSILES. They can be at this stage of readiness for months. Until finally the fuel eats away at their fuel tanks and hulls...

    They say that 50 years ago the USSR had ICBMs with liquid propellant engines operating at maximum readiness for several years. But where do these yellow untermensch belong to such technology from 50 years ago?
    You can place as many missiles in the silos as you want, given the North Korean industrial productivity of 4-6 missiles per month. And place all this in mines that the North Koreans do not yet have. But it is possible to place them in mines that do not exist.

    You know better how many and what kind of missiles the DPRK produces per month and whether they have silos or not. I don’t have such information, but I thought that if someone can make ICBMs and several thousand large underground structures, then it is very likely that several dozen silos could be made unnoticed by the reconnaissance of overseas supermensch.
    tested it along a hinged path. And the height of the hinged was 3700 km EMNIP. Elementary knowledge of the subject says that when shooting along a hinged trajectory, the range (equivalent) is TWO APOGEY. An elementary task from a second-year school course. Multiply 3700 km by 2. So what is 10500 km? Despite the fact that the last test was at a payload of 150 kg. Here you can’t stick a nuclear warhead into this mass.

    Still, the range may be a bit or more than two apogees for this trajectory and for ICBMs? What do you think? There are several American comrades from good sites who have made calculations and write about some 10500 km. But their education is poor or they didn’t finish second grade? They don’t know what the load was, but even here you know better.
    Are you sure about this? And how does intercepting an ICBM with a range of 6000 km differ from intercepting an ICBM with a range of 10000 km??.

    So the Americans talk about 6000 km and have made a testing scheme. Of course, in principle, the interception of ballistic missiles with a range of 1000 and 6000 and 10000 km are similar. But for some reason they say that some are more difficult than others. Maybe the bit speed of approach is different?
    In addition, the North Korean ones have never been tested at maximum range. It is unknown how far these missiles will fly away during a real launch (not theoretically, but in reality), how the warheads will behave at speeds different from those when firing along a hinged trajectory. And in general, what will the QUO be like...

    Nobody knows, just guessing. Testing an ICBM at full range with a real detonation of a nuclear warhead is a very rare event. But if the United States does not believe in the North Korean ICBM and asks Kim to do so, I think that he is ready to fulfill their request.
    And will the holy spirit, or the “great spirit of Juche”, throw a nuclear warhead to a height of 200-300 km? Do you even know how much weight Eunha-3 carried? Besides, it's Eunha, not Unha?

    They say that Inha (sorry, I don’t have Y and it will take a lot of time to copy) threw 200 kg into a 600 km sun-synchronous orbit and that in a low orbit she can throw more than 400 kg. This entire bit may be enough for 300 kilotons, as was the last experience of the Koreans.
    Of course, placing a nuclear warhead on a rocket, which has successfully flown only two times out of 4 times, is the height of wisdom... And what pleasant consequences will an explosion of a charge of 3-10 kt at an altitude of 20-2 hundred kilometers have for the United States? Or are you still living the dreams and data of the 3s, when Americans' electricity was cut off? Half a century has already passed, technologies and means of defense have changed, and most importantly, the Koreans do not have such miniaturized warheads when 60-200 megatons can be stuffed into 1,5 kg. Neither the Americans nor we have such warheads...
