, the incident occurred during a scheduled inspection of equipment.

Don't care for yourself a "check" .. As it is hard to believe .. Although self-destruction is reliable, and that's good ..

“Soooo, what is it that you have there? ... damn it, the flashlight has sat down ....

Okay, at least Eun didn’t run some Juche in reply ...

[boathouse]

Was they bullets in Eun?

[Well done]

Eun, after all, may not correctly understand and accidentally launch his rocket. Accidentally scaring half the world.

[skinar]

I've been dreaming all my life
see how rockets fly.
And I also did not see them fly.
Ivanovich, how did you shoot back?
Yes, ask him,
how he shot back.

Buttons! I thought for
water! There it is written:
with gas and without gas. And the glass is standing.
Why then confuse people?

What do you understand in
naval humor ?! Fuel oil ...

Comrade Commander!
The rockets are gone.!

What idiocy is that? We sell our latest air defense systems to potential opponents, for our potential we create the latest weapons. I don’t understand anything. Why, why ???????????????????
Money money money. Well then why yell about the impending third world war.

[Nastia makarova]

do it right, if you don’t sell, then there will be no money for the military-industrial complex, the whole world sells and seeks to sell, if not we are happy to sell other countries

[Prisoner]

Your cry of the soul and how much it is related to the topic is not entirely clear. You don't think that the Chhonggun air defense system was sold by us to the South Koreans, do you?

[YOUR]

Have you read the article?
........... The Cheongung medium-range anti-aircraft missile system is a Korean development, created with the help of specialists from the Russian concern Almaz-Antey. ..........

Try to inquire about the global practice of selling arms and military equipment. The weapons sold have slightly different performance characteristics.

[YOUR]

Well yes. Not sharpened by the use of nuclear weapons. Only

[free_flier]

Something at Buk’s ability level ...

[YOUR]

We Buk is a military air defense. SAM for VKS with such characteristics is not. They are necessary for the direct cover of large air defense systems

South Korean Air Force accidentally launched the Chongun air defense missile

Not why they "chHnuli" themselves ... in general, this is some kind of frightening tendency, then the missile is "accidentally" launched from a NATO plane, and most importantly, no one answered, but where did it go, then an air defense missile. And this is not even great. Right now, near our borders, SMD missiles will appear, but what if one of them launches "by accident"?

[Charik]

for about 20 years or maybe even more from an airplane a bomb fell into a vegetable garden glasses down the street in houses flew out in my opinion someone was wounded, 15 km from the nuclear power plant, and what? everyone falls, crashes, "drowns"

[free_flier]

The whole world is in ruin ...

[bald]

Such a misfortune will arise, in the direction of Pyongyang, or in the direction of a flying airplane, and that’s all.

[tlauicol]

Korean S-300. I wonder how you can launch such a missile defense without highlighting the target?

It looks like a hype promotion. Well done, five for marketing, two for discipline. Advertising slogan-Our missiles can be launched to test the mode of self-destruction ... And stupidly pee ...

accidentally launched a Chhongun air defense missile system

Damn, you will never understand the names of an Asian, either they told you about greatness, or they sent them in a sophisticated way.

[APASUS]

I understand that launching a rocket from an accidental hit on the keyboard of such a complex does not work, there is a certain procedure and must be followed in order to launch. This means the launch was deliberate, but they did not explain what led directly to the launch.
In short, the human factor!

[Gray brother]

It’s immediately obvious that the Koreans are far from the Ukrainian Army — these would definitely have fallen into something.
