"The launches were made around 10 in the morning local time (04.00 Moscow time, respectively) from an area near the town of Wonsan on the east coast of the DPRK," the report said.

The number of missiles released by the agency does not indicate.

Specialists "also did not rule out that the North Korean military could actually conduct artillery firing," the newspaper notes.

The representative of the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan, Mun Gyun, in turn, clarified that "all the missiles (shells) fired into the sea".

According to the agency, Pyongyang undertook these actions “a few hours after the UN Security Council approved the strictest package of sanctions against North Korea over the past 20 years after nuclear testing and rocket launch there.”

“The resolution prohibits the supply to the DPRK of aviation and rocket fuel; all cargo going to and from the DPRK will be subject to inspections. The document also bans the sale by the DPRK of all conventional weapons; significantly limits the export of coal, iron, gold, titanium and rare natural minerals from the country. It also introduces financial sanctions against the DPRK banks, "reminds RIA"News».

          Where else can they launch rockets if not in the Sea of ​​Japan? Not to China or Russia? Another thing is interesting - how long will the North Korean regime last in conditions of such isolation?

                Both China and Russia actually support the DPRK. If there hadn’t been China with Russia now, the DPRK would not have existed even a day

                Western media slandered the DPRK for not bowing their heads before dictatorship and aggression - they created a grotesque image of the Juche and "tyrant dictator" which is 100% false. They have everyone who did not lay down under the Federal Reserve System and defend independence - all are "axis of evil". The townsfolk are being zombified with supposedly simple "truths" - well, why resist! Give up! Lie under the world's bankers and live like Japan and Europe - in a "civilized" and "democratic" world. For this, "showcases" have been created at the points of confrontation - of course, the standard of living in the South Caucasus is probably better - but they are silent about the unrealistic sweatshop exploitation system in the South Caucasus - where people do not take vacations for years for fear of losing their jobs - where there is no confidence in tomorrow. And in the DPRK, despite the sanctions and the blockade - no one goes hungry like in Africa or in India or Brazil - and they are provided with medicine education, etc.

                They couldn’t bomb - they used the info weapon
                Unfortunately we all fell victim to this weapon.

                        DPRK launches short-range missiles in the direction of the Sea of ​​Japan

                        The DPRK military launched several short-range missiles from the east coast of the republic towards the Sea of ​​Japan, RIAH reports news agency Yenhap.

                        Now hammer into any search engine the words: short-range missiles. And look at the results: everywhere there are articles only about the BRMD and there is not a word about the MLRS installation ... MLRS is considered rocket artillery, and not missile weapons.

                        Now hammer into any search engine the words: short-range missiles. And look at the results:

                        Yes, what a search engine gives out on a request is a "weighty argument".
                        Now read this for example:

                        For the MLRS BM-21 was developed 122 mm unguided missile, whose design had a revolutionary effect on the development of post-war rocket artillery. At the suggestion of the chief designer of NII-147 A.N. The Ganichev shell of the projectile is manufactured not by traditional machining from steel blanks, but by a high-performance method of rolling and drawing from steel sheet.

                        Another feature of the ML-BMZ-21 rocket is folding stabilizer planes, which are held in a closed position by a special ring and do not go beyond the dimensions of the projectile. The folding stabilizer itself was not the invention of Tula designers. For example, such a stabilizer was used in the German uncontrolled aircraft missile R4M, the numerous elongated stabilizer feathers of which in the folded position occupied the space around the specially elongated engine nozzle, and, after the rocket left the launch device, leaned back, forming a kind of twig broom. However, this design required artificial extension of the rocket nozzle, thereby increasing its weight and dimensions. In the design of the missile system "Grad" another scheme was adopted. The stabilizer feather was made not flat, but in the form of a sector of the cylinder, curved when viewed from the front along an arc with a radius close to half the diameter of the rocket. The developers called this form the "crow's wing." In the folded position, the surface of the stabilizers continued to extend the cylinder of the rocket engine housing. The disclosure of the stabilizer block, held up by the ring before the start, was carried out by a spring mechanism. In the open position, the stabilizer blades were rotated 1 ° relative to the plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the projectile, which ensured a twist relative to this axis to reduce the influence of the eccentricity of the thrust and the center of mass.

                        Or this:

                        Jet artillery of the period of the Second World War:

                        Jet artillery has a fairly long history. The first rocket samples, fireworks and crackers were known as far back as the Middle Ages. The first combat use of such weapons apparently took place in medieval China.

                        To this day, drawings of the Korean Khvachkhi installation have been preserved, which was a wagon with a multiply-charged launcher mounted on it, in which numerous rockets with steel tips were located. However, the benefits of using this weapon were very doubtful due to low accuracy and unreliability. Nevertheless, the installation could have a powerful psychological effect on the enemy soldiers. The real heyday of rocket artillery occurred during the Second World War, when it appeared on the battlefields in massive numbers, proving its effectiveness. It was during World War II that the warring countries were able to convince themselves of the tremendous destructive power and effectiveness of these weapons.

                        One of the symbols of World War II will forever remain Soviet Katyusha. During the war years, rocket artillery was able to perfectly complement the artillery barrel and after the conflict, all modern artillery developed under the influence and experience of military operations on the fronts of the Second World War. In this regard, Katyusha gave rise to a special kind of artillery - mobile multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), which can be moved directly with troops, accompanying their actions with fire and quickly changing firing positions.

    The DPRK recently tested a new anti-tank missile system. Here's the link:
    http://news.rambler.ru/scitech/32932000/
    The DPRK military industry has developed a new anti-tank missile system (ATGM) with a laser guidance system. Bulsae-3 complex shooting at the firing range was demonstrated to the country's leader Kim Jong-un. This was reported by Naenara.
    As noted in the message, the complex is equipped with a missile with a laser guidance system, and is capable of hitting modern tanks with combined armor protection. Details of the development of the complex were not reported, however, in the comments of the famous Russian military god bmpd, conducted by experts from the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST), it was noted that Bulsae-3 is a development of the Bulsae-2 ATGM, in turn, created on the basis of the Soviet 9K111 complex "Bassoon" (AT-4 Spigot according to NATO classification).
    From the "Bassoon" complex is marked by an elongated missile with a longer firing range (up to 5,5 kilometers, according to experts) and a laser guidance system instead of a semi-automatic wired. Thus, in terms of its performance characteristics, it corresponds to the modern Russian ATGM “Cornet”. It is assumed that the new ATGM will be able to hit modern tanks of the USA, South Korea and Japan in the frontal projection.

      Turkish citizens, while supporting ISIS, grin at Russia at the same time. And this is the main condition for their "moderation." And the democrats do not impose sanctions against the moderate.

      Indeed, how can a person who has visited the DPRK pour mud on this magnificent country, where the dreams of every citizen are fulfilled.
      A person who has visited the DPRK cannot write badly about a country where paradise is embodied on earth. Where a leader wipes a tear to everyone.
      It’s only a pity that you won’t be forced to kick in there personally.

      Perhaps they just tested their new 300-mm MLRS KN-09 with a firing range of 180-200 km?

      Some with such a significant look speak of these terrible sanctions imposed by the UN - but no one has read these sanctions and does not know what is in them smile

    I was surprised that it was not just a missile launch, but as many as "SEVERAL", and maybe not missiles at all, but artillery shells.
    The question arises - was there a boy?

    YES when the fat man calms down. It seems that he studied in Switzerland, there are brains, the world looked, but he does the same thing ... Blackmail, blackmail and again blackmail. A month later, again, tankers with fuel oil and wheat will be asked, in exchange for a ban on missile tests for six months, then again on a new one .. This series is already bored.

      But 95% of VO commentators admire the "great marshal" Kim just for the fact that he threatens to launch a nuclear missile at the United States and has forbidden everything that is possible, while living in the CIS countries themselves, they enjoy the benefits of civilization prohibited in the DPRK and minus proposals to move to live in beloved Juche country.

    Maybe a volley of mortars?

    “The resolution prohibits the supply of aviation and rocket fuel to the DPRK, all cargo going to and from the DPRK will be inspected. The document also prohibits the sale of DPRK all conventional weapons; significantly limits the export from the country of coal, iron, gold, titanium and rare natural minerals. Also introduced financial sanctions against banks of the DPRK "
    I hope our authorities did not sign this fig leaf? Koreans, as I understand it, do not violate anything. They have full moral right. smile

    It’s only a pity that you won’t be forced to kick in there personally.

    Maybe stop sending all those who disagree with you for permanent residence in North Korea ..? As the famous saying goes, "don't tell me what to do and I won't tell you where to go .."

      Why not? In the same place, according to the fans of the "great leader", everything is cool, there is no hunger, corruption and crime, all the benefits of civilization that have come to us from the decaying west are prohibited there. If you admire the realities of North Korea, why are you hostile to proposals to go there? laughing
      How am I being pinned by those who, living in civilized countries, having what is impossible for "ordinary" North Koreans, think that everything is fine in the DPRK ...

      That's right, Russia does not need the inadequate threatening nuclear weapons to neighboring countries when food runs out.
