Report on the participation of batteries of an ultra-large 600-mm caliber rocket launcher in the first complex tactical exercise to launch a simulated nuclear counterstrike.

And as expected here is a confirmation that Best Korean 600 mm caliber MRLS/tactical SRBM launcher is nuclear-capable.

This is the second time that the “nuclear trigger” system has appeared in official North Korean media reports.

Voice of Korea, March 28, 2023:

“Kim Jong-un inquired in detail about the means of using nuclear weapons, about the technical data and characteristic features of the structure and operation of new types of tactical nuclear weapons designed for different purposes and objects of operations, as well as about interchangeability with various weapons systems. He also inquired about the state of information "Nuclear Trigger" system of integrated control of state nuclear weapons, the scientific nature, reliability and safety of which have been clearly proven in the latest general tactical exercises simulating a nuclear counterstrike. He tested the operational plan for a nuclear counterstrike and orders."

KCNA, April 23, 2024:

“Comprehensive tactical exercises on delivering a simulated nuclear counterstrike took place in the following order: practical exercises to test the order and process of units transitioning to readiness to launch a nuclear counterstrike in the event of activation of the “volcanic alert” system - alarm in the maximum nuclear crisis situation for the state, activation exercises command systems for a nuclear counterstrike, practicing the process and procedure for carrying out a mission by a unit entrusted with the task of launching a nuclear counterstrike, firing shells from an ultra-large rocket-propelled gun with a simulated nuclear warhead.

During the exercises, the reliability of the command, control and control system over all nuclear armed forces was multilaterally retested, and the procedures and methods of combat were worked out for the urgent transition of batteries of ultra-large rocket weapons to a nuclear counterattack.

The exercises involved a fire attack battery that distinguished itself in the corresponding formation, and the first exercises within the framework of the “nuclear weapon trigger” system and salvo fire were observed by the commanders and soldiers of the relevant units and subunits."

For the first time, today, officially and loudly, the KN-25 was announced as a deployed nuclear weapon.

However, the fact that it has a nuclear charge became known back in March 2023.

On the poster behind Kim Jong-un, with options for delivery vehicles for the Vulcan-31 charge ("화산-31"), you can see an option with the caption: 600㎜초대형방사포 - 600-mm extra-large rocket launcher.

From Yuri Lyamin's TG:

At the Iraqi exhibition IQDEX 2024, Iran brought a model of the Arman missile system, which was first shown under a different name - Ababil at the Iranian exhibition last year in Russia at Army-2023. It is also worth noting that the range of the version of the missile with an optical-electronic seeker is now indicated to be 26 km less than that of the version of the missile with INS/SNS guidance only, that is, 60 km versus 86 km.

   Sat+INS guided missile have about 80 km range and 45kg warhead, version with optics+INS+sat guidance have 35kg warhead and 60 km range. This system is within Hermes system parameters (although Hermes have 100 km range as claimed, but no optical guidance, one of versions have semi-automatic laser homing). Interesting precision weapon system, but needs good UAV to work with to be efficient.

According to KCNA, on May 17, the General Directorate of Rocketry of the DPRK carried out a test launch of a tactical ballistic missile using a new navigation system. The Secretary General of the WPK, Chairman of State Affairs of the DPRK, respected comrade Kim Jong-un, observed the test launch. This test launch confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the autonomous navigation guidance system. As far as one can judge, a modified version of the Hwasongpo-11Ra missile (Hwasong-11D, as it is called in the West) was tested.

NK testfired 600 mm caliber missile systems (both tracked and wheeled launcher versions were used).
They also tested:

• Joint integrated command system for nuclear forces
• New secure coms.
• Missiles were launched with different trajectories at the target island at 365 km distance.

Firing was done by 3rd battalion of the 331st Artillery regiment

Quote

   The salvo firing of the fire unit took place within the framework of the integrated fire control system, an integral part of the state system of comprehensive control over nuclear weapons.

   The 3rd battalion of the Red Banner Artillery Regiment No. 331 of the KPA artillery formation, which is responsible for carrying out the important mission of conducting a fire raid on the western border, took part in the exercises.

   The fire raid batteries of the 3rd battalion were given a secret encrypted order from the Party's Central Military Committee, after which the battalion's salvo firing took place within the framework of the integrated fire control system.
