Well, the rocket is really very large, much larger than the "Hwaseong-14", so they used a nine-axle chassis. Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 7 minutes ago, Willy Brandt said: Pyongsong at the March 16 Factory. They produce or just upgrade their chinese "Lumber trucks" there to T/Es not TELs. It`s the same truck for the Hwasong 14 but with a new cab, an extra axle and another arm for erecting the missile. I dont know if they still get those trucks from China or if they can produce the trucks themselves or if they only get some parts of it. They appear to highly value those trucks, because they dont use them as TELs but only as T/Es so if the missile goes kablooie the truck is atleast safe. The missile is maybe their successor to the Hwasong 14. Maybe its the Hwasong 14 competitor. We dont know the exact status of their missile development only that its their number one priority and that they have multiple different missile programs running. It uses no verniers and has two instead of one nozzle. So they have 2 engines that can steer themselves via the gimbaled noozles. The second stage is also bigger than the Hwasong 14 it has probably 4 R-27 instead of the 2 before that. But that is speculation what type of engine they use or how many. Esp. the engines of the second stage because you dont see the nozzles. So you could say the Soviet union and China helped the DPRK but the R-27 sale is 25 years back and the Lumber Truck sale happened in 2012 or even earlier. The biggest leap they got probably form their ability to produce isogrid airframes. And who sold them those Machining tools is unknown. Maybe China.

LoooSeR Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 17 hours ago, Willy Brandt said: Not those super heavy Chinese import lumber trucks. But those are only used for the Hwasong 14 and 15. For the other shorter range one i am not so sure which one they use i think some Belarussian ones. one of last Hwasong-14 launches were made from that truck. IIRC I even posted Yuri Lyamin's article in this thread that noted changes in how they were launching Hwasong-14 and this chages he interpreted as increase in missile reliability.

LoooSeR Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Listening this podcast (?) called "How to stop being afraid and fall in love with a nuclear bomb" about North Korean nuclear weapons programm. It is in Russian (kek), but pretty detailed breakdown of what is known about Best Korean nuclear weapons development. North Koreans managed to get to better levels than Indians achieved. They used crazy mix of tech, but most of it is "Western". Soviets were very strict about providing NK with nuclear material, especially after NK engineers started to increase power output of Soviet-provided reactors. NK were sending people to USSR to sniff out info, they were aggressive enough that there were cases when those guys were caught and sended back. Overal their weapons are mix of end of 50s and 70s tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoooSeR Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Best Koreans launched new ICBM - Pukkykson-3 https://imp-navigator.livejournal.com/860221.html Quote According to South Korean data, the new missile flew about 450 km during the test on October 2, 2019, reaching a maximum height of 910 km. Thus, when launched at maximum range, a new missile can estimatedly fly more than 2,000 km. This is the third rocket from the Pukkykson line of solid-fuel rockets, the name of which means “Polar Star” in translation. Pukkykson-1 was the first North Korean ballistic missile missile for submarines, and the Pukkykson-2 created on its basis was also the first North Korean solid-propellant land-based ballistic missile. Perhaps one can expect that the Koreans can also create a new ground-based missile system on the basis of the Pukkykson-3. Spoiler Camera on the missle was mounted Quote The DPRK National Defense Academy in the morning of October 2 in the waters of the Wonsan Bay of the Korean East Sea successfully conducted a test launch of a new type of [Pukkykson-3]/Bukgykson-3 ballistic missile from the submarine. /.../ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
