The Russian Federation has already used the DPRK missiles in Ukraine twice - Defense Express (video)

According to him, the rockets of production of the DPRK of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have already been beat in the territory of Ukraine at least twice. One of these missiles fell near Zaporozhye and the other was used in the Kharkiv direction. "Now, as far as I understand, it is difficult for experts to establish the exact type of missiles. However, everything indicates that it can be KN-23 missiles," Valery Ryabikh said.

Defense Express previously reported that the ballistic missiles from the DPRK were used by the Russian Federation during large -scale attacks on December 29, 2023 in the direction of Zaporozhye and January 2, 2024 in Kharkiv. "Analysis of the fragments of the rocket itself is still ongoing, but preliminary findings show much smaller consequences of the explosion than was to be caused by KN-23, which is estimated to have a fighting part of 500 kg.

From the Defense Express, it should be noted that if KN- was used in Zaporizhzhia 23, then the question arises as to the accuracy, because it just fell in the field, " - said in the message. Due to the absolutely closed DPRK, a little is known about KN-23.

Experts suggest that it may have the following data: "At the same time, there is a reasonable opinion that the appearance of KN-23 is related to the production of technologies from the Russian Federation, because a number of solutions KN-23 are similar flight with a apogee up to 60 km at a distance of 240 km and a stable 50 km at a range of 420, 430 and 690 km. engine snot, " - said Defense Express experts.

There is no data on the number of these missiles in the DPRK and the pace of their production because of the country's closedness. "At the same time, low accuracy and perhaps low invalidity KN-23, most likely, will lead to its use of the Russian Federation solely for the purpose of blows to cities. As for the interception of this rocket, it is possible SPR with the possibility of anti-missile defense, such as Patrio Pac 3 and SAMP /T ", - experts suggest.

We will remind that the military expert Alexander Kovalenko also suggested that the ballistic missiles that Russia received from North Korea was probably hit on Kharkiv on January 2. And it is about KN-23 ballistic missiles (Hwasong-11GA). On January 5, the chairman of the Kharkiv Ova Oleg Synigubov reported that on January 2, 2024, Russia fired Kharkiv with rockets not of its own production, the marking of which was erased.
