DPRK leader Kim Jong -in personally inspected the aircraft and emphasized its importance for the country's defense capability. The DVU aircraft was created on the basis of the Russian transporter IL-76, it is intended for exploration and monitoring of airspace in flight. The ship is painted in two colors-white and gray, without distinctive signs and largely similar to Russian A-50 and Chinese KJ-2000 Mainring. Unlike A-50 and KJ-2000, the DPRK plane has no antennas yet, says The War Zone.
The photo inside the aircraft shows at least seven separate workstations and flat screen monitors on the interior walls. Onboard radars track goals at a long distance, which can provide a warning about the potential attack of South Korea, experts indicate. "The planes will be traced and the rockets in the initial phase of the conflict will be traced. The collected data will be transmitted to the lands of the Earth-Air class operators to help improve their operations," the authors say.
"The ability of the Dwar plane to look down softens some problems associated with the terrain and reflections from the Earth, while tracking aircraft flying low and cruise missiles," the report reads. At the same time, the North Korean aircraft will be the main goal for South Korea and the United States in the event of a possible start of military conflict. In view of this, its role in wartime can be very short -lived.
