The construction of the internal systems of the ship, which is probably a frigate with controlled missiles (FFG), designed to transfer missiles in vertical launchers to use against land and sea purposes, is now ongoing. "FFG has a length of about 140 meters, making it the largest warship made in North Korea," - said in the analysis of the Center for Strategic and International Research.
The publication notes that Pyongyang builds a ship despite the sanctions of the UN, which strictly restrict the country's access to materials and technologies. They do not rule out that it is Russia who helps the DPRK to bypass sanctions. The South Korean Admiral in Kim Duk Ki believes that Moscow can provide technology for Fregate missile systems.
The pictures show that a warship can have weapons that modern naval forces have, including vertical launch chambers that can be used for firing different missiles. It is not excluded that it is set to a radar with a phased lattice, which can track threats and goals faster and more precisely than the possibilities of the DPRK have been shown earlier.
