An analogue of the Russian Iskander OTRK, tested in the DPRK, turned out to be more long-range.

As part of the latest missile tests on the territory of the DPRK, the rocket launched by the KN-23 complex was able to cover a distance of at least 690 kilometers, which is more in 1,5 than the range of the Russian Iskander OTRK. Remarkable is the fact that, in reality, the range of a North Korean tactical missile proved to be significantly longer, because at a certain stage of the flight, the South Korean missile defense systems simply lost sight of it, which may indicate the fact that the DPRK was testing a maneuvering missile capable of withstanding anti-missile defense systems .

“Last Thursday, North Korea launched two missiles of the newest missile system from the area of ​​the city of Wonsan on the east coast of the country towards the sea. One of the missiles flew 430 km, the second - 690 km, and in the final segment of the flight, the South Korean military lost it. At the same time, the opinion was expressed that at the final stage of the flight, the North Korean rocket could perform maneuvers simulating evasion from intercept systems, combining the flight in the horizontal and vertical planes.- said the publication "Military Review"

It should be clarified that according to official data, the Russian Iskander OTRK have a range of 500 kilometers, but the decisive factor here is the Treaty on the Elimination of Medium and Short Range Missiles, if broken, Russia can upgrade its missiles to a range of a thousand or more kilometers.
