North Korea has developed a new type of weapon that experts identified as a nearby air defense system.
In the DPRK demonstrated the development of their air defense systems / collage of UNIAN, photo Wikipedia, Defense BlogA new anti -aircraft missile complex on the caterpillar chassis was shown at the Arms Exhibition in North Korea. According to the militaristic portal, the SPR is similar to the Russian “shell”.
A model of equipment was shown at the Defense Development 2025 exhibition, where DPRK leader Kim Jong -in performed. Judging by the photos published by Defense Blog, the new anti -aircraft complex is built on an octagonal caterpillar chassis.
“There are few such platforms in North Korea, so the chassis is probably used from existing samples – in particular, the PUKGUKGUKOG -2 ballistic complex,” the journalists said.
They also suggested that the developers took the elongated chassis of self-propelled artillery installations M-1989, Juche 107 or similar systems.
It is noted that the front of the combat vehicle is a crew cabin, where there is probably a driver, commander, operator and gunner. In the central part, an anti-aircraft missile module with six transport and public containers on each side is mounted-a total of 12 missiles.
It is assumed that each block can move vertically by analogy with Russian “shell-C1”. At the same time, the system, at least visually, is not equipped with cannon weapons, the authors said.
In the back of the module there is a radar station of detection and targeting of an unspecified type, which has a hydraulic mechanism for transfer to a derivative state. In the front, there is probably a radar support of the goals, although it is not visible in the released images. In addition, the module roof is a noticeable element, similar to an electronic-optical station.
Analytics said at the installation, you can see an anti -aircraft missile that looks like 9M335. They conclude that the sample presented is a complex of army air defense of near action.
Defense Development-2025 Military Engineering Exhibition-What is knownAccording to UNIAN, at the DPRK exhibition showed samples of the defense industry. Several missile panels were exhibited there, including anti -ship and winged rockets. The exhibition also showed new samples of firearms and armored vehicles, namely Chkhonma 2 tank. Experts were also interested in an unknown armored personnel carrier.
