Moving to Hwasong-13

[edit]

In order to be consistent to naming conventions, I proposed to move this article to "Hwasong-13" instead of KN-08. KN-08 is a Western designation applied to the missile, while Hwasong appears to be a local designation and applied to Hwasong-5/6. LionFlyer 04:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Missile canisters

[edit]

The latest parade on April 15, 2017 shows a version of the launcher where the missile is placed in a TOPOL-M type missile canister. Screenshots from a video here. Soon we will likely learn of yet another name for the missile. What ever the name, I think we should keep all these versions in one article. No missile has actually been tested. They all seem to be different developmental stages of a single weapons system. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 08:04, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Arms Control Wonk Podcast

[edit]

The The James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies and others contribute to armscontrolwonk.com. What is important is the apogee and the figures were released by the Norks and are in this podcast along with a lot of fine detail e.g. they have already tested a re-entry vehicle on the ground. Important to note that burning up isn't the biggest reason for failure, it's tumbling after re-entry. They note that there is reputed to be a device that allows the ground crew to choose to destroy the warhead or to simply leave it to explode at the intended height i.e. terror weapon.
