Северные корейцы слабали БРПЛ
Краткое содержание сообщения Джейнс - в КНДР якобы при помощи наших специалистов из Миасса склепали БРПЛ Р-27, а засунуть ее якобы могут в купленные в качестве металолома в начале 90-х списанные подлодки пр 641
Jane's Defence Weekly tomorrow reports exclusively that the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (North Korea - DPRK) is deploying a pair of
new ballistic missile systems.
"Both these new land and sea-based systems appreciably expand the
ballistic missile threat presented by the DPRK," concludes the report.
"The submarine-launched ballistic missile or ship-mounted version of
this new system is potentially the most threatening. It would
fundamentally alter the missile threat posed by the DPRK and could
finally provide its leadership with something that it has long sought to
obtain--the ability to directly threaten the continental US."
Emerging reports assessed by Jane's Defence Weekly show that the first
system is a land-based road-mobile ballistic missile with an estimated
range of 2,500-4,000km. The second is a companion submarine or ship
ballistic missile system with a range of at least 2,500km. Both systems
appear to be based on the decommissioned Soviet R-27 submarine-launched
ballistic missile.
It is unknown if the DPRK has sold, or attempted to sell, this new
system to any of its previous ballistic missile customers. Iran would
appear to be the ideal customer for both the land and sea-based
versions, given its requirement for a system capable of striking Israel
from the security of its own territory. Iran has itself engaged in
research activities relating to the development of a sea-based ballistic
missile capability.
Two key events are responsible for the new development. Firstly, it is
believed that the R-27 technology originated with personnel from the VP
Makeyev Design Bureau in Miass, Russian government. Groups of missile
specialists reportedly travelled to the DPRK after receiving approval.
Secondly, the DPRK gained important knowledge and equipment for naval
ballistic missiles during September 1993, when the Korean People's Navy
signed a contract with the Toen Trading Company of Tokyo to buy 12
decommissioned Russian Foxtrot-class and Golf II-class submarines for
scrap metal. These boats retained significant elements of the R-21
submarine launched missile system, including their launch tubes and
stabilisation subsystems. This technology, in combination with the R-27
design, provided the KPN with elements crucial to the subsequent
development of a submarine or ship-mounted ballistic missile system.
