Chapter 476: North Korea's Ballistic Missiles

For the Soviet Union, the Scud missile was only a technology in the fifties, and it can even be extrapolated that the missile technology obtained from Germany at the end of World War II was completely eliminated, but the elimination of the Soviet Union does not mean that this weapon can spread at will!

A distinctive characteristic of ballistic missiles is that the offensive and defensive investment is disproportionate, and the speed of ballistic missiles is fast and difficult to intercept; if 100 million is invested in the study of missiles, then at least 1 billion must be invested in the development of how to intercept them! In later generations, the ballistic missile defense program that the United States spent a huge amount of money to come up with, it was very difficult to intercept missiles with known ballistic trajectories, and it was even more difficult to intercept unknown missiles. As for the attacker, as long as the direction of the missile is changed during re-entry, that is, the trajectory is changed during re-entry, the interceptor missile can lose its target.

That's the afterlife! And now, it is even more difficult to intercept ballistic missiles, even if it is a Scud missile, it is not something that divisional units can intercept!

The North Koreans, who are simply challenging the Soviet counter-scales, have already made the USSR extremely angry by exporting tanks to the Iranians, and now, they are secretly exporting ballistic missiles to Iran!

There are many statements in history about North Korea's ballistic missiles, and some even say that the Soviet Union exported Scud missiles to North Korea, which is the beginning of North Korea's ballistic missile industry, but of course this is extremely wrong, you know, North Korea is bent on developing its military strength, and it has no determination to develop its economy at all, and North Korea's economy is extremely backward, and it is simply unable to pay for ballistic missiles like the Soviet Union!

North Korea will only want, food, weapons! In the past, North Korea was also a bridgehead in the struggle between the East and the West, and the Soviet Union supported it for its own strategy, but now? In the strategic layout of the Soviet Union, the DPRK is already regarded as an outcast, and it does not have much effect, and it is simply impossible for the Soviet Union to export such a large-scale weapon of destruction as Scud missiles to the DPRK.

Moreover, even in the past, that is, after the 60s, the DPRK was in a vain attempt to play with the Soviet Union in a vain attempt to play with the Soviet Union and applaud it, so the Soviet Union was very wary of the DPRK, and this was not an obedient little brother at all!

Export to Iraq, that's because Iraq has money! Exports to Egypt, Syria, so that they can fight Israel!

The DPRK's determination to develop its own ballistic missile industry has never changed, and the DPRK's ballistic missiles were obtained from Egypt.

After the end of the "Six-Day War", Egypt, which was holding back its anger at that time, was very dissatisfied with the "inaction" of the Soviet Union at that time, and the relationship between Egypt and the Soviet Union became worse and worse, but Egypt's development could not be separated from the help of the Soviet Union, so Egypt, which was self-reliant, decided to ask North Korea for help. The North Korean side also hopes to train pilots through actual combat, and the two sides hit it off.

As a result, North Korea sent a large number of outstanding volunteer pilots to Egypt and participated in the "Yom Kippur War". In this war, the pilots of the DPRK Air Force fought bravely and helped the Egyptian brothers to breathe a big sigh of evil. As a result, Egypt's relations with North Korea skyrocketed, and Mubarak established a deep friendship with Kim Il Sung.

At this time, North Korea revealed its desire to obtain Scud missiles, and Egypt transferred two R-17E, namely Scud-B missiles and 9P117 launchers, to North Korea without saying a word. These weapons were all supplied by the Soviet Union to Egypt in those years.

Transported back to Nampo Port by North Korean freighter and entered the "January 25 Machinery Factory" in Pyongyang, that is, the "Pyongyang Pig Factory" under the Second Economic Committee, the North Koreans began to imitate them, and North Korea's efforts to obtain ballistic missiles finally became a reality.

After two years of hard work, North Korea's first batch of domestically produced "Scud" missiles were successfully copied in 1975 and named "Hwaseong"-1. Hwaseong is a county in North Hamgyong Province, North Korea, and because it does not know the specific model and title of the DPRK missile, it is named according to the convention, that is, the name of the area where a certain type of missile first appeared.

This earliest Hwaseong-1 missile, almost identical to its prototype Scud B missile, has a total length of 11.37 m, a diameter of 0.88 m, a launch mass of 5.9 tons, a maximum range of 300 km, and uses TM185 kerosene/red smoke nitric acid propellant. Due to the lack of a high-precision inertial navigation system, the circumferential error of such a missile is quite large, exceeding a thousand meters.

In history, another development of North Korea's ballistic missiles came from the Iran-Iraq war, when Iraq's Scud missiles were raging on Iran's territory, and Iran urgently needed the same weapons, so Iran reached an agreement with North Korea to import Hwaseong-1 tactical missiles, so that North Korea's ballistic missile industry finally ushered in a benign development, and used North Korea's funds to continuously improve their weapons! As a result, the new "Hwaseong"-3/4 and "Hwaseong"-5/6, began to appear in the North Korean ballistic missile sequence, and the range was increased to 500km.

Moreover, on the basis of these experiences, the DPRK's new labor ballistic missile has also entered rapid development.

For North Korea, if they want to develop ballistic missiles, they need to find a financier, and for Iran, if they want to win the Iran-Iraq war, they need to introduce new weapons, and the two sides almost hit it off.

Even now, with Andre's crossing, the situation has changed a lot, and this result will still not change.

The North Koreans and the Iranians came together, but this coming together has seriously damaged the interests of the USSR! The tanks that North Korea exported to Iran almost pushed the 105th Airborne Division into a corner, and now, once the North Korean ballistic missiles appear in the hands of the Iranians, they will bring casualties to the Soviet army!

Fortunately, the North Koreans and Iranians did not move as fast as their own, and they certainly did not anticipate the Soviet attack, so the ballistic missiles transported by these cargo ships were captured by the Soviet troops before they could reach the front line!
