North Korean Missiles are falling Apart in the Air or Significantly Off-Target: What is Known About the KN-23 Missiles from the DPRK That Russia Is Shelling Ukrainian Cities With

6.08.2024 – Translated from Ukrainian via Google and OFP

Russian terrorists continue to attack Ukrainian cities with North Korean 
KN-23 ballistic missiles. One of them was used by the enemy during the attack on Kyiv on the night of August 6 – the rocket fell on the outskirts of Brovary. These projectiles very often fall apart in the air or have a significant deviation from the target.

The military portal Defense Express writes about it. It is noted that the found remains of the missile prove that during the last attack on Kyiv, the enemy used the KN-23.

Thanks to sources, the publication received a photo of the wreckage with the characteristic markings for missiles from the DPRK.

This time, a North Korean ballistic missile fell on the outskirts of Brovary in the forest next to the highway. The moment of its fall was caught on video, which has already been widely distributed on the Internet.

It is about 20 km from the place where this rocket fell to the center of Kyiv, and it is unlikely that Brovary itself was the target of the strike, the military portal notes.

The video storyboard from the scene shows the KN-23 falling uncontrollably. Such situations are more than usual for missiles from the DPRK, because about half of them simply fall apart in the air, and those that reach somewhere have more than a significant deviation.

Knowing this property of North Korean missiles, Russia continues to use them, targeting not a specific object, which is practically impossible to do, but a population center in general, in order to cause as much damage and loss as possible. This time, Kyiv was obviously the target.

It will be recalled that the ISW reported that North Korea can increase the volume and assortment of weapons that it supplies to the aggressor country of Russia.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Russian terrorist forces, after a 5-month break, again used a North Korean KN-23 ballistic missile against Ukraine. It happened during the attacks on the night of July 31.

  1. Too bad those junk north korean missiles don’t blow up their operators like the north korean artillery shells enjoy doing.
    The bad news is that despite their worthlessness, they waste Ukraine’s air defense ammo.

  2. Defective junk from the Nork savages is still potentially deadly.
    As I remarked before, putler’s lackeys are much better at helping him murder Ukrainians than Ukraine’s friends are at preventing putler’s genocide.

    • Unfortunately, this is true.
      I always wonder how Biden, Sullivan, Scholz, et al can even sleep at night, knowing that their decisions are allowing missiles and bombs to destroy apartment buildings and hospitals in Ukraine the very moment they are in bed safe and sound.

  3. A commie regime with half assed engineering and quality control tha tis out to lunch…
    What were the odds huh?
