Reports credit North Korea’s newest missile of terror with 2.5-ton warhead and 900-km range. Expert explains why those numbers can’t both be true
Russia may receive up to 150 North Korean missiles, including the KN-30.
North Korean missile KN-30 reportedly carries a 2.5-ton warhead and possesses a 900-kilometer range, as reported by wire services. However, military expert Serhii Zghurets of Defense Express cautions that these claims cannot both be accurate simultaneously, as they contradict fundamental principles of physics. Zghurets explained that if the KN-30 can reach a 900-kilometer range, it would likely have a smaller warhead, whereas a 2.5-ton warhead would lead to a significantly shorter range.
Despite this discrepancy, the missile's capabilities are still alarming due to its potential for widespread destruction. Russia may soon receive around 150 additional KN-30 missiles from North Korea, intensifying the tension between the two nations and amplifying the threat to civilians. The inaccuracy of these missiles, which can deviate from their target by up to 18 kilometers, renders them ineffective for military precision but ensures a degree of terror as they can strike anywhere within a 18-kilometer radius of their intended target.
