Probably in 24 hours KCNA releases images, KCTV recording.

Unfortunately, no equipment shown.

Unfortunately, no equipment shown.

Nothing new besides reel of having underwater handgun SPP-1M.

I guess we will have to wait for 2028/2030.

Flying a single range-extension maneuver and using some of the lift to turn allows the missile to reach a target that is 580 km down-range and displaced by 175 km in the cross-range (horizontal) direction (i.e. to the side of the ballistic trajectory). If the missile uses most of its lift to turn, it can even turn back (hitting a target at cross-range distance of 100 km). While such maneuvers cause the missile to lose velocity, an interceptor may not be able to match them. Furthermore, based on the KN-23’s initial ballistic trajectory, an air-defense unit, such as a Patriot unit, may expect the missile to land outside of its defended area and therefore not attempt an interception, to preserve scarce and expensive interceptors. However, by maneuvering, the KN-23 may fly into the defended area and pose a threat after all, but too late for the air defense unit to react.

Does North Korea really have no intention of equipping it with a better surface-search radar?

Choe Hyun is a good looking ship.

Does North Korea really have no intention of equipping it with a better surface-search radar?

Well, isn't that the point of the AESA arrays, they could do everything, surface search, targeting etc.?

 

[Valiant 1002]

I'm primarily referring to its Type 362-like radar, positioned directly below her maritime navigation radar. If I'm not mistaken, it's a surface search radar, right?

For a ship of this top-tier class (seriously), she should be equipped with the Mineral-ME/Type 366 – or anything that more advanced – instead of a radar that's somewhat dated.
