The KN-06 (Chosŏn'gŭl:번개 5호, Pon'gae-5) is a North Korean surface-to-air missile system and was first shown publicly at the 65th anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea on October 10, 2010.^[1]

Design

The KN-06 is a long-range SAM that bears resemblance to the Russian S-300 and Chinese FT-2000. Imagery of missile launch tubes shows they are larger but shorter than the S-300's missiles, with each locally produced, stretched 6X6 KamAZ 55111 (Taebaeksan 96)^[2] launcher truck holding two or three. The KN-06 is apparently capable of hitting targets minimum up to 150 kilometres (93 mi) away. The system is equipped with a Flap Lid type phased array radar.

Development

A test launch occurred in June 2011.^[3]^[4] Another test launch, attended by Kim Jong-Un was reported on 2 April 2016.^[1] As of May 2017, it is reportedly still undergoing testing.^[5]

Deployment

The system underwent final testing on May 28 2017 with KCNA reporting that 'glitches' previously identified during testing had been resolved. It said the new system would be mass produced and deployed across the country.^[6]^[7]

North Korea is still testing its new KN-06 air defense system, a reasonably modern design roughly on par with the Russian S-300. When North Korea eventually introduces the KN-06, Sohae may host a few of its own, perhaps on Islands A, C, or E. |access-date= requires |url= (help)
