Hwasong-11A

Missiles And Guided Munitions

The Hwasong-11A, also known as the KN-23 under United States naming convention, is a North Korean single-stage, solid-fueled short-range ballistic missile. It was unveiled in February 2018 and first test-fired in May 2019, and is the most notable variant of the Hwasong-11 series of solid-fueled short-range ballistic missiles. Its quasi-ballistic trajectory and range of up to 900 kilometers are believed by analysts to allow it to penetrate South Korean missile defenses, and it can be launched from road-mobile platforms, railway cars, or silos. Variants include a larger-warhead version, a smaller version, and an underwater-launched version, and the missile has reportedly been used by Russian forces during the Russo-Ukrainian war.
