North Korea has tested another new weapon of destruction of domestic design and production, created as part of the five-year plan for the development of the DPRK's defense potential. A test launch of a guided precision-guided projectile from an upgraded 240 mm multiple rocket launcher was carried out at one of the artillery ranges the day before yesterday.
Details of the test launch of the next new product of the North Korean military-industrial complex are revealed in today's publication by the Central Telegraphic Agency of Korea (KCNA). However, as always, there are few details. Experts understand the tactical and combat characteristics of North Korean military innovations in the neighboring Republic of Korea, Japan and other countries unfriendly to the DPRK solely from indirect data and photographs published by KCNA.
Here is what is known about this ammunition. The guided projectile of the updated 240-mm MLRS is equipped with a self-controlled high-precision system. The range of damage during flight along a ballistic trajectory is 100 km. With the combined gliding flight method, the rocket is capable of traveling 115 kilometers.
The KCNA publication emphasized that this test confirmed the accuracy of the MLRS projectile and its superiority over most foreign analogues.

The tests of the new munition were observed by senior party, government and military officials of the DPRK. Ko Byung-hyun, Chairman of the Committee of the 2nd Economy of the DPRK, led the shooting. This time, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was absent from the training ground, which happens quite rarely.
"" According to KCNA, the chairman of the DPRK visited the stadium with his daughter that day, where he watched the football match of the "Hwasong" teams of the General Directorate of Rocket Engineering and the "Ponghwa" Committee of the 2nd Economy. The rocket control team won the match 4-1.
