The KN-06 (Korean: 번개 5호; MR: Pon'gae-5) is a North Korean surface-to-air missile system. The system 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 in diameter, but shorter than the S-300's missiles. The missiles are mounted on locally produced, stretched 6X6 KamAZ 55111 (Taebaeksan 96)[2] launcher trucks, with each holding three missile tubes. The KN-06 is reportedly capable of hitting targets 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 was 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]

As many as 156 KN-06 launchers could be operational according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.[8]

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.
