ОБЗОР СИСТЕМЫ

North Korea uniquely employs the Antonov An-2 biplane as a special operations infiltration platform, maintaining one of the world's largest An-2 fleets. The aircraft's extremely low speed and altitude flight profile makes it difficult to detect on radar. North Korea reportedly uses these aircraft to insert special forces behind enemy lines, exploiting their ability to operate from unprepared short strips. In wartime, thousands of special forces infiltrators could be deployed using this ancient but tactically relevant platform.

Sustained supersonic cruise changes the engagement timeline fundamentally — defenders have less decision time.
