KN-23 Tochka/Iskander-Type TBM

The KN-23 is North Korea's most advanced short-range tactical ballistic missile, bearing strong visual and performance similarities to the Russian Iskander-M. It features a quasi-ballistic maneuvering flight path that makes interception significantly more challenging than conventional ballistic missiles. With a range of approximately 700 km and a maneuvering reentry vehicle, it is specifically designed to defeat PAC-3 and THAAD terminal defense systems. The system can carry conventional or reportedly nuclear warheads and is deployed on mobile road-mobile launchers.
