The Missile Administration of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea successfully conducted the separation and guided control test of individual mobile warheads on June 26, which is of great significance in attaining the goal of upgrading the missile technologies.

The test was overseen by Pak Jong Chon, vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers’ Party of Korea and secretary of the WPK Central Committee, and Kim Jong Sik, first deputy department director of the WPK Central Committee.

The test was carried out by using the first-stage engine of an intermediate-range solid-fueled ballistic missile within a 170 to 200 km radius, which is favourable for ensuring maximum safety and measuring the flight characteristics of individual mobile warheads.

The separated mobile warheads were guided correctly to the three coordinate targets.

The effectiveness of a decoy separated from the missile was also verified by anti-air radars.

The test is aimed at securing the multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV) capability.

The test is part of the normal activities of the Missile Administration of the DPRK and its affiliated defence science institutes for the technical upgrading of weapon systems.

According to the administration, it is of great significance in bolstering up the DPRK’s missile forces and developing the missile technologies that such technological test has entered a full-scale stage.

The senior officials, who oversaw the test, said that to enhance the MIRV capability is a very important defence technological task and a top priority of the WPK Central Committee, stressing the need to take proper scientific and technological steps to further improve the effectiveness of the decoy.
