The Korean People's Army has launched a series of large-scale exercises aimed at practicing actions on the use of nuclear weapons in response to military aggression against the country. During the maneuvers, KN-23 short-range ballistic missiles were used, which were used to simulate nuclear strikes on targets located at a distance of up to 800 kilometers.
The KN-23 missile system, designed specifically to defeat tactical and operational targets, is capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. According to analysts, it can also potentially be equipped with chemical weapons delivery systems, which makes it a versatile and dangerous element of the DPRK's strategic forces.
In addition to ballistic missiles, 600-mm multiple launch rocket systems KN-25 took part in the exercises, providing high-density fire support and capable of delivering massive strikes against front-line targets.
Special attention was paid to the testing of a new system called "nuclear trigger" — the mechanism of management and control of North Korea's nuclear arsenal. It is assumed that this system ensures the rapid and coordinated deployment of nuclear forces in the event of a threat from external adversaries.
Such actions by the DPRK demonstrate the growing technological maturity of its military program and efforts to consolidate the status of a nuclear power, despite international sanctions and pressure.
