The rise and rise of North Korea's ICBMs

Article Abstract:

North Korea's No-dong program was developed to achieve three primary design objectives. The program aimed to design a ballistic missile that could deliver a 1,000-1,500-kg warhead to a range of 1,000-1,500 kms, to develop a base system that could be used for longer-range ballistic missiles and with the capability to deliver a first-generation nuclear weapon. The Taep'o-dong programs aimed to develop missiles that could deliver a 1,000-1,500-kg warhead to range of up to 6,000 kms.
