00:00Russia has already imported around two dozen North Korean missiles. This indicates that the
00:05The enemy lacks its own production capabilities. This was stated to Unian by Gennady Hassan.
00:12President of the Ukrainian Association of Pilots and Aircraft Owners and Aviator
00:16Ukrainian. These missiles have been delivered to Rostov. They're already there today. Of course,
00:23There are risks. They vary. Some have a range of 400 kilometers, others a greater one.
00:29But they differ in the power of their warheads. We must understand that there could be
00:34modifications with a more powerful warhead, he stated. He explained that ballistics is any modification with a more powerful warhead.
00:41A physical body that moves along a ballistic trajectory. Therefore, there are
00:47Ballistic missiles and cruise missiles are different things. These are the means by which
00:53in which a missile reaches its target following a ballistic trajectory. There are many types
00:58They are different. They fly at different distances. Unfortunately, those missiles reach Kyiv.
01:04Although they would be 400 kilometers apart, that is, at shorter distances, Hassan pointed out.
01:10As far as we know, the expert continues, there are few of these missiles in Russia. They are delivered
01:17from abroad, which once again demonstrates that the Russians lack domestic production. And they want
01:23Maintain the intensity of the bombing at a high level, taking advantage of the window of
01:28an opportunity presented by the very limited number of anti-missile systems it currently possesses
01:34Ukraine. I'll say cautiously, a couple dozen. Currently, there are a couple dozen in positions.
01:41of launch. But what does a couple dozen mean? It means there could be a serious bombardment.
01:47And we must prepare for it, the expert stressed. He noted that Russia is currently bombing
01:54Kharkiv, Dnieper, Zapurikia and Kyiv, and that these attacks are terrorist in nature, intended to
02:01to cause the greatest possible impact on the psychological state of the Ukrainians and to defeat or
02:06destroy any target. The expert urged Ukrainians not to ignore air raid sirens.
02:12to exercise extreme caution and, as far as possible, to avoid large crowds.
02:18The main thing that will help us survive this is to take extreme care with our lives and the lives of others.
02:24our loved ones, respond to air raid sirens, have first aid kits with us
02:29first aid kits specially prepared for people to carry with them, and most importantly,
02:36Knowing how to use them, Hassan concluded. It should be noted that in Ukrainian public groups
02:42And information has circulated on social media about the delivery of North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles
02:48to the Borones region. Therefore, they could soon be used to attack Ukraine, in particular
02:54the capital. In the standard KN-23, the warhead weight is estimated to be between 500 and 1
03:01000 kilograms,
03:02while in the new version, under the original name Hoasompo-11-Da-4, it is 4,500 kilograms.
03:09The KN-23 missiles are specifically designed to target cities. These missiles are very powerful.
03:17but they are not very accurate, which poses a considerable threat to the civilian population.
03:22The North Korean KN-23 and KN-24 missiles, which Russia uses to attack Ukraine, have reportedly been identified.
03:31They were created using methods from 50 years ago. Russia launched KN-23 and KN-24 missiles against
03:39Ukraine in early 2024. Although these missiles are similar to their Russian counterparts,
03:46They use a less energy-efficient fuel and engines that are 50% larger,
03:52with the same range. North Korea unveiled its KN-23 missile for the first time during a parade
03:59military in 2018. At the time, it was partially compared to the short-range ballistic missile
04:06Russian Iskander-M missile range. A year later, the KN-24 missile was presented, which has certain
04:12similarities with the US tactical ballistic missile Atacms.
