The KN-06 (Korean: 번개 5호; MR: Pon'gae-5) is a North Korean surface-to-air missile system. The system was first shown publicly at the 65th anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea on October 10, 2010.
History
In March 2010, Kim Jong-Il reportedly visited the Huichon Youth Electrical Complex where he examined KN-06 missiles.
Design
The KN-06 is a long-range SAM that bears resemblance to the Russian S-300 and Chinese FT-2000. Imagery of missile launch tubes shows they are larger in diameter, but shorter than the S-300's missiles. The missiles are mounted on locally produced, stretched 6X6 KamAZ 55111 (Taebaeksan 96) launcher trucks, with each holding three missile tubes. The KN-06 is reportedly capable of hitting targets up to 150 kilometres (93 mi) away. The system is equipped with a Flap Lid type phased array radar.
= Development
=A test launch occurred in June 2011. Another test launch, attended by Kim Jong-Un was reported on 2 April 2016. As of May 2017, it was reportedly still undergoing testing.
= Deployment
=The system underwent final testing on May 28, 2017, with KCNA reporting that 'glitches' previously identified during testing had been resolved. It said the new system would be mass-produced and deployed across the country.
As many as 156 KN-06 launchers could be operational according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
