NEW ESTIMATES OF NORTH KOREAN MOBILE BALLISTIC MISSILES
Friday, May 17, 2013

NEWTOWN, Conn. - Estimating the size of North Korea's ballistic missile is not an easy task. No official numbers are available. The Institute for Security Studies, which has its headquarters in South Africa, has a new report that claims North Korea has 200 mobile missile launchers. This is double the number of recent estimates by the South Korean government.
North Korea has long been known to operate a Scud ballistic missile regiment with 24 launchers. A further regiment reportedly is operating the Nodong-1, a locally made ballistic missile based on the Scud. This regiment also has 24 launchers. Pyongyang is acquiring Musudan missiles, but the number of mobile launchers was not thought to exceed 10.
New estimates say North Korea has four Scud missile regiments, two Musudan regiments, and two Nodong regiments.
