KN-24
Definition
A North Korean short-range ballistic missile (SRBM), also designated as Hwasong-11B or Hwasongpho-11Na, developed under the U.S. naming convention KN-24.
A single-stage, solid-fueled tactical ballistic missile first publicly tested in August 2019, capable of quasi-ballistic trajectories.
Notable for its use in recent conflicts, including supplies to Russia for strikes in Ukraine, featuring a diameter of approximately 100 cm and foreign-sourced components in some variants.
Examples
Russia's shopping list just got exotic with a batch of KN-24s, turning budget diplomacy into explosive retail therapy.
The KN-24 zipped across the test range, reminding everyone that North Korea's idea of fast delivery skips the drone.
Engineers marveled at the KN-24's 'unique' design, which somehow blends Soviet nostalgia with 2023 Walmart electronics.
When talks stall, leaders eye the KN-24 silo, because nothing says 'let's negotiate' like a missile with commitment issues.
