According to Andrij Černjak, a representative of the Ukrainian military intelligence service, a north Korean missile unit comprising approximately 90 personnel is slated for deployment within the Russian region of Voronezh. Černjak stated that Pyongyang has already transferred a new consignment of 40 KN-23 and KN-24 ballistic missiles to Russia. The representative noted that the final details regarding the deployment scale and the total number of missiles will be determined during high-level negotiations scheduled for next month.
The KN-23 and KN-24 missiles are described as having a longer range and the capacity to carry heavier warheads when compared to the Russian Iskander missile. However, military analysts have indicated that these missiles reportedly suffer from lower accuracy rates. Furthermore, Černjak specified that the unit is expected to be equipped with a total complement of 120 North Korean ballistic missiles and six associated launchers.
The information suggests a significant enhancement of military capabilities in the region. While the precise strategic role of this deployed missile unit remains unclear, its reported deployment signals an escalation in military activity involving North Korean assets in the vicinity of Russia.
