Kim Yo Jong: enemy detection systems lose North Korean missiles during an undulating trajectory

Enemy detection means are lost by North Korean missiles after the first re-climb when using an undulating flight path, Kim Yo Jong, department head of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, said in a statement released by KCNA.

“Every time the wave-like flight method was used, after the first re-climb the enemy lost the target,” the statement said.

Kim Yo Jong noted that South Korea estimated the range of the launched missile at more than 700 kilometers, while the Japanese Ministry of Defense estimated it at approximately 680 kilometers.

“Interesting numbers,” she noted.

According to Kim Yo Jong, the DPRK has already observed similar cases four times and regards them as confirmation of the peculiarities of the trajectory of its missiles and the limited capabilities of the enemy to detect them.

“Adversaries always make the lame excuse that their detection capabilities are limited by the curvature of the Earth, but in reality this is proof of the excellence of our missiles and itself becomes the most scientific “benchmark” confirming the power and reliability of our weapons system,” she said.

Kim Yo Jong also called for taking into account the speed of the missile, its ability to change its flight path at low altitude, and the DPRK's previously announced use of artificial intelligence.

“In other words, this means that it is virtually impossible to avoid such a strike,” she said.
