Notes:
1. Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine
2. Inhibited Red Fuming Nitric Acid
3. Derived from the SERB SS-N-6, (R-27, R-27K series)
4. Received from Makayev OKB of the former Soviet Union in 1988 -1989.
5. Second or third generation nuclear warhead?
6. No-Dong-B uses a trade off of launch weight increase to obtain the longer
range performance from the R-27, R-27K base line missile design
SL – Sea Level, Vac. Vacuum, Isp. Specific Impulse
* All based on Russian data
** Based on rocket equations derived analysis results.
***Assigned data point based on what North Korea did to gain the higher range
performance and the basic standards used in the field for launch acceleration
g’s (6)
**** Based on released intelligence data
***** Velocity requirement for range performance
