Ukrainian sources say the North Korean tactical ballistic missile Hwasong‑Po‑11Ga, known as the KN‑23, has reached a circular error probable of 1 to 5 metres. If verified, the missile would have shifted from a relatively new tactical system to a highly precise strike weapon, offering improved terminal‑phase maneuverability, reliability and higher success rates. Experts suggest the accuracy gain could stem from upgraded satellite guidance, inertial navigation, software refinements and better mass‑production quality. The KN‑23, which resembles Russia’s Iskander‑M and has been used by Moscow in the Ukraine war, can perform evasive maneuvers to complicate air‑defence tracking. Independent confirmation of the claimed precision is still lacking, but confirmation would place the KN‑23 among the world’s most accurate tactical ballistic missiles.
