The White House said that Russia has already used ballistic missiles received from the DPRK. There was also information that these were improved analogues of the Iskander. But this is difficult to confirm for now. Aviation officer told Channel 24 about this expert Bogdan Dolintse, noting that in terms of sound characteristics, ballistic missiles from the DPRK actually have better characteristics than Iskander. However, you need to be aware that it is not known whether the stated characteristics correspond to reality. Only after some time will it become clear what to expect from these missiles. As Dolince noted, it is important to remember that these missiles are ballistic. They fly at a huge altitude, so it can only be shot down at the moment when it is already falling on the target. Most air defense systems do not have significant headroom for counteraction. Basic systems can be destroyed at an altitude of 3–4 km. More serious – from 10 to 20. The most modern ones can destroy missiles at an altitude of up to 40 kilometers. A ballistic missile flies primarily at an altitude of several hundred kilometers,” Dolince said. Although there are systems in the world that can hit targets in outer space. There was even information that Israel was able to shoot down such a target several months ago. Ukraine does not yet have such systems. If we get them in the future, the effectiveness of destroying ballistic targets will be even higher.Is it realistic to shoot down Korean air defense missiles
