Relatively speaking, the Russians produce 750 missiles, and the Americans 650.There is also an unpleasant nuance the US depends on China for the supply of rare earth metals for these missiles.
Therefore, the question is how many missiles the American defense industry will be able to produce this year.According to a military expert, there is currently no public data on North Korean missiles, but there is already confirmation that the North Korean defense industry operates as a branch of the Russian one.
That is, North Korea manufactures its missiles using materials, technologies, and drawings it receives from Russia.
Why do official reports say Iskander KN23 Because its the same product, manufactured in different parts of the world.
In Russia, its closer to the Urals, in North Korea on the peninsula.
That is, its the same missile, unfortunately.
