North Korea’s new frigates continue to attract attention from North Korea watchers, including us, and it appears that new information about the cruise missile options available for these frigates has become available. Joseph Bermudez has suggested a possible Chinese C-802 or Iranian Ghader cruise missile upgrade for the frigates in the future, and posted two images of the frigates that do not clearly reveal any present cruise missile tubes yet installed.
The Chosun Ilbo ran an article on June 9 stating that the Korean People’s Army Navy had acquired and showed off via propaganda videos Kh-35 cruise missiles, Russian-designed missiles also sold to and built by countries such as Vietnam and Myanmar.
