DPRK RSTA Hwasong-17
DPRK RSTA · Ballistic · North Korea · Digital Age (2010–present)
The Hwasong-17 is a North Korean two-stage, liquid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile. First unveiled on 10 October 2020 at a military parade, the Japanese Ministry of Defence estimates its operational range at 15,000 km (9,300 mi) or more. Unlike its predecessors, the Hwasong-17 may be capable of carrying multiple warheads. North Korea claimed the Hwasong-17's first successful launch occurred on 24 March 2022. Some Western analysts instead believe the 24 March launch was an earlier missile design, and a later test that took place on 18 November 2022 was the first successful test launch.
