Technical derivation of labor ballistic missile

Labor ballistic missile "Labor" missile, as the first large-scale self-developed vehicle, brought a lot of much-needed foreign exchange to North Korea, and became the basis of two types of launch vehicles, playing an important role in North Korea's missile and space undertakings.

Technical Prototype of Iranian Meteor 3 Missile Western media reported that Iran imported 12 "Labor" missile in 1996, and started the development of Meteor 3 series missiles based on this prototype. Because Iran's industrial base level is higher than North Korea's, it is. 1In July 1998, the test of Meteor 3 equipped with North Korean engine was completed, and in 2000, the test of assembling all the independent components of Meteor 3 was completed. Judging from the photos displayed in Iran, Meteor 3 uses a commercial chassis-towed trailer, not an integrated chassis of North Korea. Although the cross-country ability is not as good as "labor", Iran's land is not as mountainous as North Korea's, and its transportation infrastructure is more developed than North Korea's. Therefore, this scaled-down car is not only low in cost, but also meets the needs of Iran.

In July 2003, Iran's "Meteor 3" officially entered service and established a complete production system. Iranian engineers improved the local adaptability of Meteor 3 and developed a new type of Meteor 3B missile. Its external dimensions are quite different from those of manpower, but its overall design and shape have not changed fundamentally.

Some people speculate that North Korea's Taepodong 1 (Yinhe 1) missile is actually a combination of Laodong missile and Scud C. After measuring the photos launched by Yinhe 65438+, it is found that the first-stage diameter of Yinhe 1 is "Labor" missile diameter 1.2m, length15.5m; The "Mars" 6 missile has a diameter of 0.88 meters and a length of 10.2 meters ... which are basically the same.

By measuring the photos of the "Yinhe" 2 rocket, it can be known that the first stage of "Yinhe" 2 has a diameter of 2.4 meters and a length of 16.8 meters. A long time ago, some experts thought that the "Yinhe" 2 rocket used four "labor" missiles for lateral binding. In terms of overall dimensions, the "Labor" missile has a diameter of1.25m and a length of15m. If four beams are used, the diameter and length are basically consistent with the data of "Yinhe" 2, and the difference in total length may be caused by measurement error or redundancy of rocket connecting parts. It is likely that the four bundled rocket engines share a fuel tank.
