This is the outdated Scud-B missile. It can be considered the progenitor of the DPRK’s missile system. It was developed starting in 1976 by disassembling and rebuilding missiles and launch pads provided by the USSR in exchange for Pyongyang’s support of Egypt during the 1973 Yom-Kippur War. The exact year its development was completed is uncertain. It is estimated that mass production and operational deployment of this missile started in 1985. The Scud-B is the starting-point of the DPRK’s missile program.
