The KN-19 Kumsong-3 is a North Korean surface-to-surface anti-ship cruise missile. The technology is based on the Russian Kh-35. The missile is ground- or sea-launched.
First propaganda videos were released in 2014. A flight test happened in 2015. Missiles and a mobile launcher were presented in 2017.[1]
The missile is similar to a Russian Kh-35 subsonic anti-ship cruise missile. The range is not known, but is likely around 130–250 km.[2] A main difference to the Kh-35 missile is the KN-19's mobile launcher with four canisters.[3] The launcher was developed in North Korea.[4] The system is lacking over-the-horizon radar capability.[5]
