(As of December 26, 2025, reports indicate that Russia is preparing to deploy variants of the Hwasal-1 Ra-3, supplied by North Korea, in combat operations in Ukraine. These variants are reported to have a warhead capacity of up to one ton and a range of 130 to 250 kilometers, though the trade-off for increased payload is a reduced range due to fuel capacity limitations.)

(Russian engineers in the past have had to rewire North Korean missiles to make them more accurate. No info available on the price of this cruise missile other than that it is cheap by Russian standards. They could use this 150 KM range, one ton warhead variant to replace Glide bombs which have at most 95 Km range, with payloads of 550, 1,100, 2,200, 3,300 and 6,600 pound payloads.)

(IT IS A GAME CHANGER.)
