Russia bombards with 36 missiles! First confirmation of North Korean KN-23; Ukraine air defense only intercepted 4 ZH俄羅斯狂轟36彈!首證實北韓KN-23 烏克蘭防空僅攔截到4枚
Newtalk新聞 烏克蘭總統澤連斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy) 7 日表示,根據初步調查數據,俄羅斯於前一日夜間對烏克蘭境內的關鍵能源設施發動大規模襲擊,並在此次行動中使用了北韓製造的 KN-23 彈道飛彈。澤連斯基在召開損害評估與搶修會議後指出,俄軍整夜共發射 36 枚彈道飛彈以及 172 架無人機,然而烏克蘭防空系統僅成功攔截其中 4 枚飛彈,且所有飛彈目標皆直指基輔及其周邊地區。 據軍事媒體《Defence Blog》報導, KN-23 飛彈在北韓被稱為「火星 -11A 」(Hwasong-11A),是一款可透過機動發射車發射的短程固體燃料彈道飛彈。該飛彈具備低空扁平飛行軌跡與飛行中機動能力,比傳統彈道飛彈更難追蹤與攔截,烏克蘭國防部亦曾形容該型武器極難應對。 報導稱,俄羅斯自 2024 年初開始對烏射擊 KN-23 飛彈,雖然早期精準度較差,但烏方官員指出,在根據實戰數據進行調整後,其精準度已顯著提升。據了解,北韓自 2023 年起持續向俄羅斯提供彈道飛彈、砲彈及兵力,且在短暫停頓後已恢復飛彈輸送。 基輔市區多處建築遭飛彈擊毀。 圖:翻攝自 X @NOELreports 《Defence Blog》指出,俄軍本次夜襲造成基輔連通羅夫諾與赫梅利尼茨基核電廠的變電所受損,賓尼沙、日托米爾、哈爾科夫及第聶伯羅彼得羅夫斯克等地的變電所亦遭受破壞。基輔市長克里契科(Vitali …
