Analyst of the Institute of World Politics Nikolai Beleskov believes that the launch of a new ballistic missile in the DPRK was unique.

Such a statement he made on the air of "Gromadskogo radio".

"As those technical and tactical characteristics that have been demonstrated dominate even the medium-range missile" Sudan ". Since Sudan has 3,4 thousand kilometers. This missile was specially launched up and it flew just 700 meters. But in terms of the normal trajectory - this is about 4,5 thousand kilometers. Rockets of this range North Korea already experienced, but it was not a military missile. This missile is most likely a military one, "he said..

According to Beleskov, this is yet another proof that they are rapidly approaching the test of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

Besides, he says, the missile that was tested on May 13 was a mystery to specialists.

"They need to find out what it was. But, perhaps, in this improved technical and tactical characteristics, "- said Beleskov.

As the Observer reported, North Korea confirmed the test of a medium-range ballistic missile of the earth-to-ground type and stated that the launch was successful.
