In many people's impression, North Korea's closed nature is very strong, military development is not transparent enough, but in fact, on the contrary, North Korea's military transparency is much higher than South Korea, such as the recently publicly unveiled 841 "Kim Junyu Hero" tactical nuclear attack submarine, in addition to photos, the past two days have exposed the whole process of launching video, even the interior of the plant and aerial footage.

Aerial footage also came
You know, although the 841 "Kim Junyu Hero" is only a conventionally powered submarine equipped with submarine-launched ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, in North Korea, it is actually equivalent to a strategic nuclear submarine, is a national heavy weapon, can be completely secret, but North Korea not only made it public, but also various angles, scenes and details of high-definition pictures have been broadcast, not only deterrence, but also a high degree of confidence.
On the contrary, we look at South Korea, the submarine "Dosan Anchanghao", which is similar to the "Kim Junyu Hero", has been in service for several years, but so far few photos have been made public, let alone videos, and they are tightly covered. Even if there are some pictures later, the clarity is not high, let alone the missile silo hatch is displayed, let alone the details, it is really "without contrast, there is no truth."
South Korean submarine "Dosan Ahn Chang-ho"
Back then, the warships of various countries that came to Qingdao to participate in the maritime parade were even made public, only South Korean frigates were not allowed to board ships, and some non-critical parts were not even allowed to take pictures, which is in sharp contrast to the openness and transparency of various countries. The most bizarre thing is that the performance of this type of frigate has lagged behind for decades, but it does not dare to be open and transparent, and South Korea's lack of confidence in military development can be seen.

From a technical point of view, North Korea's tactical nuclear attack submarine and South Korea's "Dosan Ahn Changho" have many similarities, such as displacement of more than 3,000 tons, both equipped with submarine-launched ballistic missiles, one is 4 large and 6 small, the other is 6, the number difference is not much. But North Korea's is Polaris 4/5, with a range of 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers, while South Korea's is "Basalt"-2B, with a range of only three or four hundred kilometers, a huge gap. The most important thing is that North Korea's tactical nuclear attack submarines can carry nuclear weapons, while South Korea's "Basalt"-2B submarine-launched missiles, which only have conventional strike capabilities, even hesitate to split the bamboo in two in advance in order to emphasize accuracy, and then perform a hundred miles through Yang's divine drama.
South Korea's ballistic missiles split the bamboo pole in two, and the fakes are too obvious
The development routes of conventional ballistic missile submarines of the two countries are also quite similar, combining the introduction of foreign technology and domestic innovation. According to outside speculation, the North Korean "Kim Jun Yu Hero" may be developed on the basis of the Golf and 033 submarines, borrowing from the design of strategic nuclear submarines, and arranging a huge turtle back behind the conning tower enclosure to accommodate 4 large and 6 small submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

Conjecture on the missile arrangement of North Korea's tactical nuclear attack submarines
The South Korean "Dosan Anchanghao" is developed on the basis of the German 209 and 212 submarines, and at the same time borrows the design of the US "Ohio" class strategic nuclear submarine, and arranges six "Basalt"-2B submarine-launched ballistic missile silos in the middle and rear of the hull. On the surface, South Korea's design is more sophisticated, maintaining the submarine's streamlined and quiet performance, but the price behind it is that the range of the missile is only three to four hundred kilometers, which is about a fraction of North Korea's.
This should be a South Korean submarine
Of course, in addition to missiles, North Korea's tactical nuclear attack submarines have many designs that keep up with the times, such as the streamlined modification of the conning tower enclosure and the junction of the hull, which is quite like the 212 submarine. In recent years, North Korea has brought us a lot of surprises, has got rid of the overall situation of military backwardness, many weapons are eye-catching, and perhaps there are bigger dark horses behind.
