.
.
North Korea has become the largest supplier of
different types of ballistic missiles to various
developing countries, according to Defense
Aerospace, with reference to a report by research
company Forecast International. In the period
from 1987 to 2009, North Korea has exported
1200 missiles, representing about 40 percent of
this market segment weapons. For comparison,
the direct competitors in the market of ballistic
missiles to the developing countries - Russia and
China - have managed to export only 400 and
270 missiles, respectively.
The largest buyers of North Korean ballistic
missiles were Egypt, Syria, Libya, Yemen, United
Arab Emirates and Pakistan. About what exactly
rocket in question was not specified. At present,
the DPRK made a short-range ballistic missiles,
KN-2, Hwasong-5 and Hwasong-6, medium-
range Nodong-1, Nodong-2, Taepodong-1 and
Musudan. It is known that in 1985 Iran had
acquired one hundred missiles Hwasong-5 for $
500 million. Later, on the basis of this missile Iran
has developed its own Shahab-1.
As noted by Forecast International, with 1994
exports of North Korean ballistic missiles began to
fall sharply. The main reason for this was the end
of the Iran-Iraq war and the deployment of U.S.
military operations in Iraq. In addition, many
countries - the buyers of North Korean weapons
began to open its own production line of ballistic
missiles. As a result, North Korea increased its
exports of components and materials for the
production of ballistic missiles. In parallel, with the
demand for fire doors of high quality.
According to the Stockholm International Peace
Research Institute (SIPRI), in the period from 1987
to 2009 the volume of North Korea's arms
exports amounted to $ 1.7 billion. Greatest
demand different types of North Korean missiles
and surface ships, with the peak demand for the
last occurred in 2002-2004, when it had exported
