I specifically stated a “new, modern version of the Pershing II”.
Of course I’m not sure how that platform could be improved...8,000 mph, 1 ton payload delivered with a CEP of 30 meters. Solid fuel from a mobile launcher.
1,100 mile range. It get’s to the limit of its range in 10 minutes due to its low apogee.
How much better could you make it?
Simply re-invent it. And give it to South Korea and Japan to produce as many as they want.
SK launched a Hyunmoo-2C from Goseong, 6 minutes after the NK launch.
The missile has fins, like the Pershing II missile, making it able to be terminally guided with an accuracy of potentially 1 to 5 meters.
That means it can penetrate hard targets, such as command and control bunkers....
