The new North Korean train-mounted missile system contains ballistic missiles wich range is about 800 kilometers. This is the thing that is told about those missiles. And there is a couple of things that we should know about those probably nuclear-capable systems.
If we are thinking that those missiles cannot be sharp we are wrong. Even the primitive weapon systems can be accurate. During WWII were plans to use hidden radio transmitters to aim the primitive cruise missiles. The idea was that agents were put the transmitters to target. And then the primitive missiles like V-1 or V-2, or radio-controlled B-17 bombers that carried internal warheads would fly to the target.
There is the possibility that the North Korean nuclear weapons are using the guidance system which bases the radio transmitters that are left near the target area. The idea is that this system can activate just before the attack. And then the missile can hit the target with very high accuracy. The ECM system can jam the signal. But the operators must know the frequency for counteractions.
In those systems, the agents are leaving the transmitter in the target area. This type of radio transmitter can be activated by radio signals transmitted by the radio system on the homing head of missiles. When the radio signal hits the targeting transmitter, that thing starts to send the aiming signal to the missile.
The Israeli air force used this type of targeting system in operation "Opera" for targeting its weapons. "Operation Opera" was an Israeli long-range air-strike the Iraqi nuclear reactor in the year 1981. In that strike, an Israeli agent put a little radio transmitter in the reactor room. And then that system sends the signal to aim missiles at the reactor. In that strike, the aircraft activated the aiming system by using the wake-up signal from the radar. And then the weapons flew to that signal.
In the modern versions, the mobile telephone can use in this type of aiming system. The idea is that this type of system can use without the GPS. To the battlefield would put quadcopters that are equipped with led-lights or radio transmitters. And then the attack aircraft will shoot homing projectiles that are using those systems for aiming themselves.
I other versions agent or quadcopter will put the mobile telephone on the target, and then the nuclear missile would aim to that point. The thing that makes this type of system very hard to detect is that the tracking signal can activate just before the strike is coming. The activator can be at the nose of an incoming missile. In this case, the missile must know only about the location of the transmitter. It can fly by using an inertial navigation system. When it would turn to return trajectory the radio system activates the aiming transmitter.
