List of Menghean missiles

Below is a list of missiles which were given domestic designations in Menghe between 1964 and the present. Most of the missiles in this list were designed in part or in full in Menghe, but some are domestic designations given to imported or license-produced foreign weapons, especially in the early years of the Democratic People's Republic of Menghe.

Overview

In the Menghean military designation system, missiles all bear three-letter abbreviations, starting with the letter "Y" (from Menghean 유도탄 / 誘導彈, Yudotan meaning "missile"). The next two letters in the series denote its role, i.e. YDG (Yudotan, Daegong) for anti-air missiles. After this is a two-digit number indicating the missile's place in the series. These numbers are grouped by missile types; when the system was started, 1-9 were air-to-air missiles, 10-19 were anti-tank missiles, 20-29 were anti-ship missiles, and 30-39 were anti-air missiles. As the numbers in each category rose above 10, additional digit series were allocated.

Ballistic missiles

Unlike other missiles, which generally use the "Yudotan" based prefix, Menghean ballistic missiles use the prefix T (Tando Yudotan). They are usually better-known by their publicity names, e.g. Rodong-ho, where Rodong means "Labor" and the "-ho" is an ordinal suffix.

• T-1 Rodong: Scud-derived missile, more specifically a derivative of the {{wp|R-17 Elbrus)). First acquired in 1979, and produced domestically after 1982.
• T-2 Haebang: Extended-range version of the Rodong, successfully tested in 1984. With a range of 1,000 kilometers, it could hit most cities on the east coast of Dayashina, including Nakazara.
• T-3 Bulgŭngi: Further expanded Haebang with a target range of 2,000 kilometers. If completed, it would have been able to hit any city in Dayashina proper, out to the Aijuku islands. Two test launches were conducted in 1986, but both missiles exploded on the launch pad. Decommissioned after the Decembrist Revolution.

• TY-8 Sŭngri: Solid-fueled theatre ballistic missile introduced in 2012. Range of 700 kilometers. TY-8H is an anti-ship version.
• TY-9 Yusin: Medium range ballistic missile introduced in 2017. With a range of 2,500 kilometers, it can hit reach almost any target in Maverica, and Tyrannian bases in the Acheron Islands if fired from Innominada.
