NK Pro analysis reveals state of North Korea's warship modernization program

A new modern-style corvette with low-observable radar characteristics has been spotted in North Korea's northeastern port of Najin in Rason, high-resolution photos obtained exclusively by NK Pro have revealed.

Two sets of photos taken during different periods in 2016 show a heavily armed, 77-meter long vessel with radar cross-section (RCS) reducing features docked adjacent to a helicopter-capable but minimally armed support ship.
