Alexandr Prokhanov, editor-in-chief of the Russian newspaper Zavtra, said this in a recent interview with the Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda.

He said:

The DPRK's launch of a new medium to long-range ballistic missile had a great impact on the world community.

What astonished the U.S., Japan and other countries is not just the successful launch of the rocket and its accuracy but its type which is completely new.

Supreme Leader of the DPRK Kim Jong Un encouraged the members doing rocket-assembling on the spot.

The might of that rocket can be found in the fact that the liquid-fuel rocket engine was definitely converted into the high-power solid-fuel rocket engine. This points to the perfect rocket-manufacturing technology.

Another might is that it has rapidity, which makes it impossible for the enemies to intercept as it can be launched while shifting its position.

Its successful test is evidently a great victory won by the DPRK.

The DPRK is defending its sovereignty and security by dint of such might.
