I'm not an expert on missiles, but this image made me wonder

That looks like a spline with a groove for ball bearings. OK, maybe the explosion forcibly removed all ball bearings but one, but the real question is: shouldn't that better be lubricated and not all rusted?

I saw a video of a Russian artillery crew using North Korean shells. That baby went up like a Ford Pinto after a fender bender.

Did it make sounds like that talking Hannah Barbera car when it went down?

I was missing a couple of teeth and saw Jeru The Damaja live, and he told me I looked like Snagletooth...

I got the Hannah Barbera reference as well and oh my god I'm old.

Looks like these have a ~50% failure rate

Should have remembered they do an English version. Thanks!

It was noted that more than half of the KN-23 missiles lost their programmed flight trajectory during flight and likely exploded in the air, as the launches of these missiles were recorded, but their debris was not found.

In other words:

100% success and all nazis destroyed and we're winning!
