The conflict in Ukraine has evolved into a grinding war of attrition, prompting discussions about the return of a tactical crisis and the end of maneuver warfare. Advances in military technology have led to a situation reminiscent of the tactical crisis during World War I, where increased firepower favors the defender and forces units to disperse, dig in, or both. The empty battlefield and the need to concentrate fighting power from dispersed positions during offensive actions present challenges similar to those faced in the past.

This unique opportunity to assess the accuracy, range, and interception capabilities of North Korean missiles in a real-world battle scenario could lead to improvements in countering the missile threat.
