2021, October - 19 -- North Korea has confirmed
the reported launch of the SLBM from a submarine with photos. This is without
a doubt the type of PS-1 mod was presented at the exhibition. The significantly
longer WH, the roll fins and the start mode using a gas dynamic piston are
new. The used Sinpo-class submarine is unchanged, the launch tube possibly.
Note: The PS-1mod is not identical or
derived from the PS GLBM-2.
Here is an overview.
2021, October 12 -- In a presentation
of the North Korean missile arsenal, a Pukguksong-1 SLBM with modified WH
and new cable duct is shown. The old model of a PS-3 beside to it illustrates
the different dimensions once again.

On closer inspection, the gas dynamic
piston with the grid fins and the covers for the roll fins can be guessed
at the PS-1 mod.
