Résumé (original en anglais)
In 1998, missile development in the 3rd world showed an alarming progress, when Pakistan, Iran and North Korea fired rockets of significant ranges. Of these only North Korea is considered as a major player with experience from reverse engineering and development. Hands-on experience in UNSCOM’s R&D missions in Iraq, the analysis of rocket development history and experience from long time industrial work reveal the basic aspects of these countries’ activities and capabilities. The data extracted from the open information allow detailed descriptions of the different systems. This results in a new assessment of the missile status in these countries, which points to the necessity of further enforcement of proliferation limitation.
