Enhanced Scud-ER is claimed by North Korea to hit within few meters of its targets, at a distance of 1,000 km. Defense analysts are doubtful if the Korean scientists can deliver on these claims. Photo: Yonhap

North Korea asserted Tuesday that it has developed a means to strike moving targets at sea with precision. The capability was validated during a recent missile test conducted yesterday (Monday) when Pyongyang tested an upgraded Hwasong-7 (Scud-ER) type missile equipped with trajectory correction and Maneuvering Reentry Vehicle (MaRV), transforming the ballistic missile into ‘precision-guided’ one.

You'd need a targeting mechanism. We've also been shooting down Scuds since the 90's.
