The long reach of North Korea's missiles
The long reach of North Korea's missiles Source
North Korea may be a poor country, but it has some of the most developed missile systems in the world. Not even years of near-economic collapse, famine and hunger have hampered the country's missile-development programs, which are meant both as a preemptive defense - to scare off potential attackers - and for export.
Over the years, North Korea has earned substantial revenue from the sale of missiles, and missile components and technology. It is widely believed that the sale of missiles is the financial source for the country's nuclear program, which is the reason United States and other Western countries are eager to stop North Korean missile exports.
See the rest of the source article, for interesting overview of NK`s long range missiles. Should not surprise me if Iran manages to export a few such to Israel.
