From the BBC:
North Korea is believed to have test-fired Nodongs in 2006, 2009, 2014 and 2016, but it is not possible to determine the true scope of success of these tests because we do not know what the targets were.
Not a very good name, is it? It won't really strike fear into their enemies hearts.
I mean, if you're going to go to the trouble of inventing a missile, shouldn't you quickly check that it doesn't sound ridiculous in any major language.

"In the face of these new and scurrilous threats, we shall rain down fire upon your cities and your people shall burn all the way to hell. And remember, we've got Nodongs."
It is a little known fact that North Korea sought technical and financial support from Vietnam for the development of their weaponry. This support was not forthcoming, hence the Koreans naming their missiles "nodongs" to reflect the lack of support from Vietnam. The Vietnamese currency being the Dong as most on here know.
I will admit that I didn't know that the Vietnamese currency was called the Dong, but I'm delighted that it is! Cheers Blackbarn.
Going to Vietnam on holiday must be hilarious.
