According to the latest information from the United States, the United States conducted a test of a new anti-missile on December 11. Tests have shown that the traditional GBI land-based ballistic missile blocker in the United States uses a two-stage rocket engine, which is a major technological breakthrough compared with the previous first-class rocket propulsion technology. During the tests, the United States released an extended-range kinetic energy killer (EKV module), an improved version of the KKV kinetic energy killer. The US Missile Defense Agency has already declared this experiment of new anti-missile technology a success.
The upgrade of the new anti-missile technology has allowed the US ballistic missile interception system to have a longer range. In this test, only a two-stage rocket engine was used, and the first rocket engine was not started, which showed that the new system has greater redundancy and can carry out a wider range of counterattacks. The test was not just a demonstration of U.S. technology, but a warning to the world, including North Korea.
However, even as the United States has taken a tough stance, North Korea has responded in a-for-tat manner. According to North Korean sources, they successfully conducted a test launch of the Hwasong-18 ICBM on December 18, and even announced the relevant ** and **. According to information from the Japanese Ministry of Defense, the Hwasong-18 ICBM was launched at an altitude of more than 6000 kilometers, and after a 70-minute flight, the warhead fell in the waters of the Sea of Japan 1000 kilometers from the launch site.
North Korea has conducted five test launches of an intercontinental ballistic missile, and the Hwasong-18 is a missile with a solid-fuel rocket engine. The test launch showed that the Hwasong-18 has a range of at least 12,000 kilometers, which is enough to strike targets on the U.S. mainland across the Pacific Ocean. Considering that North Korea also possesses nuclear weapons, this test launch shows that North Korea insists on not giving in and dares to take concrete actions in response to US provocations.
This series of events has made the United States not calm, and at the same time made Japan and South Korea anxious. North Korea's ballistic missile test launch not only poses a threat to the United States, but also has a direct impact on the security of the East Asian region. After the United States tested a new anti-missile technology, North Korea responded forcefully with an intercontinental ballistic missile test, demonstrating its determination and strength to dare to take on the challenge.
