North Korea's hypersonic missile test late this month, when North Korea acquired another missile known as the "3-31" (pulhwasal-3-31). This is truly an astonishing move, like a blinding lightning bolt on a geographical map.
The trajectory of technological change.
However, this is not the first time that North Korea has used such a **. Rocket-3-31" strategic cruise missile, without mentioning "Arrow-1". The incident occurred when North Korea held a ** exercise known as a "strategic nuclear strike" and sent two long-range missiles into the Yellow Sea. After testing the "Arrow-1" missile, many experts say that this missile can glide at low altitude and be flexible, increasing the attack and defense capabilities against targets. However, this strategic missile, which has long been considered an advanced one, has not received sufficient attention.
As a result, North Korea quickly developed the Hwasal-2 strategic cruise missile, which is based on the Y-1, and it is said to have conducted its first flight test in September 2021. The process of these scientific and technological developments seems to have inadvertently contributed to the development of the "Rocket-3-31" by North Korea.
North Korea's missile range.
Hey, look at how far those missiles are. We can verify the information in the text. The text mentions that the Arrow and Rocket-3-31 missiles have an effective range of 1,500 to 2,000 km, which means that South Korean, Japanese and American military bases in the region are within the range of North Korean missile attacks. If there is a real fight, all three of them could be wiped out by a single North Korean missile.
In response to the expansion of military exercises between the United States and South Korea, North Korea has tested more than 100 weapons in just one year." North Korea's advances in ballistic missile technology include increased range, improved technology, and test launches of new intercontinental missiles.
Changes in the geographical environment.
Let's put it another way, it's not just a technical issue, it's a changed geography. Pak Jong-cheon, member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the DPRK Labor Commission, observed the missile test launch and congratulated defense scientists and the military industry departments, especially in dealing with Japan, South Korea, and other countries, and that the DPRK will gain greater influence. This change is not limited to the military dimension, it will affect the geographical map of the world.
The dilemma of the United States, Japan, and South Korea.
Next, let's take a look at the United States, Japan, and South Korea. They are in a dilemma when faced with the rocket threat from North Korea. In particular, the United States, the most powerful country in the world, is now being pressed and beaten by a weak country. The United States has always ranked first in the ranking of global military power.
The development of missile science and technology in South Korea and Japan is complex and dynamic. 1 It shows that Japan's warhead reentry technology has matured and is one of the more advanced technologies in rocket technology. Therefore, the United States, Japan, and South Korea must reflect on their respective positions and roles on the North Korean issue. As geography changes, the leaders of these three countries must rethink their strategies and diplomatic strategies to counter the new missile threat from North Korea.
Controversial future.
The United States, Japan, and South Korea are generally selected to launch satellites at lower latitudes, and under pressure from the DPRK, they are facing new difficulties and challenges. This issue may become a point of contention in the future. In this complex world structure, it remains to be seen which side will seize the opportunity and which side will be unbalanced in the new situation. Perhaps, under such changes, there will be new discussions and debates in the next chapter of geopolitics.
Technological breakthroughs, strategic games.
Launches of the "Arrow-1" and "Arrow-2" strategic cruise missiles. This huge technological breakthrough has given North Korea a huge technological advantage, while also increasing its influence in the geographical environment. But behind this technology is often a game of strategy, which requires North Korea to be strategically determined for its future.
Contain and embrace North Korea.
North Korea's influence geographically is certainly greater because of its rocket technology. However, it poses a great threat to neighboring countries. The international community reacted strongly after North Korea's satellite launch, but that was not enough evidence of North Korea's support for its technology. As for the United States, it is also necessary to reflect on its role in East Asia and its diplomatic strategy toward the DPRK.
From this point of view, North Korea is not only a dangerous country, but also a key country. As far as the DPRK is concerned, building an effective mechanism for exchanges and cooperation in the geopolitical and military fields will be a major issue for some time to come. "By threatening them and supporting its technology, North Korea has sent a message to the entire international community that there are both challenges and opportunities."
Complex scientific and technological advances.
Behind this scientific and technological phenomenon, there are political, economic, social and other considerations of a country. North Korea's development is not only its own scientific and technological progress, but also an important opportunity in its overall development strategy. However, the development of science and technology is not only an increase in power, but also the territory of the whole world.
North Korea is strategically located, but its economy and market size are small, and there is a structural imbalance in resource endowments. Such complex scientific and technological developments have made North Korea both the center of the world's attention and the capital for it to seek more say in the world.
Disputes and collaboration in a new paradigm.
With North Korea's evolving missile technology, a new game of geopolitics is in front of the world. Conflict and cooperation are intertwined, and conflicts between countries will become more and more apparent. In this new environment, it is worth paying attention to which side is more resilient, which side is better at finding a balance in the game between technology and geopolitics, and which side will be out of balance in the new situation.
Perhaps, under such changes, there will be new discussions and debates in the next chapter of geopolitics. In this new geographical environment, our country is facing more and more problems, but there are also more and more opportunities. For the DPRK, how to safeguard its rights and interests in the game of disputes and cooperation will be a very serious and important test. At the same time, it is worth waiting and seeing how countries around the world will take the initiative in the new geopolitics and which countries may be out of balance in the new geopolitics. The new geography is the beginning of the dispute and an opportunity for the two sides to cooperate. The development of the world economy is facing new opportunities as well as new challenges.
Full text summary. North Korea's hypersonic test launch attracted widespread attention. This has a range of 1,500 to 2,000 kilometers, meaning it can cover military bases in South Korea and Japan, as well as the United States. This has had an impact on North Korea and its neighbors, as well as on the global geographic map. The United States, Japan and South Korea face a choice between whether to take action against North Korea.
