Recently, Russian media quoted the "Korean Central News Agency" as saying that the DPRK Missile General Administration conducted a new missile test in the western coastal area, involving cruise missile and anti-aircraft missile technology, focusing on testing the newly developed super-large warhead. Although the DPRK side tried to keep a low profile about the test, once it involves the missile test, it will inevitably arouse heated discussions in the United States, Japan, and South Korea. This time, on the pretext of testing the power of the super-large warhead of a cruise missile, the DPRK gave a big gift to the United States, Japan, and the ROK -- to create a North Korean version of the "monster missile."
The so-called "monster missile" originated from the "Hyunmoo-5" missile, which South Korea announced its successful development last year. The missile was claimed to be able to dig 100 meters into the ground and hit underground fortifications; When carrying a 1-ton warhead, the range can exceed 3000 km. Yoon Suk-yeol even said that the salvo "Xuanwu-5" would be comparable to nuclear**. The outside world is skeptical of South Korea's claims, believing that its actual performance will not be up to the level claimed.
In contrast, North Korea has been testing cruise missiles, showing that its technology is maturing. The addition of a super-large warhead means that North Korea is trying to bring cruise missiles to the level of "monster missiles". In contrast, South Korea may be too dependent on the United States in terms of technology, and compared with North Korea, which has independent research and development capabilities, South Korea's position appears to be somewhat passive.
It is noteworthy that the Japanese side believes that the DPRK may install nuclear warheads on cruise missiles. Earlier, the North Korean side released footage of Kim Jong-un's inspection of the nuclear warhead factory, showing the configuration scheme of various types of warheads. The move clearly sends a message to the outside world that North Korea has nuclear warheads of different sizes that can be configured and used as needed.
Amid ongoing tensions on the peninsula, countries are concerned about North Korea's missile tests. Against this backdrop, South Korea may need to rethink its dependence on the United States and the need for autonomy in technology research and development. The future course of the peninsula will depend on how the parties balance their interests and avoid triggering further tensions. North Korea's latest round of missile tests has once again brought the situation on the peninsula to the spotlight. Russian media quoted the "Korean Central News Agency" as revealing that the DPRK Missile General Administration has conducted new missile tests in the western coastal region, focusing on cruise missile and anti-aircraft missile technology. The most eye-catching of these is the super-large warhead tested by the North Korean side, which is nicknamed the North Korean version of the "monster missile" by the outside world.
The so-called "monster missile" ** is the "Hyunmoo-5" missile, which South Korea previously claimed to have successfully developed. South Korea claims that the missile can not only dig 100 meters into the ground and hit underground fortifications, but also have a range of up to 3,000 kilometers if it carries a 1-ton warhead, which is equivalent to South Korea's geographical scope covering the entire Korean Peninsula and its surrounding areas. This claim has been viewed with skepticism by the international community, which is considered to be difficult to achieve such a high level of performance at a technical level.
In response, the North Korean side has taken a more low-key stance, trying to decouple the test from the regional situation. Regardless of North Korea's strategy, its missile test has still become a hot topic of discussion in the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries. The test of the super-large warhead has raised the capabilities of cruise missiles to a higher level, and has aroused international concern about the maturity of North Korea's missile technology.
For South Korea, its claim to the Hyunmoo-5 missile has been met with international skepticism, leading to a gap between technological prowess and rhetoric. In contrast, North Korea has been conducting several tests in the field of cruise missiles, showing that its technology accumulation is relatively mature. The test of the super-large warhead means that North Korea is trying to bring its cruise missiles to the level of "monster missiles" and win more say for North Korea in the regional security landscape.
Amid the concerns of the international community, Japan has raised doubts about the possible installation of nuclear warheads in the development of North Korean missile technology. North Korea has previously released footage of Kim Jong-un inspecting a nuclear warhead factory, showing the configuration of warheads of different sizes, raising concerns about the potential use of North Korea's nuclear warheads.
The continuing tensions on the Korean Peninsula require caution on all sides at both the security and strategic levels. North Korea's missile test may change the regional security landscape to a certain extent, and countries need to strengthen communication and cooperation to balance regional interests and avoid endangering peace and stability. The future direction of the Korean Peninsula will be influenced by the joint efforts of all parties, and at the same time, the international community will need to work together to achieve a peaceful settlement.
