Kim Jong -in has inspected the test of a new ballistic rocket with hypersonic planet

The DPRK stated that the rocket flew 1000 km and fell in the Japanese Sea, but in South Korea they rated a 600 km test flight. North Korea showed a new Hwasongpho-16b rocket. The ammunition is stated, is a ballistic missile for the deployment of a hypersonic glider. About it reports The War Zone. By whom Chen Ins inspected a new rocket based on a 14-wheeled transport and assembly launch installation. The front part also added a folding section that protects the rocket before launching.

The test launch was carried out outside the capital of Pyongyan. The official statement reported that the rocket reached the first peak at an altitude of 101. 1 km, and the second is 72. 3 km. The flight range was 1000 km. The rocket fell in the Japanese Sea. Meanwhile, in South Korea, a 600 km flight range was appreciated and added that it was a medium-range ballistic missile with a radius of 3000-5000 km. Seoul also added that the North Koreans were probably experimented with new warhead technologies.

The publication adds that it is impossible to check the DPRK's statement independently about the hypersonic glider, but two peak heights correspond to the principle of such weapons. Hypersonic planers do not have a hypersonic power plant, and rocket accelerators are needed to raise them to the desired height and speed before starting. Further ammunition should move at a speed of more than 5 strokes.
