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.
