In an effort to snub North Korea’s military assertiveness and its recent launches of nuclear-capable missiles into the East and Yellow seas, South Korea on Wednesday, February 1 announced that its Agency for Defense Development will conduct a test firing of a new high-power ballistic missile—Hyunmoo-5.

South Korea’s Ministry of National Defense unveiled the ‘monster missile’ that used the “cold start” technology and can annihilate North Korea on the Day of the Armed Forces of South Korea on October 1, 2022. Hyunmoo 5 (V) ballistic missile is capable of carrying the “largest warhead in the world” weighing 8 to 9 tons with a thrust of 75 ton-force and can descend at a speed of Mach 10. While the missile’s maximum range is officially unknown, military experts predict that the Hyunmoo 5 (V) may travel at a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers or more.
