   On the afternoon of January 14, the General Directorate of Rocketry of the DPRK conducted a test launch of a medium- and long-range solid-propellant ballistic missile with a hypersonic maneuverable guided warhead.


   The test launch is aimed at confirming the gliding and maneuvering flight characteristics of a mid- and long-range hypersonic maneuverable guided warhead and the reliability of new multi-stage heavy-duty solid propellant jet engines.
   The launch was successful.

 

This test launch had no impact on the security of surrounding countries and took place regardless of the situation in the region.
   

The Main Directorate of Rocket Science explained that the current test serves as one of the links in the regular activities of the Main Directorate and defense research institutes for the development of powerful weapons systems.

The warhead of a hypersonic gliding flight, after separating from a missile launched from a training ground of one military unit in the vicinity of Pyongyang in the northeast direction, flew along the intended flight path, reaching the first maximum altitude of 101.1 km and the second maximum altitude of 72.3 km, and accurately fell into the waters of the Korean East Sea at a distance of 1000 km.

According to the report, the hypersonic unit performed vertical maneuvers in flight and had two apogees. The first “jump” is 101.1 km, the second is 72.3 km.
