North Korea successfully tests hypersonic missile

North Korea tested a hypersonic missile in a test launch on Tuesday. Reported by news agency "Renhap".

The South Korean and American military, tracking the launch of an unidentified munition launched by the North Korean military on Tuesday towards the Sea of ​​Japan, suggested that it could be a hypersonic gliding device (HGV) or a new type. weapons... They came to this conclusion after studying the trajectory of the munition and other features of the launch.

Pyongyang confirmed the conclusions of the South Korean military, stating that the DPRK had tested a new type of hypersonic missile "Hwaseong-8". This was reported by the state central news agency TsTAK. It is emphasized that the development of a hypersonic missile is one of the five priorities of the new military "five-year plan" for the development of strategic weapons, which began this year.

The DPRK Academy of Defense Sciences conducted a test launch of the Hwaseong-8 hypersonic missile, which it recently developed (...) in Chagando province

- said in the message of the CTAC.

It is emphasized that the missile tests were recognized as successful, the developers were able to check the maneuverability of the ammunition, its navigation control, the aerodynamic performance of the warhead, and also to test the "fuel ampoule".

Earlier, the successful test of a hypersonic missile was announced in the United States.

Here's how ?!
Ours, during the creation of hypersonic missiles, recognized a certain number of difficulties, the Americans, due to problems, either postponed or failed their tests, and the Koreans, who still have trucks on wood, once - and successfully tested!

[fa2998]

It's just that the term "hypersonic missile" is fashionable now! At the final stage of the flight, any ballistic missile turns into a "hypersonic" missile. The first of them is FAU-4000-5000 km / h. In fact, we acquired "hypersonic" under Korolev!

[Shurik70]

The combination of "hypersound" and "gliding" is not entirely clear.
Planning, in theory, is DO-sound
But any time for the DPRK

[Old tanker]

Our "Vanguard" is a gliding hypersonic unit.

The combination of "hypersound" and "gliding" is not entirely clear.

This is a glider, where it is easiest to get out of hypersound. Glider is a gliding cruise or aeroballistic missile. For such missiles, in principle, "low" hypersound is assumed to be quite a typical characteristic.

North Korea tested a hypersonic missile in a test launch on Tuesday.

The Japanese are delighted !!!

[HMR333]

No planning it planning! This means planning without an engine! From the word glider!

[HMR333]

And the speeds there can be inside and out

[An64]

As one of my lecturers used to say: "Let's deal with the terms!"
Now, experts understand a hypersonic missile as "a missile weapon capable of flying in the atmosphere at a hypersonic speed (greater than or equal to 5 M or 6120 km / h) and maneuver using aerodynamic forces".
And so, yes - and the MRBM flies at hypersonic speed ...

Well, 4-5 thousand km / h is not "hypersound" yet .... But in general - you are absolutely right! Any ballistic missile with a range of more than 4-5 thousand km is a priori "hypersonic" (at least in some parts of the trajectory!)

Firewood has a bright future, green energy, renewable raw materials. Gay Europeans are taking a brisk step towards this, in small Britain there are a lot of wood-fired power plants.

[vadimtt]

Where does the firewood come from in foggy Albion? Back in the century before last, everyone was raised

[bar]

They are brought in from where they have not yet been raised. In particular from the USA, Germany, Latvia. This is called the buzzword "pellets".

Strange, rapeseed (biodiesel) seems to be more profitable, both in terms of processing, and the speed of replenishment and logistics.

[bar]

Well, that's how they are ...

[HMR333]

Yes, and you took into account that after him 5 years of figs that are growing!

It seems to me that you are wrong.
It is not recommended to sow rapeseed in the same place more often than once every four years. That is, "sow rapeseed on rapeseed."
Crop rotation with other crops should be used (vetch, oats are recommended).

[Sasha from Uralmash]

Well, rather, that without outside help, they would hardly have been able to themselves! And now the entire configuration of the air defense mattresses will have to be changed from their allies!

Because the Leader with his own hand ..... stop, I'm confusing it with Turkmenistan.
Well, in short, as in the joke:

Petka frenziedly scribbled from a machine gun, not allowing White to rise to the attack. Suddenly the machine gun fell silent.
- Vasily Ivanovich, the cartridges are out!
- So what, Petka ?! After all, you are a communist!
And he machineed up the machine gun again ...

[HMR333]

So rocket rocket strife! Hypersound is different too! Girer made a sound rocket about the USSR around Moscow! Only the current speed and other performance characteristics have increased by an order of magnitude! So nothing is impossible!

[DMi]

"Firewood" did not prevent them from successfully testing atomic weapons and making ballistic missiles. Maybe we don't know something about this country?

[Klingon]

Wow, North Koreans, for their communist idea, will make even cow cakes fly at hypersonic speed ... and by the way they won't whine .. "wow, penny in nemae" is not like Skakuas

[Cowbra]

If this is true, then in Pyatystenka now they are eating up their boots - they have a fig on vegetable oil)))

[Thrifty]

One hundred pounds, that there was a hustle and bustle of "good pundits" and clearly not from one country ...

[Nyrobsky]

Cheerful Kim Jong-un once again cordially waved the mattress "democracy" with his shiny new rocket.

[mark1]

Yes ... to see the tunnels for our research institutes dug not only from China ...
This is what I mean. that from the beginning a "foundation" is required, which does not cost little money, brains and time, but if the factor, at least, money and time (even just time) is absent, then only ch.z. "tunnel"

[Roma 1977]

The North Koreans have long been closely and successfully engaged in nuclear missiles. If their country is poor, this does not mean that their scientists are mediocre. On the contrary, they have already created their own strong school in this area.

Roma, I pointed out at least two factors that in this case are not visible and North Korean brains were not present in them ... in turn, to comprehend and implement what was mined requires a serious mind and state will.

[Roma 1977]

You hinted that the Russians made the hypersound to the Koreans. But this is not the case. The DPRK has been independently developing and producing missile systems of various classes for a long time.

[mark1]

I didn’t hint but said it bluntly. I will say more - all missile systems have ears and legs from China and Russia (USSR) and this does not in any way detract from the talent of North Korean scientists.

[Nexcom]

the North Koreans have designers quite with brains.
they created a Type 73 with a tape / magazine combo for 7.62x54 R.
under the SHOULDER chuck the combined feed machine !!!
and a completely reliable BOX magazine for the WELCOME cartridge !!!
it's not such a trivial task. so the Juche people actually work there at home.

Threat I will not be surprised if they solve all their problems with rocketry.

[Galina Bazhenova]

They will definitely decide. They have the main thing, the idea. << Idleness is the mother of boredom and many vices. >> A. Suvorov.

[Shket53]

I'll tell you a secret ... even in 1998, 32 engineers and the Yuzhnoye design bureau, together with their families, wanted to set sail for the DPRK ... really unsuccessfully ... Substances 404 still got there. Well, their valiant work ... as they say is obvious

[elai]

North Korea???? STA?

[Yves762]

It was written here that Eun lost weight ...
So that's where it turns out to be!
In general, this is how it should be: for the sake of the right topic and "Himself" it is not a sin to tighten the belt.

[Vadim Ananyin]

The United States and Japan will now have even more sleepless nights.
And it may so happen that the alliance-bite will not help any of them, since the DPRK is a friend of China.

We are waiting for messages on the successful launch of a hypersonic missile by Iran)

Firewood has a bright future, green energy, renewable raw materials. Gay Europeans are taking a brisk step towards this, in small Britain there are a lot of wood-fired power plants.

In fact, ALL modern fuel - oil, gas, coal - is the former "firewood" - vegetation growing on the Earth. When burned, it also gives kilocalories. With the appropriate filters, the same energy. In our country, they are taken to a landfill and buried (or burned on fires). , though they drive)

[Galina Bazhenova]

It is not for nothing that specialists from Kiev left for North Korea. Today we saw the results of their work. It was not in vain that Kim exploded demonstratively platforms for storing and launching missiles. Well done.

[Shket53]

Not from Kuev ... but from Dnepropetrovsk ... or whatever he is now ... It seems the Dnieper. KB "Yuzhnoye"

[zwlad]

Well done North Koreans. They do not allow the hegemon and his henchmen to relax in that part of the globe.

[Roman16]

What is there to be surprised at?
The DPRK is like a miniature USSR ..
And in the Soviet Union, like nowhere else, they knew how to work with their heads and hands ..
We ourselves still use Soviet developments in many things ..
And no one is surprised that the "poor" socialists developed something that is beyond the power of today's "rich" Russia ..

1. The maneuvering warhead for the BR (Hwasong 17) was consumed in the DPRK 4 years ago. So they have a successful experience. The planning of the warhead is the next step. They have already been drunk in Russia, the USA, China and India. There is nothing supernatural about this, but there are always difficulties and will always be.
2. It's funny to read how everything in the DPRK is done by Russians, or at least Ukrainians. Reminds of how the Americans reacted to the Soviet successes.
3. Trucks for firewood or coal are not a bad idea if the UN decided that no more than 600 thousand tons of oil per year can be imported to the DPRK. 25 million people and only 600 thousand tons of oil per year - the most environmentally friendly and sustainable country in the world.

[Evil 55]

This is a click on Biden's nose .. Yes, even on the eve of the adoption of the budget for 2022. Not for nothing .. Such a statement about the presence of hypersound in the DPRK is clearly calculated for 50 additional lard for the US Department of Defense.

[Nexcom]

and this is the only way the minke whales wind up their military budget - now there is a threat, now there is a threat. type to adequately answer you need money for the modernization of the old and the development of a new one. otherwise there will be nothing to answer. unsurprisingly standard reception ...

Kuyev I call the Nazi parish in Ukraine. And in Dnepropetrovsk I think that most of the people are still Russians.
