North Korean-Launched Ballistic Missile Reaches Mach 16

North Korea fired another unidentified munition. According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea, this is the seventh missile test since the beginning of this year.

Pyongyang conducted another test of an unidentified munition, a missile was launched towards the Sea of ​​Japan. According to operational control data, the North Korean military tested a ballistic missile, and given that its speed in some areas reached Mach 16, this is a Hwaseong-12 medium-range ballistic missile. This rocket was first shown and tested in 2017.

The missile launched on Sunday morning from the area of ​​the village of Mupyeong-ri in Chagangdo province in the direction of the Sea of ​​Japan and flew about 800 km, fell into the sea, the maximum flight altitude was 2 km, the South Korean military said in a statement. It is emphasized that the DPRK has not launched such missiles since 2017, observing a voluntary moratorium on ICBM tests.

According to our data, the rocket was launched at an almost vertical angle. Its maximum speed reached Mach 16, that is, it flew 16 times faster than the speed of sound.

- leads news Yonhap agency words of a military source.

Against this background, a telephone conversation took place between the Chief of the Committee of Chiefs of Staff of South Korea, Won In-chul, and the commander of US troops in the country, Paul Lacamera. The parties condemned the ongoing missile tests by North Korea and reaffirmed the agreement on joint defense in the event of an attack by the DPRK.

Meanwhile, South Korea does not rule out that Pyongyang has ended its voluntary moratorium on testing intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. weaponswhich has been in operation since 2017.

The first space one is ~ Mach 23.9. And Mach 16 outside the atmosphere, that's the norm. The rocket, as said, is ballistic, that is, transatmospheric.

Now everyone will be measured swings and in ancient times they measured ... well, you know

After reading the news and the name of the rocket, I immediately remembered the immortal role...

And the surname according to the work is suitable, and he appreciated HWASON very much)))

Why is he mine? Not labeling too fast? Can we delve into the essence of what is written for a start?

Mach 16 outside the atmosphere, this is normal.

I suspect there are no Machs outside the atmosphere. There, the speed of sound is zero, and you cannot divide by zero. No, you can share, of course, but the result will not be exact.

You even throw a stone - it flies along a ballistic trajectory. In uncontrolled movement.
Yes, and there are BRs of short and medium range, they don’t fly high.

It depends on what you compare it to. Say, for "Iskander" they indicate an apogee of up to 100 km. A very convenient height: there is almost no density of the atmosphere there, but still it is, so you can even talk about some "swings"))

Judging by what is written here, it is not just transatmospheric, but has reached the height of the satellite orbits.

... the maximum flight altitude was 2 thousand km...

[belovvladimir]

19.600 km/h decent speed

[rocket757]

the speed in some areas reached Mach 16, this is a Hwaseong-12 medium-range ballistic missile.

Normal ballistic missile, not very long range .....

[mark1]

not very long range...

About 4800 - 5000 km ... if launched at a distance.

Typical BRSD. Happy for the North Korean comrades!

[rocket757]

This is understandable ... if the speed and the declared height are determined correctly. "dropped" it for 800 km, so they had to.

Yes, somewhere around 850-1000 km is the upper point of the trajectory ... If lower, only closer

Underestimate. Offend.

the maximum flight altitude was 2 km, the South Korean military said in a statement.

[mark1]

You didn’t understand - it was launched almost vertically upwards so as not to get into Japan (or not to cross). According to the height of the trajectory and speed (maybe according to some other parameters), potential capabilities are calculated during normal shooting. In our country, according to the same scheme, the RS-26 was tested for 2000 km with the declared 6-6.5 thousand, which gave the Americans a reason to scream about the violation of the INF Treaty.

[stayer]

and having flown about 800 km, fell into the sea, the maximum flight altitude was 2 thousand km, the South Korean military said in a statement.

Somewhere there is an error. 2000 km is open space. It is necessary to reach almost 29000 km / h in order to go into space.

[Troll]

This is an error in your reasoning. 29000 km/h is not the speed of an EVA. This is the minimum (for a given height above the surface of the planet) horizontal velocity that must be given to an object in order for it to move in a circular orbit around the planet. That is, this is not the speed of spacewalking.

The Koreans did not have a high horizontal component. Otherwise, they might be misunderstood.

Somewhere there is an error. 2000 km is open space. It is necessary to reach almost 29000 km / h in order to go into space.

the first space is needed to enter orbit
if the rocket has insufficient horizontal speed, then it will fall back to the surface of the Earth under the influence of gravity.
Which is what the rocket launched by the DPRK did.

To enter orbit, it is necessary to give sufficient horizontal velocity.

To enter outer space beyond the limits of the force of gravity of the Earth, the rocket must develop a second space velocity (~ 11,2 km / s)

Tireless and restless Eun, with a speed of Mach 16, says hello to the mattresses, their rangers entrenched in bases in the region and their occupied "allies".

Yeah, tireless Eun is once again landing astronauts on the Sun

Dmitry, welcome!
I also wanted to insert a picture, but changed my mind in time ... Because of one small word (obscene), which is most often used to "link words" ...
But the meaning is something like this ... Against the background of a rocket taking off, Eun's face and the phrase ... "I'm not intimidating anyone. We just," damn it, "don't hit Japan!"

If this is true, then poor Japan ... Now they are no longer up to the Kuriles ....

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Now they are no longer up to the Kuriles ....

bleating about the Kuril Islands has a completely different story ... and it lies in the reasons 10 years ago .. when Fukushima exploded .... the accident at the facility was not only eliminated, but is still in the stage of localization with deplorable success .... the huracio current carries radioactive water to Hawaii ... catching seafood is prohibited at a distance of up to 1000 km from a dangerous object .... that is why the Kuriles are so important for samurai blood to wear out ...... that's the problem. ..from the east coast, catching is prohibited, and from the west coast, Eun can either drown or drag the fishermen to him by his nostrils ... speaking to Japan, you can safely file a complaint ... the trick is that migratory fish feeding in radioactive waters goes to spawn into the rivers of the Far East with all the consequences .... such a problem

[neurostimulator]

Well done! There is nothing more to add. Keep it up ! ...
.. For them, now they urgently need to do air defense, by special order - the S-550K model, "K" is Korean, knocks everything down and reacts especially painfully to jokes about Kim Jong-un
Otherwise, they will deploy them ... on the path to success, and they definitely do not deserve it.

voluntary moratorium on testing of intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, in force since 2017.

So it was kind of voluntary?

[Klingon]

I didn’t understand something, the maximum height was 2000 km ... Is it like flying into space and then returning? Or is it still meant 20 km?

[smart fellow]

On the night of November 29, 2017, the DPRK launched an ICBM. She reached a height of 4475 km and, having covered a distance of 950 km, fell into the Sea of ​​Japan.

That awkward feeling that even the DPRK has hypersound, but the "world hegemon" does not.

[ERsytype]

And why do they need all this? Can South Korea attack? And do they need it? Completely different Koreans live in two Koreas. Southern, economic and technological giant. Northern, absolute zero, not counting, of course, the missile technologies "provided by someone".
Give a link, I always wanted to see how an ordinary North Korean lives. Probably full and happy?

[Sands Careers General]

You are absolute zero
And the northerners are great, they don’t bend under the Yankees.

[Santa Fe]

How does a normal North Korean live? Probably full and happy?

For you, the main thing is to fill your stomach. Here it is, philistine logic

True happiness is not in this. For every Korean, happiness is to serve their country

[KCA]

North Korea in Soviet times was a member of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, and with. there were a lot of Koreans in Dubna, people, like people, never talked about politics, they didn’t come to visit without a bottle of ginseng vodka, although they themselves didn’t drink very much, if they had a really bad life, they wouldn’t return home, but would stay in Union

[Sands Careers General]

So it’s the Yapas who need to be afraid, not the South Koreans))
But the DPRK is great. Makes American vassals poop bricks

[Ryaruav]

just well done, they send the IMF, Godep, the WTO, etc. Ypres, but what about Russia? where is the military-technical answer, after all, they said so from all the irons, where ????

[Ekzeget Semiotix]

the maximum flight altitude was 2 thousand km
==========================================
what are you smoking there?

[Alexander Zagrebin_2]

How is the maximum flight altitude of 2 thousand km. ? ISS at an altitude of only 400 km. flies! It is not logical to take off to such a height to fly 800 km, while the speed of 16 speeds of sound is not sufficient to reach orbit. Do you know what a howl would rise if the rocket flew past the orbit of the ISS!? When Russia shot down the virgin soil satellite at an altitude of 650 km, there was already a howl, and here it was 2 thousand km. Something is wrong in the text, exaggerated as always.

[Kostadinov]

Everything is fine. They launched a rocket along a hinged trajectory close to the vertical. According to the optimal trajectory, she could go 4500 - 5000 km.
There was an official message from the TsTAK that they had carried out a training launch to test an already adopted and mass-produced missile. There was a camera on the rocket and there is a photo of the earth.

[Dzafdet]

The missile was not ballistic, it launched a supersonic weapon that performed various maneuvers, including a slide and a spiral. So, Americans, get ready to receive greetings from North Korea.

[Freedom in 0]

If it were not for such missiles, then democracy in the UK would clearly have been shaken. And it would urgently need to be supported by free planes, tanks and missiles. And so ... they have democracy, it turns out, in order. Conclusion?
The more missiles in the country, the more democracy there.
