North Korean testing their Hwasal-1/Hwasal-2 Cruise missile.


I like it. The system looks very mature and it displays terrain following/avoidance capability, also the apparent smokeless propellant used for booster. I guess they kinda need all covertness they can possibly afford.

North Korea said it conducted a new underwater weapons test on Tuesday: An "underwater nuclear attack drone" sailed for 59 hours at a depth of between 80 and 150 meters in the Sea of Japan, and exploded underwater upon reaching an area set as an enemy mock port.
here the DPRK press release with some photos from which it is difficult to draw conclusions except that it should have a diameter suitable for use by the torpedo tube of North Korean submarines and therefore 533 mm



But not only this was tested, Hwasal-1/Hwasal-2 cruise missiles were also launched in the exercises

Always nice to see new cruise missiles.

Never seen that long intake on a cruise missiles but I guess it's still stealthier than KH-101.

The North Korean army for the first time showed footage of launches of strategic cruise missiles of the Hwasal-1 and Hwasal-2 types. The cruise missiles were equipped with a "test warhead simulating a nuclear warhead" and flew between 1,500 and 1,800 km. The launch of cruise missiles was a response to the US and South Korean military exercises Freedom Shield 23, which we talked about earlier. The North Korean exercise tested the reliability of control devices and detonators in a mid-air explosion and demonstrated yet another military strike capability. Two Hwasal-1 and Hwasal-2 strategic cruise missiles launched in South Hamgyong Province accurately hit a target in the Sea of Japan.

North Korea's Military Capability

Yep, he's right ya know! We can easily whip the Iranian military but we put up with them. We could easily have whooped Libya for the last thirty or so years and we put up with them and didn't help take out Khaddafi until the very end. We put up with Saddam Hussein for a long time until he...
