State news agency KCNA said Thursday’s exercise involved an apparently operational strategic cruise missile unit of the Korean People’s Army, which fired four ‘Hwasal-2’ missiles in the area of ​​the city of Kim Chak in North Hamgyeong province. fired towards the sea off the east coast of the peninsula.

It states that other units took fire training without live firing on difficult terrain. The English-language report stated that the four strategic cruise missiles ‘hit a predetermined target after traveling in 2000 km-long (1,242.7 mi) elliptical and eight-shaped flight orbits from 10,208 seconds to 10,224 seconds’.

The KCNA said the military exercise showed “how strong the combat skills of the DPRK nuclear combat force are in carrying out lethal nuclear retaliatory strikes against enemy forces in all forms.” However, the tests of these cruise missiles were not announced by South Korea or Japan, which often detect and publicly report North Korean launches.

Not only this, along with missile testing, he also gave a stern warning about the US-South Korea exercise. North Korea’s talks with its rivals have stalled and it is increasing its military capacity with the intention of applying pressure for the relaxation of US sanctions.

Questions on North Korea’s claims of increasing nuclear capacity
North Korea claims that its nuclear forces are capable of destroying enemies. However, many foreign experts call North Korea’s claim propaganda. He says that this country is not even capable of attacking America or its allied countries with any nuclear weapon. There is no doubt that North Korea has nuclear bombs and missiles that can target the US, South Korea and Japan. However, it is not clear whether North Korea has mastered the technique of using bombs and missiles together.

There are also questions about whether North Korea has acquired the technology to protect weapons from high-temperature, high-pressure environments. A South Korean defense document released last week said it was not clear whether the missiles could survive re-entry into Earth’s environment. North Korea has demonstrated that it has missiles that can reach deep into the American continent, but it is not clear whether these missiles can survive reentry into the Earth’s environment after being launched.
