Seoul Confirms Hypersonic Missile Test
The South Korean military confirmed that the country successfully tested a locally-made hypersonic missile earlier this month, despite North Korea's doubts about the validity of South Korea's claim. The report indicated that the missile was free of soot traces caused by high temperatures, thanks to heat-resistant materials manufactured domestically. It explained that the missile exceeds five times the speed of sound and has the ability to change course mid-air, making it more difficult to detect and intercept. South Korea intends to continue developing hypersonic missile technology, considering it a crucial strategic capability for national security amid increasing regional arms races and technological support from Russia to North Korea.
