'MONSTER MISSILE': Video released by North Korea shows the country's dictator Kim Jong Un observing the launch of a massive intercontinental ballistic missile.
People watch a TV screen showing a news program reporting about North Korea's ICBM at a train station in Seoul, South Korea, Friday, March 25, 2022. North Korea said Friday it test-fired its biggest-yet intercontinental ballistic missile under the orders of leader Kim Jong Un, who vowed to expand the North's"nuclear war deterrent" while preparing for a"long-standing confrontation" with the United States.
At around 25 meters long, the Hwasong-17 is by some estimates the world’s largest road-mobile ballistic missile system. North Korea revealed the missile during a military parade in October 2020, and Thursday’s launch from an airport near the capital Pyongyang was its first full-range test. The Hwasong-17, which was fired at a high angle to avoid the territorial waters of neighbors, reached a maximum altitude of 6,248 kilometers and traveled 1,090 kilometers during a 67-minute flight before landing in waters between North Korea and Japan, according to North Korea’s state media.
While North Korea could be years and major technology advancements away from building a multiwarhead ICBM, it’s becoming more difficult for Washington to ignore Pyongyang’s pursuit of an arsenal that poses a viable threat to the U.S. mainland, Shin said.
