I think SiAW will be filling that role.

Wow. South Korea really goes all out. Then again, North Korea is the most frightening country on that planet, so...

By accident I'd guess. Anybody report it?

No idea, it wasn't done in the recent history of the moderator log. Moved to Aviation & Space.

South Korean Hyunmoo-IV-2 cg from weeks ago.So beautiful slim line. love it!The IV-2 is very unique missile.It is only operate in the KVLS-II unlike the IV-1 which is massive weight and operate in land TEL.IV-2 will be the main fist of the Korean Navy to project long range precise penetration strike along with the Hyunmoo-III and Hycore etc.-It has large solid booster unlike any others. and the size is similar to Hyunmoo-IIC but narrow and slim for the best aerodynamic design.-KDDX, JSS(Joint Strike Ship) and KDX-III Batch-II Jeongjo the Great Aegis destroyers will have KVLS-II.-KVLS-II is largest common VLS in the world(Cell length is 9.5m+).

This along with S. Korea’s continued sales to Eastern European weapons markets is quite impressive. US politicians/ranking military should be taking note especially of what seems to be very impressive manufacturing capacity and capability.

Hyunmoo IV reminds me of the Indian Shaurya missile:

Artillery shells are what the North has in abundance---lots of shells in buried, one shot barrels?

South Korean Arms For Ukraine Would Be A Huge Deal And Putin Knows It

There are signs that South Korea might overturn its ban on weapons deliveries to Ukraine, which has prompted a dark warning from Putin.

They could start by allowing them to fire SAMs over the border at aircraft using glide bombs.

I wonder what kind of range increase you could expect from that new design. It doesn't look to be as big as trident.

 

[Scott Kenny]

I wonder what kind of range increase you could expect from that new design. It doesn't look to be as big as trident.

Does look roughly Poseidon-sized, though, which suggests a possible range of ~2500-3200nmi.

~1.9m diameter and ~10.4m long.

 

[Forest Green]

Where are you estimating the height from?

 

[kqcke for you]

I wonder what kind of range increase you could expect from that new design. It doesn't look to be as big as trident.

Its highly likely a version of the Hyunmoo-V maybe what he called the Hyunmoo-Vb? It makes the most sense given that they don't need long range and MiRV capabilitys but big amount of penetration and explosive.

Edit: i think the Hyunmoo-V had a range of ~300km

 

[Forest Green]

You mean 3000km surely?

 

[kqcke for you]

You mean 3000km surely?

Nope. Its more a big punch guy with an reported warhead weight of 8-10t. Tought it could be done / have an increased range with an smaller and lighter warhead.

Warhead size can be varied.
