North Korea test fired a “hypersonic missile” this week that successfully hit a target, state news agency KCNA reported on Thursday, as the country pursues new military capabilities amid stalled denuclearisation talks.
The launch on Wednesday was the first by North Korea since October and was detected by several militaries in the region, drawing criticism from governments in the United States, South Korea, and Japan.
North Korea first tested a hypersonic missile in September, joining a race headed by major military powers to deploy the advanced weapons system.
Unlike ballistic missiles that fly into outer space before returning on steep trajectories, hypersonic weapons fly towards targets at lower altitudes and can achieve more than five times the speed of sound – or about 6,200 km per hour (3,850 mph).
“The successive successes in the test launches in the hypersonic missile sector have strategic significance in that they hasten a task for modernising strategic armed force of the state,” the KCNA report said.
In Wednesday’s test, the “hypersonic gliding warhead” detached from its rocket booster and manoeuvred 120 km (75 miles) laterally before it “precisely hit” a target 700 km (430 miles) away, KCNA reported. It said the test also confirmed components such as flight control and its ability to operate in the winter.
The missile demonstrated its ability to combine “multi-step glide jump flight and strong lateral manoeuvring,” KCNA said.
More manoeuvrable missiles and warheads are likely to be aimed at being able to overcome missile defences like those wielded by South Korea and the United States, analysts have said.
“My impression is that the North Koreans have identified hypersonic gliders as a potentially useful qualitative means to cope with missile defence,” said Ankit Panda, a senior fellow at the US-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Photos of the missile used in Wednesday’s test suggest it is a different version from the one tested last year, and was probably first unveiled at a defence exhibition in Pyongyang in October, he added.
“They likely set up at least two separate development programmes,” Panda said. “One of these was the Hwasong-8, which was tested in September. This missile, which shares a few features in common with the Hwasong-8, is another.”
The US state department said the test violated multiple UN security council resolutions and poses a threat to North Korea’s neighbours and the international community.
So North Korea can do the hypersonic bogie, but the US can’t? Pinch of salt springs to mind.
America is a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for TWO reasons:
1: Fornication.
2: Homosexuality.
Jude 7.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to FORNICATION, and going after STRANGE FLESH, (Homosexuality) are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire.
Do you see any FORNICATION and or HOMOSEXUALITY in America ?
Do you think that FIRE may be coming ?
America turned down God, it has SPAT IN HIS FACE
“The last and seventh vision was wherein I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America.”
WILLIAM BRANHAM.
America is doomed, it will be destroyed as was Sodom.
The Rapture is the only way out, the Lord sent His prophet to direct His Bride.
God has raised the dead on FIVE occasions through His chosen vessel.
God was photographed SIX times, (Veiled in the form of the Pillar of Fire) with His chosen vessel.
God`s Chosen Vessel is William Branham.

Yet another hi-tech boogieman that doesn’t negate the theory of mutual assured destruction even just a little bit, life just keeps coming at you. It is to laugh.
Look at the checkerboard pattern on the top of those May Sonic Missles…
Hmmm.. Another reckless North Korea behaviour & reckless test of Hyper-sonic missiles ? IMO … Reckless behaviour of Kim Jong Un ??

The most disastrous, yet common practices in the world-wide Christian Church continue to be the mishandling of Scripture.
Is the Pre-Tribulational Rapture Teaching a Hoax? (Pt. 1) https://www.rockofoffence.com/rapture-hoax1.html
Those willing to take a careful look at the Bible will see that the rapture theory doesn’t stand up to the scrutiny of God’s Word. https://www.ucg.org/world-news-and-prophecy/the-rapture-a-popular-but-false-doctrine
Please explain Matthew 24:40-41. Does this scripture validate the belief in the “rapture”?
Many church denominations cite this scripture as the source of their belief in the “rapture.” They believe that, prior to the time of the Great Tribulation, God will supernaturally “whisk away” all Christians into Heaven. The following scriptures show the error of this belief.

I very much doubt that NK has this new technology. They have missiles. A missile is an aluminum tube with nose cone at one end and a rocket motor at the other end. Germany had that in WW2. These follow parabolic arcs, the are launched, speed up, then run out of fuel and coast their way to the target. Think Saddam Scuds. NK has that.
NK has missiles with guidance systems. Hypersonic gliding missiles with escape and evade technology. Not a chance.

The US will NOT start WW3 so long as they are behind with hypersonic missiles.
But the USAmerika slavishly whored to Israel will not leave eastern Europe alone because so many precious Jews live there. Kagan and Nuland have big hardons to f-ck with Russia domination in their homeland states.
But Russia trumped the west by getting 5 years ahead in hypersonic missiles.
(((the Jew cries out in pain)))
Oh Vey, vee cannot rape eastern Europe until we contain Russia, vat shall vee do?
Vee must get our country the United States of Israel to attack Russia in Ukraine and bleed Russia vile Israel attacks Iran from the south. Vee have a plan, our Torah is our guiding light.
