Xinhua news agency, Pyongyang, September 13 (reporter Jiang Yaping, Hong Kerun) - according to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on the 13th, the North Korean Academy of defense Sciences successfully tested and fired a newly developed long-range cruise missile on the 11th and 12th, respectively.
It is reported that the launched long-range cruise missile flew for 7580 seconds and accurately hit the target set 1500 kilometers away. The test results show that the technical indexes such as the propulsion of the newly developed turbine blower engine, the flight control performance of the missile and the accuracy of terminal guidance all meet the design requirements.
KCNA said that the research and development of this weapon system is of great strategic significance. North Korea has another effective means of containment in more firmly ensuring national security and effectively suppressing the anti DPRK military activities of hostile forces.
