S. Korea unveils its most powerful missile 'Hyunmoo-5' on Armed Forces Day ceremony

국군의 날 기념식 '괴물 미사일' 현무-5 첫 공개

During a massive ceremony and a military parade that took place to celebrate the annual Armed Forces Day here in South Korea, the military unveiled its Hyunmoo-5 missile the country's most powerful ballistic missile yet.
Bae Eun-ji reports.

Thousands of people gathered in downtown Seoul on Tuesday, as this year's Armed Forces Day military parade took place involving over 3,000 troops.
The country's aerobatic flight team, the Black Eagles flew over the Gwanghwamun Square to celebrate the annual event.
Earlier in the day, a separate ceremony was also held in Seoul, showcasing the country's latest weapons systems.
Among them was the Hyunmoo-5 ballistic missile, unveiled to the public for the first time.
Capable of carrying one of the world's largest warheads, weighing up to eight tons it's powerful enough to hit an enemy's underground bunker at a depth of a hundred meters or more.
The missile is a key asset of the "Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation" plan, part of the country's three-axis defense system, that involves striking the North in retaliation for the regime's nuclear attack.
The military started to develop the Hyunmoo-5 in 2016, right after North Korea's fourth nuclear test, aimed at targeting the regime's command center in case of a nuclear attack from the North.

"The size and all of that was impressive, but what I was impressed with was that the way that the TEL erector launhcer was able to move sideways. If you notice very closely, the wheels move sideways, which is not easy. So it was a good showcase of capabilities."

The release of Hyunmoo-5 is likely to send a strong warning to North Korea, which has been engaging in a series of provocations, including the recent test of a new tactical ballistic missile, that was equipped with a 4.5-ton warhead.

Also on Tuesday, the U.S. B-1B bomber was seen flying over Seoul Airport making it the first time that the American strategic bomber has taken part in the Armed Forces Day ceremony.
The bomber, dubbed the "Swan of Death," can carry up to 57 tons of munitions and can fly at Mach 1.25, meaning that it could reach Pyongyang from Guam in just two hours.
North Korea strongly criticized the bomber's participation threatening that it will take retaliatory measures.

Hyunmoo is not a nuke. it's asteroid impact

Nuclear weapons are weapons that cannot be used internationally, but Hyunmoo 5, which is comparable to tactical nuclear weapons, is a usable weapon.

Even if you are not Korean, you can be proud because Korea is a country that was saved from the ashes of a tragic war with the help of many countries and the UN.

Without the help of the international community in depending freedom and peace, Korea would not exist as it does today. Many countries around the world are, to some extent, shareholders in Korean history, and most Koreans are grateful for this.

Even though many countries did not expect Korea to repay the financial or other forms of aid back then, they just helped out of their own reasons and goodwill.

Therefore Koreans will never forget the countries that sacrificed lives and blood for a small Asian country, then a colony and war-torn ruin, that few even knew the name of, literally had nothing in the past, vastly different from what Korea is today

And this event also has the meaning of showing gratitude to the various shareholder countries that Korea, which was like an orphan in the past, has now grown into a young man and partner protecting freedom and peace.

Not only the countries that directly dispatched troops or provided aid support during the war, but also after the war the countries and people who provided financial, food, medical and various support to Korea which was poorer than any other country in the world, are all partners, contributors, co-builders and allies of Korea's future.

So, thank you to all the countries and their people who helped Korea and now supporting peace and freedom, please enjoy watching the videos with pride!

이런 무기를 수십대가 같은 목표물을 향해 쏜다고 생각해봐라
생각만해도 그 결과가 끔찍하다
