South Korea showed the Hyunmoo-V strategic complex: one of the most powerful non-nuclear ballistic missiles in the world

South Korea publicly showed its Hyunmoo-V strategic missile complex, the most powerful non-nuclear ballistic missile in the world.

The 36-ton Hyunmoo-V missile is equipped with a specially designed warhead weighing 8-9 tons, which defense experts say is capable of penetrating heavily fortified underground facilities.< /p>

"This ICBM-class missile is the most destructive conventional missile ever created,— defense analyst Mason noted, highlighting its unique design and power.

The missile system reportedly uses a cold start mechanism to prevent damage to the transporter-erector launcher (TEL) during fuel burn. TEL allows the missile to remain operational after deployment.

In addition to the V-series, South Korea is also developing and mass-producing other variants, including the Hyunmoo-II, III and IV missiles. The country is reportedly working on hypersonic cruise missiles and gliders, although details of these systems remain classified.

South Korea's strategic vision for the Hyunmoo-V includes plans to install the missile on a Joint Support Ship (JSS), making it the first ship of its kind in the arsenal. According to military sources, South Korea's Strategic Command aims to deploy more than 200 such missiles in the coming years, strengthening its deterrence capabilities in the region.

Hyunmoo-V is manufactured by South Korean defense company Hanwha Aerospace, which is a key player in the development country's missiles.
