North Korea tests hypersonic missile: What is this warhead, how does it work?

Firstpost  

Another month and here comes a new missile test from North Korea. North Korea’s first hypersonic missile test in 2021 featured a glider-shaped warhead, while a 2022 launch used what South Korean military officials and analysts said was actually a conical manoeuvrable re-entry vehicle, or a ballistic missile warhead capable of manoeuvring to hit a target. AP North Korea fired its first hypersonic missile in September 2021, calling it a “strategic weapon” designed to bolster its defence capabilities, though some South Korean analysts described the test as a failure. In January 2022, Seoul officials reported that North Korea tested another potentially hypersonic missile that flew at relatively low altitudes at up to 10 times the speed of sound. “North Korea appears to be trying to develop hypersonic missiles and intermediate-range ballistic missiles based on solid propellant rocket boosters,” said Chang Young-keun, a professor at Korea Aerospace University.
