Global network of journalists to declare Pei Road, according to South Korea, "Chosun Ilbo," July 17 news, South Korean military and national defense scientific research (ADD) has developed a range of 1,500 kilometers of the domestic cruise missile has been deployed for combat.

July 17 issue of the "Monthly Chosun" 8 issue, said South Korean military official said the National Defense Research Institute since 2008, began the development of a range of 1,500 kilometers of ground-ground missiles "basaltic-3C", and has successfully put into operation this year in the central theater in a unit deployed hundreds of missiles to the missile. It is reported that after only Han Jun, a range of 500 km of the "basalt-3A" and a range of 1,000 kilometers of "basaltic-3B" had actual combat deployment.

Range of 1,500 kilometers of "basaltic-3C" to complete development and operational deployment, the South Korean armed forces in addition to the range of North Korea's nuclear facilities, but also covers in the original Korean Pyongan Cheung, Ichon, Kangwon Province Korea County Daisy Li, the North Korean Ham Mirror Yu Ping South Road, Wonsan area workers "Scud", "Nodong" missile base in North Korea a major military installations.

"Basaltic -3" series is the latest Korean cruise missile, by the Korea Institute for National Defense Science and Development, South Korea defense company LIG NEX1 volume. "Basaltic-3C" 6 meters long cruise, from 53 to 60 cm in diameter and weighs 1.5 tons, the same engine used jet aircraft engines. The missile speed of Mach 1 (speed of 1260 kilometers) below the warhead weighing about 450 kilograms, the accuracy error of 1-2 meters, performance comparable to the U.S. tactical Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Korean long-range cruise missile technology than China media

The world has more than 500 km range cruise missiles, only the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Israel, six countries (should also include Pakistan), has developed a cruise missile over a range of 1,500 kilometers, only the United States, Russia, Israel and South Korea four countries.

Military official said: "After the basalt-3C into combat, if you encounter unexpected events, it can be accurate in the early war against North Korean missile threat to South Korea's military bases and war command Sheshi. In the past, north of Pyongyang, South Korea's missiles on The number of missile bases do nothing, but by the basalt-3C's debut, will be able to overcome this disadvantage. "missile launch by North Korea in 2001 amended the" Missile Technology Control Regime "(MTCR) provides that South Korea can develop limited ballistic missile range of 300 kilometers, but in the provisions, cruise missiles and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft (UAV) belonging to the same family, as long as the "warhead weight" not more than 500 kilograms, the missile's range is unlimited. With this in mind, the North Korean Ministry of National Defense for the development of ballistic missiles of the situation, since the last century 90's, more focused on the development of cruise missiles to overcome the disadvantages of the North Korean ballistic missile technology.

According to Korean media reported basaltic-3C data to crude estimates, if Han Jun missiles deployed in South Korea the West Coast, then China, Beijing, Shenyang, Tianjin, Qingdao, Shijiazhuang, Jinan, Shanghai, Nanjing, Changchun, Taiyuan, and dozens of large medium-sized cities in the "basalt-3C" ground to ground missiles like the range, North China, Northeast and central parts will be covered by the range of the missile. And if the missiles are deployed in the northern or eastern South Korea, or even cover the Japanese capital Tokyo, and Russia's Far East port of Vladivostok. Recently, the security situation in Northeast Asia for Multimodal speech events become very subtle, at this moment, South Korea suddenly announced the deployment of long-range cruise missiles, combat moves glaring.
