Great Programme for Struggle Leading Korean-style Socialist Construction to Fresh Victory
On Report Made by Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un at 8th Congress of WPK

Pyongyang, January 9 (KCNA) -- A report was made on the work of the 7th Central Committee of the Party from Jan. 5 to Jan. 7, Juche 110 (2021) at the 8th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), an important political event in the development of our Party and revolution.

The super-large MLRS, a super-power attack weapon never to be seen in the world history of weapons, was developed in the field of national defence science, which was followed by the development of ultra-modern tactical nuclear weapons including new type tactical rockets and intermediate-range cruise missiles with the most powerful warheads in the world. This enabled us to seize a creditable edge in military technology.

The report also noted that in the period under review the field of national defense scientific research has conducted the research for perfecting the guidance technology for multi-warhead rocket at the final stage, finished the research into development of warheads of different combat missions including the hypersonic gliding flight warheads for new type ballistic rockets and is making preparations for their test and production.

It was made public with pride that the standard of the goal in the modernization of medium-sized submarine was set correctly and it was remodeled experimentally to open up a bright prospect for conspicuously enhancing the existing subsurface operational capabilities of our naval forces, that the study of the designing of new nuclear-powered submarine was in the stage of final examination after its completion and the designing of diverse electronic weapons, unmanned striking equipment, means of reconnaissance and detection and military reconnaissance satellite were completed, and that other achievements were made in the national defence researches of gigantic significance in developing the People's Army into a powerful one equipped with the strongest military muscle in the world.

Hypersonic Missile Newly Developed by Academy of Defence Science Test-fired

Sep. 29, Juche 110 (2021) Wednesday

The Academy of Defence Science of the DPRK test-fired a hypersonic missile Hwasong-8 newly developed by it in Toyang-ri, Ryongrim County of Jagang Province on Tuesday morning.

Pak Jong Chon, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau and secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, watched the test-launch with leading officials in the sector of national defence science.

The development of the hypersonic missile, one of 5 top-priority tasks of the five-year plan facing the field of strategic weapon for the development of defence science and weapon system set forth at the 8th Congress of the Party, has been pushed forward according to a sequential, scientific and reliable development process.

The development of this weapon system which has been regarded as a top priority work under the special care of the Party's Central Committee is of great strategic significance in markedly boosting the independent power of ultra-modern defence science and technology of the country and in increasing the nation's capabilities for self-defence in every way.

In the first test-launch, national defence scientists confirmed the navigational control and stability of the missile in the active section and also its technical specifications including the guiding maneuverability and the gliding flight characteristics of the detached hypersonic gliding warhead.

It also ascertained the stability of the engine as well as of missile fuel ampoule that has been introduced for the first time.

The test results proved that all the technical specifications met the design requirements.

Pak Jong Chon mentioned the strategic importance of the development of the hypersonic missile and its deployment for action. He also noted the military significance of turning all missile fuel systems into ampoules.

He stressed the need for all the defence science research teams and workers of the munitions industry to rise up with higher spirit to implement the decisions made at the 8th Party Congress true to our Party's policy of prioritizing defence science and technology and thus make greater successes in the work of increasing the country's defence capabilities thousand-fold.

Finally, after China, the DPRK is the only second superpower in the world to have indigenously mastered and developed HGV ICBMs.

• SM-3: Hwasong-8 is endo-atmospheric
  
• PAC-3: Hwasong-8 reduces your envelope to ~5km, energy-defeat, transforming you into a point-defense system
  
• THAAD: Hwasong-8 again, greatly reduced envelope.., but try it
  
• Hwasong-8: Guam within range

For Hwasong-8 HGV, the ballistic missile calculator[archive.vn]2[web.archive.org] gave a burnout speed of:
-> 4.2 [km/s] (~Mach 12)

This equates to following ranges:
MET ballistic = ~2'250 [km]
Good lift to drag ratio HGV = ~2'750 [km]

A very good lift to drag ratio HGV may reach the ~3'250 [km] needed to hit Guam with a 800 [kg] HGV

Some requests received lately, begging for the addition of the new North Korean Hwasong-8 (화성8호) HGV, as a strategic game-changer.

But how to implement this game-changer in the current vanilla game, known to be oversimplified with its unrealistic mechanics (orbital mechanics, aerodynamics, etc)?

Until further improvements by the game's developer, it will be difficult to model these new weaponries.
