Seoul: North Korea has successfully tested the solid fuel engine of its advanced medium-range hypersonic missile. South Korea's state media said on Wednesday that these super-powerful and high-speed missiles have been designed to accurately hit distant American targets.

Missiles that can fly at twice the speed of sound are called supersonic missiles, while missiles that can fly at five times or more speed are called hypersonic missiles. The speed of these missiles is so much that they are not even detected by radar.

In fact, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un had publicly vowed to challenge imperialist and colonialist America in 2021.

Some analysts believe that Kim Jong-un may be making such threats to get relief from the sanctions imposed on North Korea by Western countries led by the United States.

On the other hand, other scholars reject this belief. He believes that by default, An is a staunch leader. He cannot sign in opposition to communism. On the other hand, they are troubled by America's dominance in the Pacific Ocean.

During this test, Kim Jong Un said that this missile can hit the other side (east) of America. Our enemies should know this now. It was also said that after the successful testing of this missile, its complete system has been prepared and time table has been prepared and it has also been completely successful.

Observers say that among these hypersonic missiles, short-range missiles would have been designed to attack Glaum Island in the Pacific. America has a strong military base on this island. There is also a naval base with marine commandos, powerful fighter jets and an aircraft carrier force.

These missiles can destroy even Alaska. It can also target the US military base located on Okinawa island of Japan.

The point is plain and simple: these hypersonic missiles are designed by North Korea to counter missile systems provided to South Korea by the US, as well as missile systems developed by South Korea itself. On the other hand, Chang Chong Keun, a missile expert at South Korea's Research Institute for National Strategy, says that there is doubt as to the extent to which North Korea's claim of that speed is true.
