President Moon Jae-in congratulated researchers today on the development of a new ballistic missile whose payload capacity is among the highest in the world.
He was speaking while on a visit to the Agency for Defense Development on... to inspect state-of-the-art weapons and encourage officials there as the agency marks 50 years since its launch.
His remarks are likely in reference to the Hyunmoo-4 -- which is presumed to have a range of up to 800 kilometers and be capable of carrying a warhead weighing up to two tons.
This is a security matter, so I can't talk about it freely in front of the camera, but I want to congratulate you on the development of a ballistic missile with one of the world's largest payload capacities.
Development of the missile began after South Korea and the U.S. agreed in 2017 to remove the restrictions on payload weight for South Korea's ballistic missiles.
The agency test-launched the missile earlier this year.
Moon also weclomed the successful development of a homegrown radar system for use on South Korea's KF-X fighter jet projects.
The president vowed continued support and investment for the defense industry... for self-defense and peace.
