The Military Impact of the North Korea Long-Range Strategic Cruise Missile 2025 Test
According to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the drill took place in the Yellow Sea to review the 'counter-offensive response posture' of long-range missile units. The missiles followed pre-set orbits for 10,199 seconds and 10,203 seconds, respectively. These flight times, roughly 2.8 hours, demonstrate the missiles' ability to fly complex paths to evade detection before hitting their designated targets.
