North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversaw a test of the North Korea long-range strategic cruise missile 2025 on Dec 28. He vowed 'unlimited' nuclear force development.
It flew for over 10,000 seconds before striking its target. North Korea leader Kim Jong-un oversaw a launching drill of a long-range strategic cruise missile on December 28, 2025, calling for the 'unlimited and sustained' development of the state's nuclear combat capabilities.
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.
Kim's Vision for Sustained Nuclear Expansion
Kim Jong-un affirmed that the Workers' Party of Korea would continue to prioritize the development of the state nuclear combat force. This move signals a year-end message of strength from Pyongyang as 2025 concludes. Experts suggest that the focus on cruise missiles complements North Korea's ballistic arsenal, providing a more versatile and difficult-to-intercept means of delivering tactical nuclear warheads.
