South Korea has completed the development of new tactical ship-to-ground guided missiles which would enhance its ability to strike North Korea's key military equipment and facilities, the country's arms procurement agency said Tuesday.
South Korea will start mass-producing the missiles with two types of launch systems – inclined and vertical – next year after a seven-year project led by the Agency for Defense Development, according to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration.
The missiles have met all the required operational capabilities in a recent test for use by next-generation frigates. The shrapnel of the missiles' warhead can penetrate armored vehicles and destroy an area with the size of two football fields at a shot. The new missile is based on the SSM-700K Haeseong.
