South Korea Displays New Cuise Missiles In The Largest Military Parade In A Decade


S. Korea Parades Cruise Missiles, Military Hardware to Deter Pyongyang -- Voice of America

SEOUL — South Korea held a massive military parade on Tuesday; mainly to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the founding of its armed forces, but also to deter provocations from North Korea. The show of strength comes as top U.S. defense officials visit the South Korean capital, Seoul, for talks on security and the military defense of South Korea.

During the parade, South Korea publicly displayed for the first time locally-developed cruise missiles capable of precision strikes in North Korea: the Hyunmu-2, with a range of 500 kilometers, and the Hyunmu-3, with a range of 1,000 kilometers.

The parade ran through the South Korean capital for several hours and included thousands of soldiers, military vehicles and tanks.

In a live broadcast, jets performed aerial acrobatics for the audience of dignitaries and commanders at Seoul Air Base in Seongnam, just south of the capital.
