SEOUL (AFP) Aug 26, 2003
South Korea has successfully test-fired a new anti-ship cruise missile
for use by destroyers as early as next year, reports said Tuesday.
Yonhap news agency and the Chosun newspaper said the missile, with a
range of 150 kilometers (90 miles), was designed by a state research
institute affiliated with the defense ministry.
"The domestic cruise missile was successfully test-fired," an unnamed
military official was quoted as saying.
The ministry refused to conform the report. "Our policy is not to
confirm a sensitive report on weapons development," a ministry
official told AFP.
The missile hit a target located 70 kilometers off the east coast
after being fired from a navy vessel, Yonhap said, adding the missile
could be deployed aboard new destroyers as early as next year.
In April, South Korea launched a 4,500-tonne KDX-II destroyer capable
of waging anti-ship and anti-submarine warfare as well as electronic
surveillance operations.
South Korea has pushed forward with its own missile defense system to
counter North Korea's artillery and short-range missiles.
