Today, the Korean government released Hyunmoo-IIB missile footage. 'IIB' variant has considerably heavier warhead than other SRBMs.
The range is 550km, and the warhead weighs about 1 ton.
Notably, it has evasive maneuvering ability, having an active seeker, and strong anti-jamming function.
Mysterious two canister version Hyunmoo-II TEL was not revealed at the parade.
