Missile Hyunmoo-4
Description
The Hyunmoo-4 is a surface-to-surface ballistic missile operated by the Republic of Korea Armed Forces. Its development followed a 2017 agreement to revise missile guidelines regarding payload limitations. The system is a variant of the Hyunmoo-2C.
The missile is designed to strike hardened underground military facilities, command centers, and leadership bunkers. It is equipped with a conventional warhead. The system utilizes a payload capacity that is increased relative to earlier variants in the series to facilitate the penetration and destruction of reinforced structures.
