The US military does not believe that hypersonic weapons being developed by Pyongyang pose a threat to the United States, the head of the North American Joint Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), US Air Force General Glen Van Herk, said at a briefing at the Pentagon after reports of a hypersonic missile test in the DPRK. His words are quoted by Interfax .

"I understand that the intelligence community is still evaluating North Korea's statements about testing a hypersonic missile... According to my estimates, the hypersonic weapons that the DPRK claims to have tested there will not be a threat to the United States," Van Hurt said.

On September 28, North Korea launched a new ballistic missile with a hypersonic warhead, which is similar to the warhead of the Pershing-2 missile. For the first time in North Korea, a new fuel storage technology and a guided hypersonic warhead were used in the Hwasong-8 rocket.

The message of the DPRK Central Telegraph Agency (KCNA) says that this missile was the first in North Korea to use ampulized storage of liquid fuel. This technology ensures the long-term maintenance of the missile on combat duty.
