North Korea flight-tests updated Hwasong-11Ma-1 hypersonic glide missile

The post describes imagery from a North Korean test of an updated Hwasong-11Ma variant (Hwasongpho-11Ma-1 / Hwasong-11E-1) using an SRBM booster with a hypersonic glide vehicle. Novel elements include the apparent iterative “-1” configuration and a new six-axle TEL/launcher arrangement versus the earlier five-axle TEL, suggesting evolution toward an operationalized HGV-SRBM system with claimed maneuvering trajectory and ~900 km class range.
