[Anchor] K-weapons to prevent North Korea's threat will be unveiled today through the Armed Forces Day event, which marks the 76th anniversary of
gun.
Let's take a look at the meaning of today's ceremony with National Defense Commissioner Yang Wook. Welcome.
We invited them again, but looking at the on-site screen, the order of division has begun. I think it's a concept that we're still unfamiliar with, so please tell us the order.
[Yang Wook]
First of all, didn't our president have a fever earlier? And so you look around the units, the units that you want to split up, and then when it's done, the units march towards their superiors and they split up. The purpose of this is to show how to respond to actual wars and other situations by showing things like unit readiness, and things like division usually have a strong eventual character that is shown before or after the war. This is what we can see right now as this abbreviation of what we see in peacetime.
[Anchor]
We're seeing the division of the military corps. Each military's military discipline is being seen, and after the division, equipment re-dispatch will come out, so wouldn't the equipment discharge attract attention?
[Yang Wook]
I think our military is currently expecting a shortage of troops in the future. We have 500,000 troops now, but in the future, it will become a population cliff by 350,000, and the number of troops will decrease to 350,000. In response to that, we are preparing a complex combat system that is present or present, and I think a lot of such things will be introduced. Actually, not only did I feel while watching this event, but there were a lot of troops from the cadets.Nevertheless, isn't it a relatively simplified part? Rather than gathering all the different units and doing this, it seems that they have gathered only the power they want to show and proceeded like this.
[Anchor]
You're seeing a theft march by the cadets of the Korea Military Academy. It's a perfect angle. I think it must have been a long time to practice. How much do you usually practice?
[Yang Wook]
Usually, that doesn't mean that you've collected it for three months like North Korea. Usually, it starts from a month ago, a month and a half ago, and as far as I remember, the cadets started it in early September. I think we're in the 2nd grade. I also point it out in the army. There are many cases where 3rd and 4th graders are usually mobilized, but there are many 2nd graders in this area.
[Anchor]
When you walk now, you can see that your left arm is raised high and stretched back, but isn't there a fixed angle?
[Yang Wook]
It's basically set, but if you look at it, it's to kick your feet very high or to show exaggerated performance in the case of a North Korean military parade.I think Ma is trying to stop at showing the theft by raising his arm horizontally like this.
[Anchor]
It seems that the Army Infantry Battalion Special Forces are continuing now.
[Yang Wook]
The one that passed in front of it was probably the 2nd Quick Response Division. In the case of this 2nd rapid response division, it's a unit that can hit the center of the enemy. These are special forces units, and if you look at them, there are various equipment and clothes. There's a unit called the Akh Unit that has been dispatched to the UAE, and then the unit that dispatched to Lebanon, but not the unit members, and you see a variety of units, from blue berets to black counter-terrorism units.
[Anchor]
It is said that there are about 5,000 members of the walking force participating in today's ceremony. This is a little smaller than last year, right?
[Yang Wook]
It's slightly reduced.
[Anchor]
The city is scheduled to march this afternoon, and now they are celebrating together, but some point out that it is a waste of budget when conducting such an event. That's why I think the scale was slightly reduced, but in the case of last year, it was about 10 billion won, and this year it was 7.9 billion won.
[Yang Wook]
Basically, troops and equipment are not the money to buy equipment tremendously, but it's basically the cost of maintaining that and creating an event venue. The fewer troops, the less expensive it will be. That's why I've told you this over and over again. I would like to say that this is not the way to continue the event, but rather to send an important defense message.
[Anchor]
I think the scene you're seeing is past the cadets of the Naval Academy and you're watching the Navy mixed battalion soldiers. He's showing a very courageous and disciplined side.
[Yang Wook]
The UDT seal unit is wearing camouflage clothes. Next, there are naval aviation helicopters and such a Daejeon patrol aircraft in the back. The blue camouflage suit behind it will be our naval combat suit. So you can see the various naval forces with the sailors. Because the Navy can't be dragged on the ground on such a large scale unless it's a government-ship ceremony, the troops participate and show their prowess, and this is the Marine Corps. Our Marines are guarding the so-called northwestern islands where North Korea poses the most threats. Then, the Marine 1st Division is at the rear and has the ability to strike the rear of the enemy with landing in the event of an enemy attack.
[Anchor]
Army, Navy, all in order.Don't we usually do land, sea, air, and air? Is there a reason why this order has been decided?
[Yang Wook]
In fact, you can probably think of it as the number, the number of troops. There are about 365,000 soldiers in the army right now. There are about 69,000 sailors in the navy. But the Navy causes the combined forces of the Navy and Marine Corps. So there are 41,000 Marines and 28,800 Marines. The Air Force is about 65,000, which is the relatively smallest number. So please understand that it was called by the number of troops.
[Anchor]
When you finish marching to the Air Force, the division of walking will be over. After that, the division of the battle system between man and woman begins. Is there a reason to show the unmanned system first?
[Yang Wook]
This is because this is the future of our Republican Army. I told you earlier, too.Because the population cliff is so serious right now, the number of troops is decreasing a lot. So last year or so, the number of new target age troops entering the military was 240,000. But in 2038, 39, 40 years, it goes to the 120,000 mark. It's literally halving. That's why the threat disappears when the troops are in short supply like this? No. And the threat remains the same. Therefore, in the end, in order to respond to these parts, people must fight together using unmanned systems. That's why it's an organic-inorganic complex. It's not just about the unmanned system and fighting, but it's about people fighting like the unmanned system.
[Anchor]
I think they're marching right now. What kind of weapon is that?
[Yang Wook]
Most of the time, if you look at it, it looks like they're carrying drones on top of the vehicle.
[Anchor]
I see a drone with a very large middle wing.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. I think that's the same for our second-hand people. If you look at it now, the first thing passing by is the command of the combat system. There's a person on top of the vehicle. If you look at it now, that will be a K151 small tactical vehicle. It's a vehicle called the Korean version of Humdi. We produced a lot. Overseas exports are even being made, Poland.
[Anchor]
The one that looks small is a robot that walks on all four feet, right?
[Yang Wook]
Isn't there a limit to the movement of rough terrain, wheels, and other things like mountain terrain by showing them moving like a horse and walking four-legged like that? You can do that like an animal. Next, a small drone. Can you see the rifle mounted on it now? That's how you shoot your rifle in the air. so as to be able to shoot at aim
[Anchor]
Small drones also transport munitions and reconnaissance missions.
[Yang Wook]
Next, a small drone that can move on the ground if you look at it now. The wheels look very strange. It was designed to overcome the terrain by allowing the ketafiller to move forward and backward like a leg. If you look at it, it looks like a suicide drone. A drone with the nature of wandering in the sky and attacking when a target is found. Then there's a small reconnaissance drone. Next, you can see a division-level UAB, followed by a mid- and high-end reconnaissance drone. That's a used reconnaissance drone right now. It's probably a used unmanned aerial vehicle called the MQ or Reaper in the United States, which corresponds to that. That's a half-blood right now. That's a self-inflicted drone. There's a drone that Russia is using to attack Ukraine, and that's what Hafee is made of Israel. I can tell you that it's a copy of Israeli Hafee. This is the Navy's drone. I didn't see if it was S100 or S300, but it's S100. The S100 is a helicopter-type unmanned vehicle that we already use, and now our Navy is conducting unmanned and unmanned submarines through a system called Navy Seal Ghost. So if you look at it now, those things are appearing.
[Anchor]
In the case of unmanned submersible vehicles, where are they remotely controlled?
[Yang Wook]
Remotely controlled through wireless communication. So if it's a separate ship or if it's possible to communicate on the ground, it's usually controlled by a ship. Now the mechanized belt is coming out. And usually one of the most powerful forces of the Army is the mechanized fleet.
[Anchor]
From now on, viewers will be able to check out the missiles.
[Yang Wook]
Usually, through things like tanks and armored vehicles, they will show extraordinary mobility and become the core force of the offensive into the enemy's camp. If you look at the front...
[Anchor]
I could see the command. Now I see a vehicle with four wheels.
[Yang Wook]
Four-wheeler. If you look at it, it's a K808 white tiger with four sides on one side and eight sides on both sides. Now that eight-wheeler becomes the most important force of the future infantry division. You can think of all infantry moving in that armored vehicle. That's how much maneuvering is very important to us. Using a white tiger armored vehicle like that is one of the future aspects of the mechanized fleet. As you can see, K21 infantry fighting vehicle. The armored vehicle has an infantry transport vehicle, and it is called an infantry fighting vehicle because it can even fight by mounting a turret on top of it. Of course, there are people on board in the back. Next, the mortar is also called 120mm mortar, which is called a mortar. The 120mm mortar has tremendous firepower. It is so powerful that it cannot be compared to the 80mm mortar in the past. So it can be said that it shows greater firepower even than 105mm.
[Anchor]
You can also see the K2 black truck.
[Yang Wook]
The K2 Black Panther and the warship tank supporting it also follow. Obstacle pioneering. So named Rhino. That's how it is called obstacle development, but it mainly functions by including mine removal. And then bridge the back. It is such a vehicle that acts as a bridge.
[Anchor]
It's a car that makes legs.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. That one goes straight. Next, this is a car that becomes a bridge itself. It's called Suryong. What's up there unfolds on the water and becomes like a bridge. It can be promoted on its own, so it becomes like a boat and plays the role of a school bridge, and on top of that, if there are two of them, it's carrying a tram and moving.
[Anchor]
If you look at it as a kind of moving leg.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. It's a moving leg.
[Anchor]
It looks like the artillery battalion has started the march now.
[Yang Wook]
It has a lot of firepower. If you look at this, 105mm self-propelled gun, but it's said that 105mm gun is too old to use, but it was modified and used. Later, K9. It accounts for half of the global self-propelled artillery market.
[Anchor]
It's K9 that many viewers see through the news.
[Yang Wook]
After that, a vehicle built K10. K9 followed. Now it's Cheonmu. We call this a multiple rocket, and North Korea calls it a multiple rocket launcher. I can tell you that multiple rockets are one of the weapon systems that we are very confident in.
[Anchor]
It is said that if Cheonmu attacks, it covers three soccer fields.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. Then, Cheonmu is also equipped with an Army tactical ground missile called KTism, which can hit targets of 150km and 300km. And then the protective belt. Then I'll do an air defense mission. First, Arthur K. This was an artillery unit earlier, but it's an artillery detection radar. It plays a role of checking and suppressing enemy artillery fire. If you look at it now, following Cheonho and BihoBoCop. This is what Baekho put on top of the car stand. Next, the non-combustion at the back is the non-combustion battery, and it is called the non-combustion because it is equipped with a surface-to-air guided missile at the back.
[Anchor]
Then, it depends on what's in the common car, right?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. That missile is 1,000 horses on the same car. As you can see, we operate various anti-aircraft weapons systems.
[Anchor]
It's called an air defense command and control warning system.
[Yang Wook]
That's the air defense command and control warning system that plays a role in detecting things like North Korea's Munchi. I can see the Hwasaengbang reconnaissance vehicles. There are wheel types like that, and there are also armored types mounted on armored vehicles. On top of that, an admiral's vehicle follows. In fact, the role of our Defense Army's Defense Command is important because North Korea is very likely to attack with chemical weapons, so we are pursuing those capabilities to dispatch and respond to those forces.
[Anchor]
In the case of Hwasaengbang Admiral's car, it is also supporting the public and suppressing fires and preventing bird flu.
[Yang Wook]
Now, the landing armoured car.
[Anchor]
You can lie down on the sea and land at the same time, right?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. It's a mission to get to the coast by launching from Yeonseongjeong. Few countries have such a large number. in addition to the U.S. military Maybe in the United States, that vehicle is retired, so we're almost developing the next version of that vehicle.
[Anchor]
There's a Marine Corps mark on it.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. It's a vehicle that's only operated by the Marine Corps. Now, the three-axis system is divided. I think it'll be meaningful.
[Anchor]
Let's look at it in the order of the Korean three-axis system. For now.
[Yangwook]
The missiles on the Kill Chain mission will probably show a lot. So let's see what's coming in.
[Anchor]
Taurus in order, and Spice 2000,
[Yangwook]
I can see it. I'll explain one by one when the screen is close-up. That's the Taurus you see in front of you. It's a bit square. And then there's Spice2000 in the back. The one that stands out sharply in the front, and if you look at the back, there's also a slam egg. Now, interception systems corresponding to KAMD are appearing. I passed the Patriot Pack 3 earlier. This is a medium-range air-guided weapon. This is Elsaem. Long distance
[Anchor]
We're looking at the division of the three-axis system. What's currently being captured on the screen is Elsem. It is a device that can accurately intercept and destroy enemy missiles at an altitude of 40km or higher.
[Anchor]
Now we can see the appearance of Cheonmu.
[Yang Wook]
This one you see here is going to reveal Hyunmoo5 but this is not Hyunmoo5 right now.
[Anchor]
There was a prediction that we would be able to meet in a little while. For the current screen . .
[Yangwook]
Hyunmoo3. It appears to be a cruise missile launch vehicle.
[Anchor]
The launch tube is in the shape of a square. . .
[Yangwook]
Right now, that's...
[Anchor]
The last thing you see is a cylindrical shape.
[Yang Wook]
The cylindrical shape is Hyeonmu 5. It's been revealed for the first time. This is the first time it's been revealed. In fact, I also need to revise this a little. Last year, there was a rumor that only the Hyunmoo5 vehicle was disclosed, but I can confirm once again that Hyunmoo5 was not disclosed last year. I can tell you that Hyeonmu 5 is a very large missile that cannot be compared to the existing Hyeonmu 4 or the existing Hyeonmu series in terms of its cylindrical size. This is almost IRBM-class. If that reduces the weight of the warhead, it can fly very long distances. But we don't have that purpose, but we're doing more than a ton in the enemy's center. If you look at this, it shows the ability of that vehicle. It's moving diagonally. all the wheels of the track That's why fine adjustments and movements are possible. Such a launch vehicle is very important because posture control is very important because when a mobile launch vehicle fires, it needs to be in a position. So, you need to be leveled well, but it's very amazing if you have that kind of mobility. It's in the air now. KC330 Cygnus. It is a very excellent gas that can transport and refuel at the same time.
[Anchor]
A total of 47 vehicles will participate in the air today.
[Anchor]
A squadron flight is taking place. Three generations are passing by with smoke.
[Yang Wook]
Our PA, Poseidon. F-16 fighter jets are escorted on the left and right sides of the anti-submarine patrol aircraft.
[Anchor]
It's a very all-weather fighter.
[Yang Wook]
I can tell you that the F-16 is the most powerful fighter in our Air Force. So, almost 160 units or more. It's the most common model. In fact, I can tell you that it is the smallest fighter in the world, but it is maneuverable and cost-effective. It's probably FA-50 in the back.
[Anchor]
It's a domestically developed fighter.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. Actually, I'm on the same level as F-16's brother. So, in fact, the control system and characteristics are very similar. However, the range and things like that are slightly short, and then based on two people boarding, it was originally developed as a training T-50, but it is working alone.
[Anchor]
He's flying by himself right now.
[Yang Wook]
It looks like KF21 purple mae.
[Anchor]
It's a supersonic fighter developed by our country.
[Yang Wook]
Not only is it a supersonic fighter, but how does it look in appearance? It is a fuselage with stealth performance. Of course, it's not completely full stealth because it's not equipped with internal armaments.Ma has significantly reduced the radar detection area. In fact, almost all of them are localized except for engines, so the possibility of overseas export is expected to be quite free to export.I can tell you that Ma is still on the verge of actual deployment. From 2026 onwards...
[Anchor]
A large formation is entering from the left side of the venue.
[Yang Wook]
I think it's probably the Black Eagles. I need to take a closer look. No. It was F-35. F-35A. Stealth. That's a full-fledged stealth battle. I can tell you that one of the forces that North Korea is most afraid of is the F-35. It appears to be followed by F-15 and then by KF-16.
[Anchor]
In the case of the F-35, if divided into generations of fighters, it is 5th generation fighters.
[Yang Wook]
It's going to be a stealth fighter. I can tell you that it's a model that the United States sells only to very reliable allies.
[Anchor]
To fighters like that.
[Yang Wook]
B-1 seems to be flying up right now. Is it F-15K after B-1? First of all, a B-1B bomber came and it's the B-1 that North Korea's Kim Kang-il criticized earlier. B-1 is flying. After that, I think it's probably our Air Force's F-15K.
[Anchor]
It will fly from the U.S. military base in Guam to the Korean Peninsula in two hours.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. That's enough in Guam. That's because it's also the fastest American bomber that can fly at supersonic speeds. That's right. F-15K is following in the back and flying jointly. In fact, it's just a considerable amount of bombers like this B-1B, for example. It can be equipped with a 13-ton bomb. Then it's a conventional bomb that can destroy the North Korean leadership. That's why North Korea hates B-1 every time it flies.
[Anchor]
Even if the leaders of the North Korean regime hid in an underground bunker.
[Yang Wook]
Even if you hide, you just get 13 tons of bombs, almost 13 tons, underground and get rid of them. You remember getting rid of Hasan Nasrallah, right? It doesn't compare to that extent. It can wipe out the command with tremendous greater destructive power.
[Anchor]
I think your heart will be magnificent as you see the squadron flying up from the scene.
[Yang Wook]
You may have heard it on the spot, but honestly, listening to the sound of the fighter engine makes your heart race.
[Anchor]
It's Black Eagles' maneuvering flight right now.
[Yang Wook]
Special aircraft based on T-50 trainer aircraft. I'm flying a T-50B now.
[Anchor]
That's very orderly.
[Yang Wook]
That's called the length, and we usually talk about the distance between aircraft, but even if we're only separated by one plane, this is less than one plane. the gap between the gases It is not possible to say that he is maintaining that at a speed of more than 500 to 600 kilometers.
[Anchor]
In the case of the Black Eagles, didn't they win the award even when the competition was held in the world?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. I attended several events in the UK and continued to receive the Excellence Award. It is very different from the gases that Europe had. So if you do that, you usually fly with a trainer in Europe or other places, but most of the trainers are subsonic. But we have the T-50 supersonic, and it's a very mobile aircraft. As we prepare for a special flight with it, we can show various types of models that other countries cannot imitate. I think that's probably how the Thunderbirds of the U.S. Air Force and the Blue Angels of the U.S. Navy, which use fighter jets to fly acrobatically, can show that kind of maneuver.
[Anchor]
I think it's going to be very difficult to be a member of the Black Eagles, so why don't we go through a high-level training process?
[Yang Wook]
Even inside, in the end, we have no choice but to pick the best personnel. Because as I said, if you accidentally manipulate the aircraft even for a moment, not only me but also my colleagues are in danger. Then, if you hit another gas in that maneuver at that speed, a chain collision will inevitably occur. If you're watching it overseas, there are also incidents where you collide with each other and die during a special flight. In the end, it is an extremely dangerous flight, so we are flying with only the best members.
[Anchor]
This is the plane T-50 that the Black Eagles pilots are on right now. This is also domestic equipment, right?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. Didn't you see the FA-50 earlier? In fact, T-50 and FA-50 are the same gas. In the same aircraft, T-50 simplifies avionics and other things as much as possible, removes armament, and uses them only for pilot training. Then, the TA-50 model is equipped with an arm and conducts armed shooting training. Then, it was FA-50 that attached radar to it so that all devices could be mounted and only combatted. As we have developed various capabilities with one gas, I think that's why T-50 and FA-50 are sold a lot overseas.
[Anchor]
We've seen the formation of fighter jets over and over and over and over, we've seen missiles against the Kill Chain. Are such missiles installed and operated on such fighter jets?
[Yang Wook]
Of course. Among fighter jets, the F-15K is the most equipped. It's equipped with almost 11 tons of armaments. The B-29, the largest bomber of World War II, has a maximum width of 9 tons. It boasts a larger width than the old bomber. Next, the F-16 is the main model, and this one will probably be equipped with about 6 tons. I'm sorry. I need to check exactly. And the most important thing is to install bombs these days, and it's not that we don't drop without induction, which is called the dung bomb, but it's not a free-falling method, but if you put a kit in front of the dung bomb, it becomes a precision induction bomb. This is called Jadam, and we have a lot of Jadam. If you use Jada, you can accurately drop attacks on targets within 16 tons. So in fact, most of these models, including F-15K, KF-16, and FA-50, all have their own operational capabilities.
[Anchor]
And color clouds are created where FT-50 has passed and where Black Eagles has passed. Colorful gas clouds are created. I wonder what principle it is.
[Yang Wook]
That's why I left that on purpose to put a smoke tank, a smoke shield, to show the route of the flight. Of course, if you look at the sky, don't you sometimes have flight luck? Suddenly there's cold air, and as the aircraft goes through it, it creates a cloud of air that creates water vapor, and that's not a cloud of air, it's spreading a smokescreen to show the flight well.
[Anchor]
I have to do that on time, right?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. That's how you paint with that smoke screen. So I even draw the Taegeuk of the Taegeukgi. L.O. 러브.E's heart shape. I can show you various sides of me.
[Anchor] The Black Eagles are marking the end of the
Air Force Squadron flight, and I'm curious about how they'll finish today.
[Yang Wook]
As I usually remember, I've seen a lot. It usually ends by drawing the national flag, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do today.
[Anchor]
It's emitting a cloud of blue smoke. I'm looking forward to seeing what patterns will be made.
[Anchor]
This is a kind of K defense industry that Korea has. We've been looking at weapons systems together, so will the world be interested in what's on Armed Forces Day today?
[Yang Wook]
After Hyunmoo-5, nothing completely new has appeared. Nevertheless, I think they're probably very interested in watching it. I think North Korea is probably the most nervous one to look at.
[Anchor]
How do you feel in North Korea right now?
[Yang Wook]
I'm sure they're thinking about how to respond. After that, I said I would show you something, but North Korea doesn't have as many means as I think it will show now. Of course, North Korea is developing various weapons systems and nuclear weapons, which are equivalent to the fourth year of the five-year defense development plan. It's not like it used to be because we're busy providing supplies to the war in Ukraine. That looks like an arrow.
[Anchor]
in an arrow-shaped formation
[Yang Wook]
Like this, a large arrow is drawn in a formation.
[Anchor]
It's so cool. Speaking of North Korea, the U.S. presidential election is also coming up. What do you think about the possibility of North Korea continuing such high-intensity provocations, such as its seventh nuclear test or ICBM launch?
[Yang Wook]
I think there is enough. The 7th nuclear test is a very important event for North Korea. The North's nuclear threat will be completed only when the North, called Volcano-31, shows its warhead capabilities unveiled in March 2023. So I'm going to show you to complete this nuclear threat. But this could be linked to the U.S. presidential election.Ma can be seen in that context.In the end, North Korea will have to complete it by 2025. So even if you don't do it right now, you have to do it by next year. If not, North Korea's nuclear developers have made false reports to Kim Jong-un. So I'll tell you that there's always such a risk.
[Anchor]
I see. You saw the Armed Forces Day ceremony today, which marks the 76th anniversary of the founding of the military.
So far, I've been with Yang Wook, a researcher at the Asan Policy Research Committee. Thank you for talking today.

[Anchor] K-weapons to prevent North Korea's threat will be unveiled today through the Armed Forces Day event, which marks the 76th anniversary of
gun.
Let's take a look at the meaning of today's ceremony with National Defense Commissioner Yang Wook. Welcome.
We invited them again, but looking at the on-site screen, the order of division has begun. I think it's a concept that we're still unfamiliar with, so please tell us the order.
[Yang Wook]
First of all, didn't our president have a fever earlier? And so you look around the units, the units that you want to split up, and then when it's done, the units march towards their superiors and they split up. The purpose of this is to show how to respond to actual wars and other situations by showing things like unit readiness, and things like division usually have a strong eventual character that is shown before or after the war. This is what we can see right now as this abbreviation of what we see in peacetime.
[Anchor]
We're seeing the division of the military corps. Each military's military discipline is being seen, and after the division, equipment re-dispatch will come out, so wouldn't the equipment discharge attract attention?
[Yang Wook]
I think our military is currently expecting a shortage of troops in the future. We have 500,000 troops now, but in the future, it will become a population cliff by 350,000, and the number of troops will decrease to 350,000. In response to that, we are preparing a complex combat system that is present or present, and I think a lot of such things will be introduced. Actually, not only did I feel while watching this event, but there were a lot of troops from the cadets.Nevertheless, isn't it a relatively simplified part? Rather than gathering all the different units and doing this, it seems that they have gathered only the power they want to show and proceeded like this.
[Anchor]
You're seeing a theft march by the cadets of the Korea Military Academy. It's a perfect angle. I think it must have been a long time to practice. How much do you usually practice?
[Yang Wook]
Usually, that doesn't mean that you've collected it for three months like North Korea. Usually, it starts from a month ago, a month and a half ago, and as far as I remember, the cadets started it in early September. I think we're in the 2nd grade. I also point it out in the army. There are many cases where 3rd and 4th graders are usually mobilized, but there are many 2nd graders in this area.
[Anchor]
When you walk now, you can see that your left arm is raised high and stretched back, but isn't there a fixed angle?
[Yang Wook]
It's basically set, but if you look at it, it's to kick your feet very high or to show exaggerated performance in the case of a North Korean military parade.I think Ma is trying to stop at showing the theft by raising his arm horizontally like this.
[Anchor]
It seems that the Army Infantry Battalion Special Forces are continuing now.
[Yang Wook]
The one that passed in front of it was probably the 2nd Quick Response Division. In the case of this 2nd rapid response division, it's a unit that can hit the center of the enemy. These are special forces units, and if you look at them, there are various equipment and clothes. There's a unit called the Akh Unit that has been dispatched to the UAE, and then the unit that dispatched to Lebanon, but not the unit members, and you see a variety of units, from blue berets to black counter-terrorism units.
[Anchor]
It is said that there are about 5,000 members of the walking force participating in today's ceremony. This is a little smaller than last year, right?
[Yang Wook]
It's slightly reduced.
[Anchor]
The city is scheduled to march this afternoon, and now they are celebrating together, but some point out that it is a waste of budget when conducting such an event. That's why I think the scale was slightly reduced, but in the case of last year, it was about 10 billion won, and this year it was 7.9 billion won.
[Yang Wook]
Basically, troops and equipment are not the money to buy equipment tremendously, but it's basically the cost of maintaining that and creating an event venue. The fewer troops, the less expensive it will be. That's why I've told you this over and over again. I would like to say that this is not the way to continue the event, but rather to send an important defense message.
[Anchor]
I think the scene you're seeing is past the cadets of the Naval Academy and you're watching the Navy mixed battalion soldiers. He's showing a very courageous and disciplined side.
[Yang Wook]
The UDT seal unit is wearing camouflage clothes. Next, there are naval aviation helicopters and such a Daejeon patrol aircraft in the back. The blue camouflage suit behind it will be our naval combat suit. So you can see the various naval forces with the sailors. Because the Navy can't be dragged on the ground on such a large scale unless it's a government-ship ceremony, the troops participate and show their prowess, and this is the Marine Corps. Our Marines are guarding the so-called northwestern islands where North Korea poses the most threats. Then, the Marine 1st Division is at the rear and has the ability to strike the rear of the enemy with landing in the event of an enemy attack.
[Anchor]
Army, Navy, all in order.Don't we usually do land, sea, air, and air? Is there a reason why this order has been decided?
[Yang Wook]
In fact, you can probably think of it as the number, the number of troops. There are about 365,000 soldiers in the army right now. There are about 69,000 sailors in the navy. But the Navy causes the combined forces of the Navy and Marine Corps. So there are 41,000 Marines and 28,800 Marines. The Air Force is about 65,000, which is the relatively smallest number. So please understand that it was called by the number of troops.
[Anchor]
When you finish marching to the Air Force, the division of walking will be over. After that, the division of the battle system between man and woman begins. Is there a reason to show the unmanned system first?
[Yang Wook]
This is because this is the future of our Republican Army. I told you earlier, too.Because the population cliff is so serious right now, the number of troops is decreasing a lot. So last year or so, the number of new target age troops entering the military was 240,000. But in 2038, 39, 40 years, it goes to the 120,000 mark. It's literally halving. That's why the threat disappears when the troops are in short supply like this? No. And the threat remains the same. Therefore, in the end, in order to respond to these parts, people must fight together using unmanned systems. That's why it's an organic-inorganic complex. It's not just about the unmanned system and fighting, but it's about people fighting like the unmanned system.
[Anchor]
I think they're marching right now. What kind of weapon is that?
[Yang Wook]
Most of the time, if you look at it, it looks like they're carrying drones on top of the vehicle.
[Anchor]
I see a drone with a very large middle wing.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. I think that's the same for our second-hand people. If you look at it now, the first thing passing by is the command of the combat system. There's a person on top of the vehicle. If you look at it now, that will be a K151 small tactical vehicle. It's a vehicle called the Korean version of Humdi. We produced a lot. Overseas exports are even being made, Poland.
[Anchor]
The one that looks small is a robot that walks on all four feet, right?
[Yang Wook]
Isn't there a limit to the movement of rough terrain, wheels, and other things like mountain terrain by showing them moving like a horse and walking four-legged like that? You can do that like an animal. Next, a small drone. Can you see the rifle mounted on it now? That's how you shoot your rifle in the air. so as to be able to shoot at aim
[Anchor]
Small drones also transport munitions and reconnaissance missions.
[Yang Wook]
Next, a small drone that can move on the ground if you look at it now. The wheels look very strange. It was designed to overcome the terrain by allowing the ketafiller to move forward and backward like a leg. If you look at it, it looks like a suicide drone. A drone with the nature of wandering in the sky and attacking when a target is found. Then there's a small reconnaissance drone. Next, you can see a division-level UAB, followed by a mid- and high-end reconnaissance drone. That's a used reconnaissance drone right now. It's probably a used unmanned aerial vehicle called the MQ or Reaper in the United States, which corresponds to that. That's a half-blood right now. That's a self-inflicted drone. There's a drone that Russia is using to attack Ukraine, and that's what Hafee is made of Israel. I can tell you that it's a copy of Israeli Hafee. This is the Navy's drone. I didn't see if it was S100 or S300, but it's S100. The S100 is a helicopter-type unmanned vehicle that we already use, and now our Navy is conducting unmanned and unmanned submarines through a system called Navy Seal Ghost. So if you look at it now, those things are appearing.
[Anchor]
In the case of unmanned submersible vehicles, where are they remotely controlled?
[Yang Wook]
Remotely controlled through wireless communication. So if it's a separate ship or if it's possible to communicate on the ground, it's usually controlled by a ship. Now the mechanized belt is coming out. And usually one of the most powerful forces of the Army is the mechanized fleet.
[Anchor]
From now on, viewers will be able to check out the missiles.
[Yang Wook]
Usually, through things like tanks and armored vehicles, they will show extraordinary mobility and become the core force of the offensive into the enemy's camp. If you look at the front...
[Anchor]
I could see the command. Now I see a vehicle with four wheels.
[Yang Wook]
Four-wheeler. If you look at it, it's a K808 white tiger with four sides on one side and eight sides on both sides. Now that eight-wheeler becomes the most important force of the future infantry division. You can think of all infantry moving in that armored vehicle. That's how much maneuvering is very important to us. Using a white tiger armored vehicle like that is one of the future aspects of the mechanized fleet. As you can see, K21 infantry fighting vehicle. The armored vehicle has an infantry transport vehicle, and it is called an infantry fighting vehicle because it can even fight by mounting a turret on top of it. Of course, there are people on board in the back. Next, the mortar is also called 120mm mortar, which is called a mortar. The 120mm mortar has tremendous firepower. It is so powerful that it cannot be compared to the 80mm mortar in the past. So it can be said that it shows greater firepower even than 105mm.
[Anchor]
You can also see the K2 black truck.
[Yang Wook]
The K2 Black Panther and the warship tank supporting it also follow. Obstacle pioneering. So named Rhino. That's how it is called obstacle development, but it mainly functions by including mine removal. And then bridge the back. It is such a vehicle that acts as a bridge.
[Anchor]
It's a car that makes legs.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. That one goes straight. Next, this is a car that becomes a bridge itself. It's called Suryong. What's up there unfolds on the water and becomes like a bridge. It can be promoted on its own, so it becomes like a boat and plays the role of a school bridge, and on top of that, if there are two of them, it's carrying a tram and moving.
[Anchor]
If you look at it as a kind of moving leg.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. It's a moving leg.
[Anchor]
It looks like the artillery battalion has started the march now.
[Yang Wook]
It has a lot of firepower. If you look at this, 105mm self-propelled gun, but it's said that 105mm gun is too old to use, but it was modified and used. Later, K9. It accounts for half of the global self-propelled artillery market.
[Anchor]
It's K9 that many viewers see through the news.
[Yang Wook]
After that, a vehicle built K10. K9 followed. Now it's Cheonmu. We call this a multiple rocket, and North Korea calls it a multiple rocket launcher. I can tell you that multiple rockets are one of the weapon systems that we are very confident in.
[Anchor]
It is said that if Cheonmu attacks, it covers three soccer fields.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. Then, Cheonmu is also equipped with an Army tactical ground missile called KTism, which can hit targets of 150km and 300km. And then the protective belt. Then I'll do an air defense mission. First, Arthur K. This was an artillery unit earlier, but it's an artillery detection radar. It plays a role of checking and suppressing enemy artillery fire. If you look at it now, following Cheonho and BihoBoCop. This is what Baekho put on top of the car stand. Next, the non-combustion at the back is the non-combustion battery, and it is called the non-combustion because it is equipped with a surface-to-air guided missile at the back.
[Anchor]
Then, it depends on what's in the common car, right?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. That missile is 1,000 horses on the same car. As you can see, we operate various anti-aircraft weapons systems.
[Anchor]
It's called an air defense command and control warning system.
[Yang Wook]
That's the air defense command and control warning system that plays a role in detecting things like North Korea's Munchi. I can see the Hwasaengbang reconnaissance vehicles. There are wheel types like that, and there are also armored types mounted on armored vehicles. On top of that, an admiral's vehicle follows. In fact, the role of our Defense Army's Defense Command is important because North Korea is very likely to attack with chemical weapons, so we are pursuing those capabilities to dispatch and respond to those forces.
[Anchor]
In the case of Hwasaengbang Admiral's car, it is also supporting the public and suppressing fires and preventing bird flu.
[Yang Wook]
Now, the landing armoured car.
[Anchor]
You can lie down on the sea and land at the same time, right?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. It's a mission to get to the coast by launching from Yeonseongjeong. Few countries have such a large number. in addition to the U.S. military Maybe in the United States, that vehicle is retired, so we're almost developing the next version of that vehicle.
[Anchor]
There's a Marine Corps mark on it.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. It's a vehicle that's only operated by the Marine Corps. Now, the three-axis system is divided. I think it'll be meaningful.
[Anchor]
Let's look at it in the order of the Korean three-axis system. For now.
[Yangwook]
The missiles on the Kill Chain mission will probably show a lot. So let's see what's coming in.
[Anchor]
Taurus in order, and Spice 2000,
[Yangwook]
I can see it. I'll explain one by one when the screen is close-up. That's the Taurus you see in front of you. It's a bit square. And then there's Spice2000 in the back. The one that stands out sharply in the front, and if you look at the back, there's also a slam egg. Now, interception systems corresponding to KAMD are appearing. I passed the Patriot Pack 3 earlier. This is a medium-range air-guided weapon. This is Elsaem. Long distance
[Anchor]
We're looking at the division of the three-axis system. What's currently being captured on the screen is Elsem. It is a device that can accurately intercept and destroy enemy missiles at an altitude of 40km or higher.
[Anchor]
Now we can see the appearance of Cheonmu.
[Yang Wook]
This one you see here is going to reveal Hyunmoo5 but this is not Hyunmoo5 right now.
[Anchor]
There was a prediction that we would be able to meet in a little while. For the current screen . .
[Yangwook]
Hyunmoo3. It appears to be a cruise missile launch vehicle.
[Anchor]
The launch tube is in the shape of a square. . .
[Yangwook]
Right now, that's...
[Anchor]
The last thing you see is a cylindrical shape.
[Yang Wook]
The cylindrical shape is Hyeonmu 5. It's been revealed for the first time. This is the first time it's been revealed. In fact, I also need to revise this a little. Last year, there was a rumor that only the Hyunmoo5 vehicle was disclosed, but I can confirm once again that Hyunmoo5 was not disclosed last year. I can tell you that Hyeonmu 5 is a very large missile that cannot be compared to the existing Hyeonmu 4 or the existing Hyeonmu series in terms of its cylindrical size. This is almost IRBM-class. If that reduces the weight of the warhead, it can fly very long distances. But we don't have that purpose, but we're doing more than a ton in the enemy's center. If you look at this, it shows the ability of that vehicle. It's moving diagonally. all the wheels of the track That's why fine adjustments and movements are possible. Such a launch vehicle is very important because posture control is very important because when a mobile launch vehicle fires, it needs to be in a position. So, you need to be leveled well, but it's very amazing if you have that kind of mobility. It's in the air now. KC330 Cygnus. It is a very excellent gas that can transport and refuel at the same time.
[Anchor]
A total of 47 vehicles will participate in the air today.
[Anchor]
A squadron flight is taking place. Three generations are passing by with smoke.
[Yang Wook]
Our PA, Poseidon. F-16 fighter jets are escorted on the left and right sides of the anti-submarine patrol aircraft.
[Anchor]
It's a very all-weather fighter.
[Yang Wook]
I can tell you that the F-16 is the most powerful fighter in our Air Force. So, almost 160 units or more. It's the most common model. In fact, I can tell you that it is the smallest fighter in the world, but it is maneuverable and cost-effective. It's probably FA-50 in the back.
[Anchor]
It's a domestically developed fighter.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. Actually, I'm on the same level as F-16's brother. So, in fact, the control system and characteristics are very similar. However, the range and things like that are slightly short, and then based on two people boarding, it was originally developed as a training T-50, but it is working alone.
[Anchor]
He's flying by himself right now.
[Yang Wook]
It looks like KF21 purple mae.
[Anchor]
It's a supersonic fighter developed by our country.
[Yang Wook]
Not only is it a supersonic fighter, but how does it look in appearance? It is a fuselage with stealth performance. Of course, it's not completely full stealth because it's not equipped with internal armaments.Ma has significantly reduced the radar detection area. In fact, almost all of them are localized except for engines, so the possibility of overseas export is expected to be quite free to export.I can tell you that Ma is still on the verge of actual deployment. From 2026 onwards...
[Anchor]
A large formation is entering from the left side of the venue.
[Yang Wook]
I think it's probably the Black Eagles. I need to take a closer look. No. It was F-35. F-35A. Stealth. That's a full-fledged stealth battle. I can tell you that one of the forces that North Korea is most afraid of is the F-35. It appears to be followed by F-15 and then by KF-16.
[Anchor]
In the case of the F-35, if divided into generations of fighters, it is 5th generation fighters.
[Yang Wook]
It's going to be a stealth fighter. I can tell you that it's a model that the United States sells only to very reliable allies.
[Anchor]
To fighters like that.
[Yang Wook]
B-1 seems to be flying up right now. Is it F-15K after B-1? First of all, a B-1B bomber came and it's the B-1 that North Korea's Kim Kang-il criticized earlier. B-1 is flying. After that, I think it's probably our Air Force's F-15K.
[Anchor]
It will fly from the U.S. military base in Guam to the Korean Peninsula in two hours.
[Yang Wook]
That's right. That's enough in Guam. That's because it's also the fastest American bomber that can fly at supersonic speeds. That's right. F-15K is following in the back and flying jointly. In fact, it's just a considerable amount of bombers like this B-1B, for example. It can be equipped with a 13-ton bomb. Then it's a conventional bomb that can destroy the North Korean leadership. That's why North Korea hates B-1 every time it flies.
[Anchor]
Even if the leaders of the North Korean regime hid in an underground bunker.
[Yang Wook]
Even if you hide, you just get 13 tons of bombs, almost 13 tons, underground and get rid of them. You remember getting rid of Hasan Nasrallah, right? It doesn't compare to that extent. It can wipe out the command with tremendous greater destructive power.
[Anchor]
I think your heart will be magnificent as you see the squadron flying up from the scene.
[Yang Wook]
You may have heard it on the spot, but honestly, listening to the sound of the fighter engine makes your heart race.
[Anchor]
It's Black Eagles' maneuvering flight right now.
[Yang Wook]
Special aircraft based on T-50 trainer aircraft. I'm flying a T-50B now.
[Anchor]
That's very orderly.
[Yang Wook]
That's called the length, and we usually talk about the distance between aircraft, but even if we're only separated by one plane, this is less than one plane. the gap between the gases It is not possible to say that he is maintaining that at a speed of more than 500 to 600 kilometers.
[Anchor]
In the case of the Black Eagles, didn't they win the award even when the competition was held in the world?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. I attended several events in the UK and continued to receive the Excellence Award. It is very different from the gases that Europe had. So if you do that, you usually fly with a trainer in Europe or other places, but most of the trainers are subsonic. But we have the T-50 supersonic, and it's a very mobile aircraft. As we prepare for a special flight with it, we can show various types of models that other countries cannot imitate. I think that's probably how the Thunderbirds of the U.S. Air Force and the Blue Angels of the U.S. Navy, which use fighter jets to fly acrobatically, can show that kind of maneuver.
[Anchor]
I think it's going to be very difficult to be a member of the Black Eagles, so why don't we go through a high-level training process?
[Yang Wook]
Even inside, in the end, we have no choice but to pick the best personnel. Because as I said, if you accidentally manipulate the aircraft even for a moment, not only me but also my colleagues are in danger. Then, if you hit another gas in that maneuver at that speed, a chain collision will inevitably occur. If you're watching it overseas, there are also incidents where you collide with each other and die during a special flight. In the end, it is an extremely dangerous flight, so we are flying with only the best members.
[Anchor]
This is the plane T-50 that the Black Eagles pilots are on right now. This is also domestic equipment, right?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. Didn't you see the FA-50 earlier? In fact, T-50 and FA-50 are the same gas. In the same aircraft, T-50 simplifies avionics and other things as much as possible, removes armament, and uses them only for pilot training. Then, the TA-50 model is equipped with an arm and conducts armed shooting training. Then, it was FA-50 that attached radar to it so that all devices could be mounted and only combatted. As we have developed various capabilities with one gas, I think that's why T-50 and FA-50 are sold a lot overseas.
[Anchor]
We've seen the formation of fighter jets over and over and over and over, we've seen missiles against the Kill Chain. Are such missiles installed and operated on such fighter jets?
[Yang Wook]
Of course. Among fighter jets, the F-15K is the most equipped. It's equipped with almost 11 tons of armaments. The B-29, the largest bomber of World War II, has a maximum width of 9 tons. It boasts a larger width than the old bomber. Next, the F-16 is the main model, and this one will probably be equipped with about 6 tons. I'm sorry. I need to check exactly. And the most important thing is to install bombs these days, and it's not that we don't drop without induction, which is called the dung bomb, but it's not a free-falling method, but if you put a kit in front of the dung bomb, it becomes a precision induction bomb. This is called Jadam, and we have a lot of Jadam. If you use Jada, you can accurately drop attacks on targets within 16 tons. So in fact, most of these models, including F-15K, KF-16, and FA-50, all have their own operational capabilities.
[Anchor]
And color clouds are created where FT-50 has passed and where Black Eagles has passed. Colorful gas clouds are created. I wonder what principle it is.
[Yang Wook]
That's why I left that on purpose to put a smoke tank, a smoke shield, to show the route of the flight. Of course, if you look at the sky, don't you sometimes have flight luck? Suddenly there's cold air, and as the aircraft goes through it, it creates a cloud of air that creates water vapor, and that's not a cloud of air, it's spreading a smokescreen to show the flight well.
[Anchor]
I have to do that on time, right?
[Yang Wook]
That's right. That's how you paint with that smoke screen. So I even draw the Taegeuk of the Taegeukgi. L.O. 러브.E's heart shape. I can show you various sides of me.
[Anchor] The Black Eagles are marking the end of the
Air Force Squadron flight, and I'm curious about how they'll finish today.
[Yang Wook]
As I usually remember, I've seen a lot. It usually ends by drawing the national flag, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do today.
[Anchor]
It's emitting a cloud of blue smoke. I'm looking forward to seeing what patterns will be made.
[Anchor]
This is a kind of K defense industry that Korea has. We've been looking at weapons systems together, so will the world be interested in what's on Armed Forces Day today?
[Yang Wook]
After Hyunmoo-5, nothing completely new has appeared. Nevertheless, I think they're probably very interested in watching it. I think North Korea is probably the most nervous one to look at.
[Anchor]
How do you feel in North Korea right now?
[Yang Wook]
I'm sure they're thinking about how to respond. After that, I said I would show you something, but North Korea doesn't have as many means as I think it will show now. Of course, North Korea is developing various weapons systems and nuclear weapons, which are equivalent to the fourth year of the five-year defense development plan. It's not like it used to be because we're busy providing supplies to the war in Ukraine. That looks like an arrow.
[Anchor]
in an arrow-shaped formation
[Yang Wook]
Like this, a large arrow is drawn in a formation.
[Anchor]
It's so cool. Speaking of North Korea, the U.S. presidential election is also coming up. What do you think about the possibility of North Korea continuing such high-intensity provocations, such as its seventh nuclear test or ICBM launch?
[Yang Wook]
I think there is enough. The 7th nuclear test is a very important event for North Korea. The North's nuclear threat will be completed only when the North, called Volcano-31, shows its warhead capabilities unveiled in March 2023. So I'm going to show you to complete this nuclear threat. But this could be linked to the U.S. presidential election.Ma can be seen in that context.In the end, North Korea will have to complete it by 2025. So even if you don't do it right now, you have to do it by next year. If not, North Korea's nuclear developers have made false reports to Kim Jong-un. So I'll tell you that there's always such a risk.
[Anchor]
I see. You saw the Armed Forces Day ceremony today, which marks the 76th anniversary of the founding of the military.
So far, I've been with Yang Wook, a researcher at the Asan Policy Research Committee. Thank you for talking today.
