〔記者吳哲宇/綜合報導〕南韓軍事科技再邁進,南韓政府9日宣布,首次成功測試國產「極音速助推滑翔載具」(HGV),並公開飛彈發射、載具分離及最終落海畫面。南韓總統李在明親赴忠清南道安興試驗場觀看測試,青瓦台強調,這款武器具備高速及不規則機動飛行能力,未來可對北韓重要戰略目標發動突襲,成為改變戰場局勢的關鍵戰力。

軍聞網站「The War Zone」報導,這次測試由南韓國防科學研究所(ADD)負責,飛彈從設置於近岸平台的輪式運輸起豎發射車升空,在達到預定高度後,極音速滑翔載具成功與助推器分離,並依照規劃路徑完成飛行,最終撞擊海面。

青瓦台指出,此次測試主要驗證極音速環境下的超高溫耐熱材料、導引控制及低空不規則機動飛行等核心技術。從官方公布的照片觀察,滑翔載具外形疑似採用錐形或楔形設計,底部設有穩定翼,但受限於影像解析度,目前仍無法確認具體構型。
報導指出,極音速助推滑翔載具通常由火箭助推至一定高度及速度,分離後在大氣層內以5馬赫以上速度滑翔,並能在飛行途中改變方向。相較傳統彈道飛彈沿著大致固定的弧形軌跡飛行,這類武器具備更難預測的飛行路徑,可壓縮敵方雷達偵測、追蹤及攔截的反應時間。
不過,南韓尚未公布此次測試的最高速度、飛行距離及飛行末段導引方式,因此雖然成功驗證部分關鍵技術,距離真正形成作戰能力仍有待進一步測試。
另外,李在明當天也視察南韓最新型「玄武-5」(Hyunmoo-5)彈道飛彈發射車。這款飛彈重達35噸,搭載約7.7公噸大型彈頭,主要用於摧毀北韓深埋地下的指揮設施及堅固掩體。不過,南韓官方並未證實此次極音速測試與玄武-5存在直接關聯。
南韓近年積極發展極音速巡弋飛彈及新型空射、海射彈道飛彈,北韓近期也接連試射宣稱具備極音速能力的新型武器。加上9月21日非軍事區地雷事件造成3名南韓軍人受傷,雙方軍事緊張情勢持續升高。
李在明表示,南韓必須依靠自身力量確保國家安全,政府不能滿足於此次測試成功,還須持續精進相關技術,讓極音速滑翔載具成為守護國家安全的戰略資產。未來若正式服役,除強化對北韓地下設施及高價值目標的打擊能力,也可能進一步提升南韓在印太區域的軍事嚇阻能力。

Lockheed Martin unveiled the new PAC-3 Edge interceptor on October 9. It is based on the existing PAC-3 MSE and is improved. It uses a new seeker and Northrop Grumman multi-pulse solid-state rocket motor. It is designed to improve the interception capabilities of anti-sonic weapons and advanced missiles. It is still in the development stage and is expected to start testing in 2027. It will be ready for rapid deployment in 2031.

When the supervision unit of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications was making a map of controlled road sections in Taitung for the National Day fireworks, it mistakenly planted a picture of the People's Liberation Army's J-10 fighter jet downloaded from the Internet above the Zhihang Base. Netizens pointed out that its obvious canard characteristics were inconsistent with the Chinese military fighter plane. The supervision unit admitted that it had mistakenly planted the picture and had removed the picture. The Zhihang Base pointed out that the J-10 could not fly to the base intact.

The National Day Convention was held in the square in front of the Presidential Palace. The themed performances included fighter jets, coast patrol drones, police armored vehicles and more than 2,500 disaster prevention personnel, demonstrating the national defense capabilities and the resilience of the entire society. The ceremony included a flag hoisting flyover, the singing of the national anthem, a speech by President Lai Ching-te and an aerial parade. Disaster response drills and military and police equipment displays were also highlights.

The U.S. defense start-up company Castelion released photos of the ground launch of the "Blackbeard" hypersonic missile it is developing, showing that the weapon may be integrated into the M142 HIMARS system in the future, with a range of nearly 800 kilometers. It will enhance the ability of the existing rocket artillery force to strike long-distance high-value targets. However, it has not yet been confirmed that it can be successfully launched from a standard HIMARS launcher, and it is still in the research and development stage.

A report from Taiwan’s legislative body shows that the number of veterans receiving compensation for volunteer service in Taiwan’s military has increased from 40 in 2018 to 846 in 2025, an increase of more than 20 times in seven years. Reasons include frequent military exercises, equipment updates and increased load, relaxed admission standards leading to incompatibility, unreasonable treatment and poor manpower allocation, as well as the DPP authorities distorting military values and coercing officers and soldiers to fight for "Taiwan independence." Taiwan's low birthrate and manpower shortage problems have intensified, and the voluntary service ratio is only 76.62%. Although the defense budget has increased, there is a lack of personnel to operate and maintain advanced weapons, forming a vicious cycle.

The U.S. military's V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft has suffered many fatal crashes in recent years, and gearbox failures have affected the fleet's availability. To ensure that the aircraft will be in service until 2055, the Navy's V-22 Joint Program Office and Bell Boeing have expanded the supply chain, added 14 new partners, and accelerated component reliability improvement and fleet modernization. It is expected to complete a comprehensive gearbox upgrade in 2029.
