The CTM-290 missile, developed by Hanwha Aerospace, one of South Korea’s leading defense companies, is a guided missile with an impressive range of 290 km. The features of this weapon, including its flight range and warhead capabilities, are comparable to those of the ATACMS missile system developed by the United States, demonstrating advanced South Korean military technology.
The Homar-K ballistic test took place at the Anheung test facility on the west coast of the Republic of Korea, managed by the Korea Defense Technology Agency (ADD). This event marks a significant turning point for the Rocket and Artillery Forces.
Since the end of September 2005, when the 7th Tactical Missile Squadron under construction was dissolved, the Polish Armed Forces have had no short-range tactical ballistic missiles at their disposal.
The reason for this was the depletion of the lifespan and lack of spare parts for the four launchers of the 9K79 Toczka system acquired at the end of the 1980s.
The last launch of Toczka in the Polish Army occurred in May 1999, almost exactly a quarter of a century ago.
