South Korean 'Carrier-Killer' ASM?

Or at the least, potential as a modern self-defence anti-ship capability showing more strategic independence of things to come. (Purpotedly based on the Yakhont design and capability?)

Any other info? Is it a legit program? Just curious… and sorry if it’s been discussed here before.

carrier killer? or Aegis killer?

“South Korea is developing a supersonic cruise missile that can be used to attack aircraft carriers, Aegis ships and up-to-date destroyers.”

Such labels are meaningless.

Just buy a few Brahmos if the Russians/Indians are willing – they might not if there are concerns of the US inspecting these missiles.

USS.
