With a ceremony to mark the 76th anniversary of Armed Forces Day, the city parade was held for the second consecutive year.

This afternoon, at the city march, which lasted about an hour from Sungnyemun Gate to Gwanghwamun in Seoul, more than 5,000 soldiers participated, and various advanced weapon systems were shown as mechanized discharge, artillery, and protective batteries continued.

Various air forces also flew over the venue, from the supersonic multi-purpose fighter FA-50 to the Air Force's flagship fighter KF-16 and the fifth-generation stealth fighter F-35A, a key Kill Chain force.

In addition, various military assets such as K2 tanks, K9 self-propelled artillery, reconnaissance drones, and unmanned submersible vehicles that have expanded overseas were revealed.

In addition, Korean-style three-axis system assets for North Korea's nuclear and missile response, such as L-SAM (L-SAM), a long-range surface-to-air guided missile, were also unveiled at the city parade, but Hyunmoo-5, who debuted at the previous ceremony, did not participate.

Earlier, at a ceremony held in the morning at Seoul Airport, Hyeonmu-5, called the "Monster Missile" was unveiled to the public for the first time because of its destructive power comparable to tactical nuclear weapons.

Hyeonmu-5 is a missile that destroys an underground bunker where the North Korean command is hiding, weighing about 8 tons of warheads, and is a means of mass retaliation, one of the three-axis systems of the Korean style.

In addition, the B-1B (non-primary) Lancer, a strategic bomber of the U.S. Air Force called the 'Swan of Death', also flew over the Armed Forces Day celebration for the first time.
