North Korea's military is becoming one of the most advanced, with the DPRK troops mastering modern warfare as Kim Jong-un repeatedly stresses the need to offset a US-driven military buildup in the Asia-Pacific region posing a "serious threat" to the country’s security.
The North Korean leader hailed the "great progress in the core technology of Korean-style tanks" as he personally inspected a key tank factory, state media KCNA reported.
Kim Jong-un emphasized that producing next-gen tanks and armored vehicles is crucial for modernizing the military and achieving the ruling party's goal of a "second revolution in armored force."
North Korea's military is rapidly evolving into a high-tech force.
The country’s leader recently attended the unveiling of a new guided missile destroyer, Choe Hyon, and tests of new reconnaissance and attack drones.
Pyongyang launched combat tests of its new multi-mission destroyer, including supersonic/strategic cruise missiles, anti-aircraft systems, and ship-based artillery, on April 28–29.
Kim Jong-un called the destroyer’s firepower system “very wonderful.”
