Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, has visited a significant tank manufacturing facility and praised the advancements in the essential technology of domestically designed tanks, according to state media KCNA on Sunday.
He emphasized that the production of advanced tanks and armored vehicles is crucial for modernizing the military and achieving the ruling party’s objective of a ‘second revolution in armored forces.’
This visit occurs as part of a larger initiative to enhance North Korea’s conventional military capabilities alongside its nuclear and missile programs. Recently, Kim also participated in the launch of a new naval destroyer and the testing of new drones, among other weaponry.
South Korean and U.S. officials have expressed concerns that North Korea may be receiving technical and military assistance from Russia in exchange for supplying ammunition, missiles, and personnel for the conflict in Ukraine, although no specific details have been verified.
