North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who was present at the military maneuvers, personally piloted the new combat vehicle during a training battle.
North Korea tested a new main battle tank during military exercises. This was reported by the state news agency KCNA, Yonhap reports.
It was noted that the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, who was present at the military maneuvers, personally commanded the new combat vehicle during a training match between tank units and called this tank who is the most powerful in the world.
Kim emphasized the “special role of tank crews in modern warfare” and ordered them to conduct intensive training and practice battles that simulate real war so that they can quickly and accurately carry out any combat mission in the unexpected situation.
Pyongyang previously showed a new tank at a military parade in October 2020, but South Korean experts, after reviewing an image of the tank from recent exercises, noticed that it looked like an updated version.
As you know, the DPRK has been conducting live-fire military exercises for a week against the backdrop of the large-scale annual joint maneuvers between South Korea and the United States, the Freedom Shield, aimed at containing nuclear and missile threats from in the North. In Pyongyang, allied military exercises are being called a rehearsal for an invasion of North Korea.
We remind you that the DPRK announced successful tests on February 11 of a new guided projectile for a 240 mm multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) and a flight control system.
Earlier, North Korea announced the tests of the Hwasal-2 missile, which is capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
