SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un guided a military demonstration involving tank units on Wednesday (Mar 13), state media KCNA reported on Thursday.
Kim also expressed “great satisfaction” that a new type of main battle tank successfully demonstrated its striking power in its first display of performance at what KCNA described as a “training match”.
The military event was designed to strictly inspect the actual combat capabilities of tank crews and make them familiar with combat action methods on different tactical missions, KCNA reported.
“Swiftly weaving their way through various worst combat circumstances, heavy tanks hit targets at once with powerful strikes and broke through strong defense lines with high maneuverability,” the report said.
Kim was joined by senior officials including Defence Minister Kang Sun Nam at the event.
