The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-unhas supervised some war games in which a new type of tank participated, in what represents another war simulation that coincides with the military maneuvers being carried out these days Seoul y Washington in the south of the peninsula.
Kim Jong-un himself drove one of these new tanks, according to the information and multiple photos published Thursday of the drill – which took place the day before – by the state agency KCNA.
During the exercise, a “competition” was held in which the Armored Division 105famous for being the first to enter Seoul to make the city fall into North Korean hands during the start of the Korean war in June 1950.
Kim himself recalled that it is “a unit that carries the important tradition and history of having occupied the enemy capital” in another apparent message from the marshal to the South.
Last week, the North Korean leader supervised live-fire artillery maneuvers in which a border unit participated that, Kim recalled, has Seoul “in its firing range.”
These drills coincide with the big spring maneuvers ‘Freedom shield’ that Seoul and Washington have been carrying out since last March 4 and which conclude today.
Pyongyang usually harshly criticizes these exercises because it considers them a rehearsal to invade its territory.
Although North Korea has not carried out any weapons tests in recent weeks, the allies’ ‘Freedom Shield’ maneuvers come at a time marked by greater hostility expressed by the regime, which recently declared the South as its main enemy and eliminated the goal of the reunification of the Constitution.
Added to this is the North Korean approach to Moscowto whom it has transferred thousands of containers with military equipment such as artillery rounds or ballistic missiles that the Russian army has used against Ukraine. EFE (I)
