The tests showed the weapons and automated launch systems have been successfully upgraded to “suit the proper conditions of modern warfare so as to enhance their application to combat,” KCNA quoted Kim as saying.
The trials confirmed the combat readiness of cruise missiles that will be deployed at artillery units near the border with South Korea, equipped with precision navigation and AI-guided control that can strike targets at 100 kilometres, Kim said.
“It is essential condition for our army’s operations to have such destructive power as enough to make any encountering force impossible to survive theoretically, apart from fortune,” Kim added, according to the report.
South Korea’s military said on Tuesday it detected the launch of multiple projectiles, including a ballistic missile, which flew about 80 kilometres.
