PYONGYANG, May 27. /TASS/. North Korea has tested a newly-developed lightweight multi-purpose missile launching system and multiple tactical cruise missile weapon system, while Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) Leader Kim Jong Un supervised the event, which took place at the Missile Administration and the Academy of Defense Sciences’ testing ground, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
The tests analyzed and assessed the power of a special mission warhead of tactical ballistic missile, the reliability of a 240mm controlled artillery rocket with expanded firing range which employed an ultra-precision autonomous navigation system, and the AI-guided hit accuracy of a tactical cruise missile. Kim Jong Un praised the results, calling them significant technical progress in strengthening the army’s defense capability.
Particular attention was paid to the new tactical cruise missile, which, according to KCNA, will be adopted by long-range artillery brigades in the southern border region. It combines a high-precision navigation system with AI technology for terminal guidance and is capable of striking targets up to 100 kilometers away in both gliding and propulsion modes.
