North Korea’s official KCNA press agency reported this Saturday (11) that the government has equipped its Armed Forces with new 240 mm multiple rocket launcher systems.
“The upgraded multiple rocket launcher with high mobility and concentration of fire has an automatic combined fire control system and will be deployed in units of the Korean People’s Army as replacement equipment from 2024 to 2026,” the agency described.
Kim Jong-un’s North Korean government considered that there will be a “significant change” in the combat capacity of its artillery. A technically updated rocket test was monitored by the president on Friday (10).
Experts warn that Pyongyang and Moscow have strengthened cooperation ties and it is believed that the changes announced by the North Korean government could benefit military cooperation with Russia, especially in attacks against Ukraine.
