Destroyer Choe Hyon Conducts Test-fire of Weapon Systems

The test-fire of strategic cruise missiles and anti-warship missiles was conducted again in the operational efficiency test system of destroyer Choe Hyon of the Navy of the Korean People’s Army on April １２.

Comrade Kim Jong Un, together with leading officials in the field of national defence and commanding officers of the Navy, observed the test-fire.

The test-fire was aimed at checking the launching control line of the warship’s integrated weapon commanding system and familiarizing the seamen with the missile firing action, as well as confirming the accuracy and the rate of hits of the improved active anti-jamming navigation system.

Two strategic cruise missiles and three anti-warship missiles were test-fired from destroyer Choe Hyon.

The launched strategic cruise missiles flew for ７ ８６９s to ７ ９２０s and anti-warship missiles for １ ９６０s to １ ９７３s along the flight orbits set in the sky above the West Sea of Korea and struck the targets with ultra-precision hit accuracy.

On the same day, Comrade Kim Jong Un heard a report on the examined formation plan of weapon systems for the destroyers Nos. ３ and ４ under construction and made an important conclusion.

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the preparedness of our army’s strategic action has been strengthened in a qualitative way with various achievements recently made in the field of defence science.

Saying that it is our Party’s invariable national defence line and most important priority task to steadily and unlimitedly bolster up the powerful and reliable nuclear war deterrent, he clarified the important tasks for further strengthening the strategic and tactical attack capability, a key component of the nuclear war deterrent, and for improving and sophisticating the prompt response posture.
