Regime's strategic objectives

The weapon is intended for 'special attacks' with nuclear capabilities against South Korea and paralyzing its command structure.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un presented a monumental arsenal consisting of 50 modern launchers for 600mm multiple rockets. During the ceremony in Pyongyang, the regime leader emphasized that the new weapon is a key element of deterrence strategy and has the capability to conduct 'special attacks.' According to the official agency KCNA, these systems have an operational range of 400 kilometers, allowing them to strike targets across almost the entire territory of South Korea. The regime maintains that the launchers are equipped with advanced guidance systems based on artificial intelligence. Military experts note that the timing of the presentation is not coincidental. The event took place just before the scheduled 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea, during which military and economic goals for the next five years will be set. The new armament is meant to demonstrate Pyongyang's growing firepower and readiness for confrontation with Seoul and Washington. Kim Jong Un stated in his speech that using this weapon would lead to the immediate collapse of the enemy's command system. North Korea's missile program has continued uninterrupted since the 1970s, when the country acquired initial technologies from the Soviet Union and Egypt, systematically developing the range and precision of its missiles. Analysts also point to the international aspect of this demonstration. There are suspicions that the new weapon could become an export item, especially to Russia, with which North Korea has tightened military cooperation following the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine. „I dare say it is more than clear that after using this weapon, the military infrastructure and command system of our enemies will collapse immediately.” — Kim Jong Un Pyongyang's arms industry, despite severe international sanctions, shows high efficiency, causing concern in East Asia and forcing neighboring countries to revise their defense strategies.
