North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw large-scale military exercises that revealed a new battle tank, described as a key element in modernizing the North Korean army, according to official media. The Korean Central News Agency reported that the exercises were held at a Pyongyang training base and included armored units launching anti-tank missiles, alongside units targeting enemy drones and helicopters. This was a preparation for the advance of infantry and tanks. The agency stated that the new tank is characterized by mobility, firepower, and advanced defense systems, including protection from missiles and drones. It added that Kim watched the tanks advance with great pleasure, expressing satisfaction with what he described as the embodiment of the army's courage and confirming a "significant progress" in the modernization of the tank industry. He said the new tank has strong self-defense capabilities, considering that "there is no armored weapon in the world that can match it".
