The North Korean leader praised the rapid growth in production capacity, highlighting MLRS as a crucial element in the modernization of the nation’s artillery forces.
He emphasised that the enterprise must play a key role in implementing the party’s new military-strategic course as he called for accelerated modernization of production facilities and strengthening the technological foundation of the defense industry.
