On the evening of April 25, a grand military parade was held in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in celebration of the 90th founding anniversary of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army.

Everyone clearly remembers the military parade held in April ten years ago in which the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un declared that the military and technological edge was no longer the monopoly of the imperialists, and the era had gone forever when the enemy would threaten the DPRK with atomic bombs, and the spectacular military parade held in October two years ago which demonstrated the development level of the country’s defence capability. The recent one was different from both the above parades in that it fully demonstrated the unprecedented military strength and absolute power of the country.

The parade columns demonstrated the militant spirit of a-match-for-a-hundred with which they would annihilate any enemy at one blow and the development level of military equipment which had changed beyond recognition. Quite spectacular was the buzzing and zooming of the plane squadrons which flew past the parade ground setting off dazzlingly white fireworks.

The magnificent columns of military hardware showed the power of the DPRK which had changed to everyone’s surprise.

The strategic missiles of the latest models with high mobility and destructive striking power, the leading tanks which are a symbol of the fighting capability of the Korean People’s Army, the artillery units which pride themselves on being the first service of the KPA, the super-large multiple launch rocket system with absolute power, the SLBM made through the wisdom and efforts of the Korean people themselves, the powerful anti-aircraft missiles which will shoot down any air target, the Hwasongpho -series missiles which demonstrate the modern character and striking power of the armed forces of the country–all these were impressive.

In particular, the awe-inspiring ICBM Hwasongpho-17 gave a glimpse of how the armed forces of the DPRK had changed and how powerful the country had grown over the past 90 years. The missile had made its debut in the military parade held two years ago and successfully test-fired in March this year, fully demonstrating its power.

The level of the modern character of the country’s armed forces and its absolute might which have changed as compared with ten and two years ago and will continue to change, symbolize the level of the dignity of the country and the happiness its people will enjoy.

If any hostile force dares to attempt military confrontation against the DPRK, it will be annihilated –this is a solemn declaration the country’s powerful revolutionary armed forces made through the parade in April to the reactionaries of history and hostile forces of all hues.
