In general, people believe that the difference in military muscle is decisive of victory and defeat in a war.
The Korean War in the 1950s, however, denied it and showed that one can always emerge victorious when one has a great spiritual strength.
Today the aspects of modern warfare evolve incessantly and the advanced military and technical means develop constantly. It brings great changes to operations and combat actions.
But the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gives priority to preparing its army ideologically and morally at present, too.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the DPRK, visited Kim Il Sung University of Politics on February 24, 2025 and said that the foremost might and superiority our revolutionary armed forces should steadily adhere to and boost are none other than the political, ideological, spiritual and moral superiority of the army of the people.
He noted that it has been an established theory to count soldiers and weapons as two elements of the armed forces in any century and any country and, from the historical point of view and in consideration of modern warfare, we can clearly see in practice the limitation of the military technology-centred theory ignoring the ideological building of the army.
Saying that imbuing the army with ideology before arming it with military technology is the core of army building, he expressed his new view that soldiers, weapons and ideology are three elements of the armed forces.
It is a conclusion he reached definitely once again that the arms devoid of ideology are little short of ironware and the basic way of building a powerful army lies in strengthening the political force of the army on a preferential basis and in a qualitative way.
The Korean People's Army orients its building toward giving priority to making it strong politically, ideologically and morally and toward steadily training the combat ranks to be elite and then toward developing the military and technical equipment in all domains including the nuclear armed forces at the highest level.
