Pyongyang, April 30 (KCNA) -- The combat application test of the weapon systems of the multi-mission destroyer Choe Hyon began.
The DPRK Missile Administration, the Academy of Defence Sciences and the detection and electronic warfare administration launched a performance and combat application test of the weapon systems mounted on the destroyer Choe Hyon.
The first test of the weapon systems of the destroyer was conducted on April 28 and 29.
The test-fire of supersonic cruise missile, strategic cruise missile, anti-aircraft missile and 127 mm ship-based automatic gun took place on April 28.
Kim Jong Un , general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, watched the first test-fire together with leading officials of the Missile Administration, the Academy of Defence Sciences, the detection and electronic warfare administration and the Nampho Shipyard.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the destroyer proceeding with the scheduled weapon system test and acquainted himself in detail with the step-wise schedule and contents of test of the warship weapon systems from members of the weapon system examination group and watched the first test-fire.
The power of the 127 mm ship-based automatic gun attracted deep attention of the leading officials.
Highly appreciating that the combat application test of ship-based weapon systems has been prepared with foresight and started promptly, Kim Jong Un underscored the need to perfect the warship's weapon systems for integrated operation in a short span of time by strictly conducting the test as planed.
He highly appreciated once again saying that very wonderful is the ship-based firepower system of Korean-style which effectively combined the most powerful strike means including supersonic cruise missile, strategic cruise missile and tactical ballistic missile with the conventional defensive means of the warship.
Noting that the destroyer discharging the existing mission of repulsing the enemy invading the territorial waters cannot be called a reliable means of naval defence, Kim Jong Un said that it is important to establish a proactive and offensive defensive system on the premise of powerful attack capability and that it is a major task facing the field of warship-building industry of the DPRK to steadily raise the level of equipment of offensive and defensive complex system that introduced new-generation high-tech means and thus put the multi-mission and multi-purpose performance of warship on a higher level.
Saying that the time has come to make a responsible option for accelerating the nuclear armament of the navy in order to defend the state and maritime sovereignty from the existing and future threat, he set forth different tasks for realizing it.
On April 29, the test-fire of ship-to-ship tactical guided weapon, various kinds of ship-based automatic guns and smoke and electronic jamming guns took place. -0-
