Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Gives Field Guidance at Armoured Defensive Weapons Institute and Electronic Weapons Institute under Academy of Defence Sciences

Pyongyang, September 13 (KCNA) -- 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, gave field guidance at the Armoured Defensive Weapons Institute and the Electronic Weapons Institute under the Academy of Defence Sciences on September 11 and 12. The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un listened to the report on the development of major core technologies completed through the joint research of the Armoured Defensive Weapons Institute and the Tank Designing Bureau. He learned in detail about the research in the field of armoured defence including the development of special composite armour, the reaction test of the intelligent active protection system in the process of its final test before introduction and various designs of the effective defence structure against upper attack. He appreciated that the combat capability of the armoured forces of the DPRK has been remarkably bolstered up as the directional infrared and jamming equipment, active protection system and passive protection means were successfully developed and introduced. On the same day there was a comprehensive operation test of the new-type active protection system against the frontal, lateral and upper attack by live firing of anti-tank missiles of various kinds. The test proved in practice the very high reactivity of the detection system and revolving intercepting projectile launchers and the great advantage of the newly developed active protection system. Kim Jong Un visited the Electronic Weapons Institute and learned about and guided important work. Saying that the Ninth Congress of the WPK would put forward the policy of simultaneously pushing forward the building of nuclear forces and conventional armed forces in the field of building up national defence, he expressed the belief that the Academy of Defence Sciences would continue to stand in the vanguard in the work for modernizing the conventional armed forces true to the Party's line of building a powerful army.
