Pyongyang, February 19 (KCNA) -- The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made a speech at a ceremony of presenting military hardware on Wednesday.
The full text of his speech is as follows:
Comrades,
The workers in the munitions industry have prepared the most valuable present for a glorious congress of the Workers' Party of Korea.
I propose to give warm applause, as a token of gratitude, to the workers and officials of the major munitions enterprise, who have come to the glorious Party congress with powerful military hardware.
You have performed really great feats.
The valuable fruition of your loyal labor struggle is an expression of your absolute support to and trust in the Party's cause and a meaningful success that highlights the historic significance of the Party congress.
It is a source of pride for the congress of our Party to greet this inspiring event at the most crucial and responsible moment.
As I see those military hardware standing in a fine array, I really cannot but admire at the strength and technology of our workers in the munitions industry and describe them as miraculous products.
I extend my warmest gratitude to the workers, technicians and officials of the factory and all other workers and scientists in the munitions industry, who have prepared the greatest and most significant creation for the Party congress by waging a mass struggle for increased production with the warm and sincere loyalty they have cherished.
Comrades,
The weapon we are seeing is called the 600mm super-precision multiple launch rocket system.
This is really a great weapon system.
As was outlined by the mass media some days ago, this is a focused strike weapon most powerful in the world. The precision and power of tactical ballistic missile and the multiple launching functions of tubes are perfectly combined in this weapon.
Obviously, it is a multiple launch rocket system, but it can be said to be a weapon that has virtually no difference from a high-precision ballistic missile in terms of precision and power.
It is really a wonderful and attractive weapon.
There is no need to further explain about its destructive power and military value.
This is because it can reduce the aimed target to ashes through surprise and simultaneous attack by focusing its destructive energy.
Those who have a passable knowledge may know that no other nations have got this kind of weapon system.
Appropriate for a special attack, that is, for accomplishing a strategic mission, it incorporates AI technology and compound guidance system. This large-calibre super-precision multiple launch rocket system, the one and only weapon in the world, has completely changed the role and conception of artillery accepted by modern warfare.
As I have already said, I am sure that no other countries in the world would be able to attain the technology that can match this class of weapon system within several years to come.
I am not allowed to talk about the principle and mode of using this weapon system.
Yet, I dare say it is more than clear that once this weapon is used, our belligerents' military infrastructure and command system will break down all at once.
When this weapon is used actually, no force would be able to expect God's protection.
Comrades,
Self-reliant defence capability is our lifeline and a source of our strength, and uninterrupted upgrading and rapid reinforcement of the means is our invariable target.
We will continue to demonstrate our achievements in defence technology that our geopolitical opponents will be greatly afraid of.
As I have mentioned several times, it will, on its own terms, be a responsible posture in exercising our deterrent.
It is undoubtedly a law and iron principle that the most powerful offensive capability constitutes the most reliable deterrent.
We must prepare such capability in reality and assure it with our own abilities, not in any spoken or written words.
To keep in mind a steadfast outlook on the enemy, build up the strongest military muscle and maintain a thoroughgoing offensive mode of counteraction--herein lies the basic guarantee for our state's security environment.
Comrades,
Availing ourselves of this meaningful opportunity, we have redoubled the confidence in our ever-upgrading and developing defence technology, as well as the will to modernize defence capabilities, which will be unshakable in any circumstances.
On the basis of this success, the Ninth Congress of our Party will make clear the next-stage plan and goal for strengthening the self-reliant defence capabilities.
Our undertaking for constantly upgrading the military strength capable of forcefully containing any threat and challenge by outside forces will be further accelerated, and this honorable struggle demands that our research group in the sector of national defence and our working class in the munitions industry work harder and make greater efforts.
I firmly believe that they will achieve more wonderful and inspiring successes in carrying out their important mission for meeting the demands of the revolution and executing the Party's strategic plan.
The Ninth Party Congress will extend warm respect and gratitude to our heroic defence scientists and working class in the munitions industry, who are boundlessly faithful to the cause of the Workers' Party of Korea.
I once again express my thanks for this meaningful ceremony.
Thank you. -0-
