You are North Korean

Seoul, South Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong a ventiló Fury in his own army and other officials on Wednesday after his country’s second naval destroyer was damaged in a failed launch that was there to witness, state media reported Thursday. Kim wants larger warships to deal with what he calls threats led by the United States against his country, in the midst of a long -term confrontation over his nuclear weapons.

It’s weird for North Korea To recognize the setbacks or accidents related to the military, and the observers say that the dissemination of the failed launch of the ship suggests that Kim takes its naval progress program seriously and hopes to achieve that goal.

During a launch event in the Northeast of Chongjin port on Wednesday, the newly built 5,000 -ton destroyer became unbalanced and was punctured in its lower sections after a transport cradle in the severe section slipped first and remained stuck, according to the Central Korean news agency of the North. Kcna did not provide details about what caused the problem, the severity of the damage or if someone was injured.

According to Kcna, Kim, who was present at the ceremony, blamed military officials, scientists and shipyard operators for a “serious and criminal act caused by absolute carelessness, irresponsibility and non -scientific empiricism.” Kim requested a meeting of the ruling workers party scheduled by the end of June to address their “irresponsible mistakes.”

“It is a shameful thing. But the reason why North Korea revealed the incident is that he wants to show that he is accelerating the modernization of his Navy forces and expresses his confidence that he can eventually build” a larger navy, said Moon Keun-Sik, an expert in the navy that teaches at Hanyang University in Seoul.

Moon suspected that the incident probably occurred because North Korean workers are not yet familiar with such a large warship and were urgent to put it in the water.

The damaged ship was probably the same class as the first destroyer of the country presented last month, which experts evaluated as the largest and most advanced warship of North Korea to date. Kim called the first ship, called Choe Hyon, a famous Korean fighter from Guera during the Japanese colonial period, a significant asset to advance in its goal of expanding the operational range and nuclear attack capabilities of the military.

The state media described that ship designed to transport weapons systems, including ballistic and cruise missiles with nuclear capacity. Kim said that the ship was expected to enter active duty at the beginning of next year and then supervised the tests of the war mails.

Lee Sung Joon, spokesman for the Chiefs of Personnel sets of South Korea, said Thursday that the damaged ship was probably equipped with similar systems and remains demolished in the sea. Planet Labs PBC’s satellite images seemed to show the winding container to the side, placed diagonally of the dock, with most of its submerged helmet and covered in blue covers.

The previous commercial satellite images indicated that the country was building its second destroyer in a shipyard in Chongjin.

Beyond Parallel, a website led by the Center for Strategic and International Studies of Think Tank said the satellite images of Chongjin Hambu Shipyard on May 12 showed that a second ship in the Choe Hyon class of guided missile destroyers was under construction.

A report from the 38 North website centered on North Korea evaluated last week that the destroyer in Chongjin was being prepared to be launched from the dock, a method that has rarely used in North Korea. The report says that the previous destroyer was launched in the western shipyard of Nampo, in contrast, used a dry floating dock.

South Korean officials and experts say that destroyer Choe Hyon was probably built with Russian assistance as the two The military associations of the countries are booming. North Korea has provided the Vladimir Putin team from Russia and even soldiers To help in your continuum Invasion of neighbor Ukraine.

While North Korean naval forces are considered much lower than those of their rivals, analysts say that the destroyer with missiles with nuclear capacity and an advanced radar system would still improve the offensive and defensive abilities of the North.

Kim has framed the accumulation of weapons in response to the perceived threats of the United States and South Korea, which have been expanding the joint military exercises in response to the advanced northern nuclear program. In April, the US Army Long-range B-1b bombers flew On the Korean Peninsula in joint exercise with the south, in a sample of force against North Korea days after Kim’s powerful sister promised to resist an impulse led by the United States to eliminate the pyongyang’s Nuclear program

He says that the acquisition of a nuclear motor submarine would be his next great step to strengthen the North Korean Navy.

Hours after publishing the report on the damaged destroyer, North Korea tested multiple cruise missiles from an area about 300 kilometers (185 miles) south of Chongjin, according to the South Korean army. The releases were a continuation of a streak of weapons proof activities by North Korea in recent years. South Korean team chiefs said the releases were being analyzed by the intelligence authorities of South Korea and the United States.
