Leader Kim Jong Un described the new addition to his fleet as crucial in his plans to be ready to counter the naval might of the United States and its Asian allies at the vessel’s launching ceremony on Wednesday and an onboard inspection on Thursday. According to KCNA, Mr Kim said: “The nuclear attack submarine, for decades a symbol of aggression against our republic, has now become a symbol of our revolutionary power to strike fear into the hearts of our despicable enemies.”
Mr Kim said: “In submarines, technical aspects such as the power system, submergence speed, and the level of navigational equipment are all very important and would generally define operational capabilities, but nothing is more important than the type of weaponry that could be installed,” he said.That submersible has only one launch tube, leading analysts to consider it a test platform, rather than an active operational weapons system.
