SpaceWar.com reports: “North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called on the military to ramp up combat and artillery training to prepare for ‘coping with a war anytime and destroying the enemy in every battle without fail,’ state-run media reported Thursday.
Kim made the remarks while overseeing an artillery firing contest among units of the Korean People’s Army on Wednesday, the official Korean Central News Agency said.
The contest called for artillery units to fire at offshore targets after simulating a night march and sudden combat deployment.
Kim ‘expressed great satisfaction over the contest that was conducted like an actual war,’ KCNA said.
The North Korean leader stressed the need to develop ‘artillery tactics and combat methods in an innovative way in keeping with the harsh and acute environment of the daily-changing modern battlefields.’
‘The courage, abilities and self-confidence with which to actively cope with any war and crisis are cultivated in the furnace of the training revolution,’ Kim said, according to KCNA. ‘The surest war deterrent is the most thoroughgoing outlook on the arch enemy.’
He was joined at the contest by senior officials, including Defense Minister No Kwang Chol and Vice Chairman Pak Jong Chon of the ruling party’s Central Military Commission…”
