On the 18th local time, a ceremony was held in Pyongyang for the presentation of 600mm caliber rocket artillery by the workers of the North Korean military industry to the 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, the Secretary of the Workers' Party, and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, attended the ceremony. Military industry officials reported to Kim Jong-un that the workers of the enterprise had increased production by 50 of the 600mm caliber rocket artillery in two months, which were gifted to the 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea. Kim Jong-un stated that the weapons presented at this ceremony were a 600mm ultra-precise multi-barrel long-range rocket artillery system. This weapon combines the precision, power, and rapid fire function of tactical ballistic missiles, making it the world's most powerful focused ultra-powerful attack weapon. Although this weapon is a rocket artillery, its precision and power are actually no different from high-precision ballistic missiles. At present, the principles and methods of use of this weapon system cannot be disclosed. Kim Jong-un stated that having a resolute attitude towards the enemy, increasing the strongest military force, and effectively taking offensive countermeasures are fundamental guarantees for ensuring the security environment of North Korea. The 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea will clarify the next stage of the vision and goals for the construction of North Korea's self-defense forces.
