Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Oversees Test-Fire of Controllable

Shells for Multiple Rocket Launcher

Pyongyang, May 11 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the
Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea, learned about the technically updated version of
the 240mm multiple rocket launcher system and oversaw on May 10 the
test-fire of controllable shells for multiple rocket launcher produced at
different national defence industrial enterprises.

The updated multiple rocket launcher with high mobility and concentration
of fire has an automatic fire combined control system and will be deployed
in units of the Korean People's Army as replacement equipment from 2024
to 2026.

The launched eight shells hit the target point, intensively proving the
advantages and destructive power of the updated rocket launcher system and
the controllable shells for multiple rocket launcher.
Kim Jong Un discussed the ways for putting greater spurs to the national
defence economic work to raise to the highest level the production of the
technically updated multiple rocket launcher system and controllable shells
for multiple rocket launcher, and set forth important tasks and orientations to
this end.
A significant change will be soon made in increasing the artillery combat
capability of our army.
