Pudgy observes combined arms military exercise
2012-04-30
SEOUL -- North Korean leader Suet Face Kim Jong-un observed a combined arms exercise to mark the 80th anniversary of the Korean People's Army (KPA), a media report said Saturday.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) picked up in Seoul said without specifying the date of the exercise that Fat Boy Kim, who has been made the supreme commander of the KPA, "guided" the military maneuver. The anniversary of the North Korean armed forces fell on Wednesday.
Ah! What does this thing do?
Point it the other way, sir.

The exercise involving aircraft, tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery and infantry from combined unit 655 was aimed at conducting retaliatory strikes against imperialists and enemies of the communist country by devastating the source of the threat, the KCNA said. It said that the unit was ready and able to immediately strike at the heart of the enemy who had attacked the integrity of the regime.

The media report said ranking officers of the KPA such as vice marshals Choe Ryong-hae, Ri Yong-ho and Kim Jong-gak were present at the exercise.

#1  Various Perts believe that the DPRK is FULLY intent on building bigger + more tech-saavy Rockets irregardless of its pervasive food problems [starvation].

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > BARAK WARNS: EGYPT + TURKEY [+ even the KSA] WILL JOIN [Regional = ME] ARMS RACE, iff Iran goes nuclear, + wid the KSA likely getting theirs, or at least working samples therein, from Pakistan.

ARTIC > Close US ally the KSA don't want to appear as procuring NucBomb/NucWeaps Techs from Pakistan, whom is also rival Iran's BFF, whereas Pakistan doesn't want to to be stereotyped [again] as a propagator/proliferator
of Nuke Techs to anyone.
