Successful Test-fire of Newly Developed Super-large Multiple Rocket Launcher Held under Guidance of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un

Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman  of the State Affairs Commission of  the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and  supreme commander of the armed forces of the  DPRK,  guided  the  test-fire  of  newly  developed  super-large  multiple rocket launcher on Saturday.

The Supreme Leader of the Party, state and armed forces learnt about the development of the super-large multiple rocket launcher system and issued an order to start the test-fire.

The test-fire proved that all the tactical and technological specifications of the system correctly reached the preset indexes.

He gave high  appreciation, saying that it  is, indeed, a great  weapon, our young national  defence scientists  are so clever  as to  conceive out of  their own  heads  and design  and  complete  the  weapon  system at  one  go-off although they have never seen it, and they have performed a great work.

What made him happy  today is that a contingent of young and  promising talents who will shoulder  upon the rapid development of the Juche-oriented defence industry grow in the course of the development of the new weapon, he noted,  saying with  pride that they  are precious  treasure and  wealth of the country  which cannot be  bartered for anything  and the  Juche-oriented defence industry will steadily be  developed by the talented national defence scientists and technicians faithful to the Party.

Each Juche weapon developed and completed by us reflects the greatness of  the  Workers'  Party  of  Korea  which  provided  powerful  war  deterrent capable of firmly defending Korean-style  socialism with the responsibility for the destiny and  future of the  country and the people  and the noble  loyalty of our national defence  scientists who have unsparingly devoted their  blood and sweats of patriotism true to the leadership of the Party, he said.

Saying August  24 is,  indeed, an unforgettable  good day,  and that  three years ago today  we succeeded even in the  underwater test-fire of strategic submarine ballistic missile  which only a few countries  have in the world, he together with his  dear comrades-in-arms recollected the  unforgettable days of  developing  and  completing  strategic  weapons while  braving  manifold trials.

An important  mission  our defense  industry takes  up  is to  contribute to increasing national defence  capabilities in every way so as  to safeguard the Party,  revolution, country  and  people,  guarantee  the final  victory  of  the revolution and lead  and promote the building of  a powerful socialist nation, he said, underscoring the need to  push ahead with an indomitable offensive campaign to  put our  strength onto  the level  desired by  us to  continue to step up the  development of Korean-style strategic  and tactical weapons for resolutely  frustrating   the  ever-mounting   military   threats  and   pressure offensive of the hostile forces.

He was  accompanied by  senior  officials of  the Party  Central Committee and the field  of national defence science including  Ri Pyong Chol, Kim  Jong Sik, Jang Chang Ha, Jon Il Ho and Jong Sung Il to guide the test-fire.
