Kim Jong Un Touts Mass-Produced Multiple Rocket Launcher Vehicles as Main Attack Means

State media released photos from an undisclosed factory, leaving independent verification limited.

Overview

  • KCNA reported that Kim inspected production lines on December 28 for vehicle-mounted systems that fire multiple rockets.
  • Images appeared to show mass production of carriers for a super‑large launcher that Japan, the United States, and South Korea classify as a short‑range missile system.
  • Kim said the weapons would be used in large numbers to scorch enemy territory and serve as a primary method of attack.
  • He added they could function as a strategic strike asset, implying potential compatibility with nuclear warheads.
  • He referenced setting new munitions production targets at the Workers’ Party congress held every five years.
