In a high-stakes address at the Defence Development-2025 expo, Kim Jong Un – general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK – called on the country to 'steadily improve' its military capabilities. 💪⚔️
On display were cutting-edge projects aimed at modernizing the DPRK's defense structure, with its nuclear deterrent standing as the backbone. In simple terms, nuclear deterrent means having enough nuclear capability to discourage any potential attack. 🔋🚫
Kim warned that US exercises under the so-called nuclear operations guidelines pose a 'real and serious threat' to regional security. He pointed to recent deployments of US strategic strike and reconnaissance assets around the Korean Peninsula as examples of these high-stakes drills. 🎯✈️
'If the United States persists in dangerous moves…we will more powerfully implement the necessary military and technological measures to remove new threats and maintain the balance of power,' he said, hinting at clear measures the DPRK has already adopted. 🔄🤝
For tech-savvy audiences, this means the DPRK is doubling down on R&D in areas like missile tech, cyber warfare, and advanced surveillance tools. Think next-gen drones, AI-driven defense systems, and hypersonic glide vehicles – all designed to keep the playing field level. 🛰️🤖
As tensions simmer in the region, young people from Kathmandu to Jakarta and beyond are watching closely. With security, technology, and international relations all intertwined, the DPRK's latest move is yet another reminder of how quickly the global balance can shift. 🌏🔄
