KCNA:Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Oversees Coordinated Offensive Tactical Drill of Infantrymen and Tankmen's Sub-units (1/3)

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, visited the Pyongyang Training Base No. 60 under the Capital City Defence Corps of the Korean People's Army on March 19 to oversee a coordinated offensive tactical drill of infantrymen and tankmen's sub-units.

The tactical drill was aimed at getting familiar with the coordinated order and combat methods in the tactical sub-units' offensive action to expand successes in their attack through an assault of tanks and infantrymen after striking, raiding and occupying the enemy's anti-armor defence line.

Involved in the drill were a company of the cavalry regiment, main armored unit belonging to the reserve operational group of the General Staff, and special operations sub-units.

When the tactical drill was launched, various kinds of attack drones struck the enemy's commanding base and anti-armor firing positions on the basis of real-time reconnaissance data.


Anti-tank missiles of an armored car sub-unit hit targets in salvo under the tactical fire support against the unexpectedly-emerging armored defence means of the enemy.

The rear strike sub-units destroyed the enemy drones and armed helicopters from their ambush position and then raided and occupied the enemy's anti-armor defence line and firing positions to provide the conditions for attack by the tanks and infantrymen.

There took place a demonstration charge by the tank company of the cavalry regiment equipped with new-type main battle tanks.

Kim Jong Un said that he came to clearly recognize that the principle of intensifying practical trainings under the simulated conditions of an actual war has been adhered to recently in the training of tactical units, too, while seeing all sub-units in the drill share real-time information and ensure the unity of combat cooperation and action under various unexpected and extremely difficult combat situations to break through the enemy's strong anti-armor defence line by means of powerful strike, prompt raid and occupation and high mobility.

He wants to improve tanks. As he has repeatedly stressed, the People's Army should organize training for an actual war and training competitions aimed to improve the combat efficiency, more intensively and more frequently, so that it can swiftly and exactly perform any combat missions under different situations in contingency, he said. He called for taking a revolutionary measure to further intensify the training revolution.
