North Korea Tests AI-Guided Cruise Missiles Under Kim's Watch
Kim said the tests showed upgraded combat readiness and ordered faster deployment of the cruise missile to front-line units.
- On Tuesday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw test launches of tactical ballistic missiles, artillery rockets, and AI-guided cruise missiles at an undisclosed location. KCNA reported the tests evaluated a 'special mission warhead' on tactical ballistic missiles and 240mm controlled artillery rockets with ultra-precision navigation systems.
- Kim's modernization push accelerated after U.S. diplomacy with President Donald Trump collapsed in 2019, following a pattern of sustained military development despite international sanctions. Last week, Kim discussed strengthening frontline units along the border to create an 'impregnable fortress,' state media said.
- The tactical cruise missiles feature terrain-mapping and AI-guided targeting to strike targets within 100 kilometers with high precision, set for deployment at long-range artillery units near the southern border. Kim gave particular praise to this system, calling it proof of military advancement.
- Kim declared the tests represented 'major weapon systems are a clear signal of upgrading of our military force' and called for an artillery force 'no one can match.' South Korean Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back responded Tuesday by announcing plans to launch the country's first nuclear-powered submarine by the mid-2030s.
- While North Korea claims AI integration in its missiles for the first time, analysts remain skeptical about the technology's sophistication. Hong Min at the Korea Institute for National Unification suggested the claim likely involves upgraded digital guidance combined with automatic target recognition, though independent verification is impossible.
