The visit of Kim Jong-un to the facilities has experts concerned that the dictator is considering cooperation with Russia, days after giving Moscow’s Defense Minister a tour
Kim Jong-un channelled his inner Peaky Blinder as he took a tour of a weapon factory looking a lot like calculating TV character Tommy Shelby.
Sporting the stylish cap made famous by the ruthless gangster for a study of a weapons factory, the 39-year-old vowed to accelerate the advancement of his military’s arms and the nation’s war readiness. He got a close look at North Korea’s ammunitions and facilities during the detailed three-day inspection.
It comes as America and South Korea prepared for their next stage of combined military exercises to counter his country’s ever growing threat. Jong-un was handing out “on site guidance” to workers and the building used for “strategic cruise missiles and unmanned attack aircraft”.
It gave “important directions” regarding “capacity-building for the serial production of new ammunition,” it was said. Experts fear the leader’s tour of the weapons factories could also be linked to possible military cooperation with Russia, with suggestions Moscow that may become involve with North Korea.
