As US Abandons Taiwan, China's Nuclear Ally Kim Unveils New AI Missile To Hit…?| North, South Korea

Ajouté : 2026-05-28

[00:00:01]As the US shifts its attention toward Iran, is Kim Jong-un quietly building a next-generation war machine in the shadows?

[00:00:09]Kim's so-called AI weapons breakthrough, North Korea now claims successful tests of new cruise missiles in a fresh show of force.

[00:00:18]Kim unveils what he calls modern warfare missiles [music] as North Korea escalates pressure and tensions with South Korea once again.

[00:00:26]And did the Russia-Ukraine war unintentionally give [music] Pyongyang real combat data to refine its own military edge? North Korea tested a new lightweight multi-purpose cruise missile system, according to reporting by the state-run media outlet KCNA, which described the development as part of its ongoing weapons program. The test report said the missile system incorporated artificial intelligence functions along with precision navigation technology designed [music] to improve targeting accuracy during flight. Kim Jong-un personally supervised the tests of ballistic missiles, artillery systems, and AI-guided cruise missiles during a recent high-profile military demonstration.

[00:01:02]>> [music] >> The report added the weapons were specifically designed for modern warfare conditions and were intended for a wide range of combat operations across different battlefield scenarios. The tests also assessed the effectiveness and destructive power of a special mission warhead mounted on tactical ballistic missile platforms. North Korea additionally carried out trials of long-range multiple launch artillery rocket systems as part of the broader weapons evaluation program. Kim Jong-un stated that both the weapons and their automated launch systems had been significantly upgraded to meet the demands of modern battlefield [music] conditions. The North Korean leader further claimed that the missiles tested during the exercises were fully ready for real combat deployment if required.

[00:01:40]KCNA reported that the AI-guided cruise missiles demonstrated during the test were capable of striking designated targets at distances of up to 100 km.

[00:01:50]The missiles are expected to be deployed with forward-positioned artillery units stationed near the heavily fortified border with South Korea. It is important to note that South Korea's capital, Seoul, lies well within 100 km of the demilitarized zone separating the two countries. Pyongyang has officially declared South Korea its primary foe and has formally abandoned its previous long-standing policy goal of peaceful reunification. Analysts said this marks the first known instance in which North Korea has publicly referenced the use of artificial intelligence in missile [music] guidance systems. North Korea has previously made similar claims regarding the use of artificial intelligence technology in the development of its military drone programs. Pyongyang has been rapidly modernizing its tactical weapons arsenal while simultaneously continuing to expand [music] and advance its nuclear capabilities. North Korea has also reportedly supplied Russia with ballistic missiles and artillery rockets since 2023 as part of growing military cooperation. North Korean weapon systems are believed to have been actively used by Russian forces during the ongoing war against Ukraine on multiple fronts.

[00:02:52]Analysts suggest that the Ukraine conflict may have provided North Korea with valuable real-world battlefield data to improve its own weapons performance and design. The latest missile test comes amid rising tensions across the Korean Peninsula, driven by North Korea's continued acceleration of its military expansion and weapons development program.

[00:03:15]North Korea [music] conducted a series of high-tech weapons tests over three consecutive days, Russia Today reported on April 10th, highlighting a concentrated trial of multiple new systems.

[00:03:25]According to KCNA, the tests covered electromagnetic weapons, carbon fiber bombs, and a short-range air defense missile system, indicating work on both offensive and defensive capabilities.

[00:03:36]North Korean [music] officials described these newly tested systems as special assets within the country's arsenal, underscoring their [music] perceived strategic importance. Only limited technical information was released about the performance and capabilities [music] of the weapons, keeping most specifications opaque. During the same testing [music] window, South Korea detected multiple missile launches originating from North Korean territory.

[00:03:59]Those missiles [music] reportedly traveled distances ranging roughly between 240 and 700 km, according to wire service reports. The test campaign also reportedly involved [music] a new cluster warhead design for use with the Hwasong-11 short-range ballistic missile.

[00:04:15]The Hwasong-11 is generally regarded [music] as a nuclear-capable short-range ballistic missile within North Korea's inventory. Carbon fiber bombs are engineered [music] to disable power grids by inducing short circuits in electrical infrastructure, rather than [music] destroying it outright. These munitions disperse fine graphite or carbon filaments over key energy infrastructure targets, causing widespread [music] electrical faults.

[00:04:36]The non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapon tested is intended [music] to neutralize enemy infrastructure without relying on large explosive blasts. It is designed to disrupt or destroy electronic circuits in military assets such as radar systems, communications nodes, and combat aircraft. North Korea also carried out a series of weapons tests late last month, coinciding with intense fighting and escalation [music] in the Middle East conflict.

[00:05:00]>> Kim Jong-un personally supervised multiple weapons [music] firings, combat maneuvers, and platform inspections, showcasing national defense development [music] progress. Analysts noted particular significance in Kim observing a ground test of a high-thrust solid-fuel rocket [music] engine design for advanced strategic applications.

[00:05:19]Experts assess this engine technology substantially improves North Korea's [music] capacity for long-range ballistic missile systems with extended operational envelopes. Successful integration could [music] equip intercontinental ballistic missile for mainland United States reach, expanding strategic deterrence parameters significantly. [music] The engine reportedly generated 2,500 kN of thrust, exceeding prior developmental [music] benchmarks established in previous test iterations. Enhanced propulsion facilitates heavier payloads, [music] enabling multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle configurations on single launch platforms.

[00:06:01]Kim also conducted inspections of a newly developed main battle tank, reflecting ongoing efforts to upgrade conventional ground combat formations.

[00:06:09]State media presented the vehicle as incorporating advanced armor protection alongside improved fire control and mobility [music] characteristics. During separate field exercises, Kim reviewed special operations personnel executing live fire engagements and tactical maneuvers under simulated combat conditions. Imagery captured operators conducting close quarters battle procedures and hand-to-hand combat proficiency demonstrations for evaluation. These activities underscored the unit's physical conditioning and operational preparedness across diverse mission profiles and environments. The displays followed Kim Jong-un's prior statements linking the Iran conflict to North Korea's rationale for maintaining nuclear deterrence capabilities. On March 24th, Kim characterized certain US policies as state-sponsored terrorism without direct reference to the Iranian situation specifically.

[00:07:38]>> [music] >> But these are all Korean military exercises.

[00:07:44]For the good of our nation, let's work together and let's truly make America great again.
