North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-Un has been showing off a newly developed anti-tank weapon by claiming it is so powerful it could turn the most heavily armoured enemy tanks into ‘boiled pumpkin’.
Pyongyang’s state media said Kim had watched tests of the portable, laser-guided rocket and declared it had the ‘longest firing range in the world.’
The leader of the secretive state also claimed it was ‘as accurate as a sniper’s rifle’.
‘He noted with great satisfaction that even the special armoured tanks and cars of the enemies which boast their high manoeuvrability and striking power are no more than a boiled pumpkin before the anti-tank guided weapon’, the KCNA news agency.
Kim called for the weapon to go into mass production as soon as possible and for it to be deployed to frontline units and coastal defence units.
With a siege mentality bordering on paranoia, North Korea maintains a huge military. It has some 1.2 million active troops out of a population of around 25 million – double the size of the armed forces in South Korea, which has twice as many people.
