North Korean leader Kim Jong Un test-fired a newly developed sniper rifle and inspected special forces, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on April 6.
The state-run news agency quotes Kim as saying during a visit to a special operations unit a day earlier that the “actual war capability for guaranteeing victory in the war field is bolstered up through intensive training.”
The leader added that their training is “the most vivid expression of patriotism and loyalty to the country,” according to KCNA.
The agency said that the training was aimed at keeping pace with the changing trend of modern warfare and preparing all combatants to carry out their tasks under any combat.
KNCA also reported that the leader supervised “automatic rifle firing drills and sniper rifle firing drills” and, after personally test-firing the weapon, expressed “great satisfaction over the performance and power of the sniper rifle developed in our own way.”
Images released by the agency showed Kim peering through the scope of the new sniper rifle, which will be soon delivered to special operations units.

Kim’s visit to the special forces came on the same day that South Korea’s Constitutional Court upheld president Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment over his failed martial law declaration, officially sacking him from office and triggering fresh elections.
The only mention in North Korean media of the dismissal of Suk Yeol from office has been the citation of foreign media reports.
South Korea’s public broadcaster KBS aired the view that Pyongyang has been distancing itself from Seoul since it declared inter-Korean relations to be those of two “hostile” states.
Tensions have been building up on the Korean Peninsula since last year, with the North conducting multiple weapon tests every month. While there appears to be no work on de-escalation, a confrontation remains also highly unlikely.

“you can’t eat guns”

we know kim never misses the bulls eye in north korean propaganda . but he will have plenty of well trained snipers ready should the war restart . can they shoot drones ? can the us take on another war front at this time ? i think not . has the mossad / cia penetrated the north korean regimes communications yet ?
haha. even though it’s shit quality you can see on the “bullseye” photo that the paper is torn outwards. looks nothing like a bullet hole and more like a lame hollywood prop. i bet he even had blanks in the rifle.
