The photos show severe damage to North Korea’s destroyer

New Satial photos of the Chonggen Port in North Korea show after the failed ship launch on Wednesday: a new destroyer that is still partially resting on the sidewalk. It is almost certain that the cabinet of the inner ship was flooded with water, making efforts to correct it.

He described the event as a “serious accident” on Thursday, the North Korean government media reported that the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, was watching the ceremony while Sterin slipped a ship on the slope road before the specified date, while he was roasting the entire ship.

Airbus and Maxar Technologies satellite showed that North Korea has probably planned a widespread destroyer of 5,000 tons, a method that explodes the ship side in the water.

In one picture, it is taken after the failed launch, the ship appears to be lying on the side of the meme and is still partially stuck on the slope road; The superstructure that is the highest point can be seen to the left of the structure, resting in or near water. It seems that a lot of the ship’s tire is blocked with blue fabric. The aerial image below reveals the rear air line naturally on its side, on the far right.

According to what was reported, Choi Hyun has been the largest warship in North Korea so far.

The weight of the bow section on the sidewalk may hang the destroyer in an open position and will be aggravated by any internal flooding at the back. These internal spaces will need to remove water before the heavy lever is available as an opportunity to raise the ship, which has an area of ​​5,000 tons.

Lee Song John, spokesman for the chiefs of joint staff in South Korea, He told reporters On Thursday, Seoul evaluated the ship to be partially submerged. Sea water can be eroded and the electronic systems of short circles and exposed minerals are eroded, which requires expensive and time -consuming repairs as soon as they are removed.

The government media wrote that the launch mechanism was disrupted, causing the rear sliding into the water while the bow remained stuck on the ground.

After watching the error, the government media quoted Kim, angry, as criticizing the officials participating in the launch, saying that they were censored and that their mistakes “will be dealt with” at the party committee meeting next month.

The North Korean leader also described the launch of a “serious accident and a crime”, adding that he “brought dignity and self -self to our country into a moment of collapse.”

South Korean officials told reporters on Thursday that it is likely to be destroyed in the same category as Choe Hyon, a 5,000 -tonn ship that launched from a separate ships building in April.

North Korea’s analysts and senior monitors assessed that Choe Hyon is the largest warship in the country so far.

Satellite images from early last month showed what experts said was likely to be the “appropriate” process, during which the internal construction is completed and equipment is installed before the warship is delivered to the navy in North Korea. Then, in late April, North Korea unveiled the ship during a ceremony in the port of Nambo. The ship is launched as soon as it is inverted and all its main components are installed.

North Korea’s only bullish trend is that during the launch of the ship, it is likely that none of the crew on board.

Choe Hyon has been identified as a guided missile frigate and is said to be one of two in the construction chapter. Some analysts suggested that the warship seems able to carry a vertical launch system, which is an upgrade of North Korea’s naval capabilities that allow warships to carry a larger arsenal From the fight against ships, ground attack, or surface missiles to the air.

The Choe Hyon is just one example of Pyongyang’s maritime update efforts. It was a top priority under Kim’s leadership with a wider military accumulation. Much of this focus was on the power of the submarine. North Korea revealed a new missile submarine two years ago.

North Korea is “primarily coastal force” according to the US Defense Intelligence Agency report for 2021, and it consists of about 60,000 employees, 400 periodic ships, 70 electric diesel submarines, and 260 amphibious landing vehicles. The country faces insufficient resources in the shipbuilding industry, which is a major challenge to maritime modernization efforts.

While Choe Hyon seemed to be an advanced bowl, experts were waiting for it to be launched to monitor potential capabilities and technologies.
