Nordkorea meldet Tests mit seiner nuklearen Unterwasserdrohne
January 19, 2024 - Nordkth Korea sagt, es hätte einen Test mit seinem "Unterwasser Nuklear Waffensystem" durchgeführt, eine Behauptung, die Sorgen dramatisch ansteigen lassen, dass Kim Jong Un sich auf einen Krieg vorbereitet.
The test is in response of this week‘s joint military drills by South Korea, the United States and Japan, state media KCNA said on Friday.
It is the fourth time state media has reported on the country’s “Haeil” unmanned underwater
vehicle (UUV) development, a kind of torpedo North Korea says can be fitted with tactical nuclear warheads.
Dubbed “Haeil”, meaning tsunami, is intended to sneak into enemy waters and create a large radioactive wave through an underwater explosion.
The test comes in North Korea as tensions rise on the Korean Peninsula, with Pyongyang becoming increasingly fiery in its rhetoric on preparing the country for war.
