Pyongyang has conducted a new test of torpedoes intended for its navy, which will begin to be supplied to the force starting in 2027, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), as the country intensifies its military trials.
In mid-October, Pyongyang tested a precision-guided torpedo equipped with artificial intelligence for self-navigation and target acquisition.
The agency reported that the latest test, conducted on Monday, allowed for “verification of the combat effectiveness of the new type of high-speed torpedo systems,” without providing further details.
According to official media, the North Korean Navy is scheduled to receive this weapon starting in early 2027.
Pyongyang unveiled two 5,000-ton destroyers in 2025 and is now seeking to develop a 10,000-ton class.
