On April 26, North Korea launched its Choe Hyon-class guided-missile destroyer, marking a significant step in its naval expansion. The 5,000-ton warship, built in just over a year, boasts powerful weaponry, including a 127mm naval gun and the Pantsir-M naval air defense system. With 82 VLS cells, the ship can launch strategic missiles, including nuclear-capable cruise missiles. This move reflects North Korea’s growing maritime power. In response, the US is increasing its F-16 presence at Osan Air Base to counter regional threats from North Korea and China. 00:00 – INTRODUCTION01:50 – KIM’S NEW DESTROYER EQUIPPED WITH “MOST DANGEROUS WEAPONS”04:43 – US AIR FORCE INCREASES F-16 PRESENCE AT OSAN BASEn18oc_world n18oc_crux
