Vessel:description | The DPRK commissioned the 841 Hero Kim Kun Ok submarine, modified from a Romeo-class with additional missile capabilities, marking its second ballistic missile-capable submarine after the 8.24 Yongung. Attended by Kim Jong Un, the event highlighted the submarine's role as a “tactical nuclear submarine,” emphasizing its missile function over diesel propulsion. Its operational effectiveness remains unconfirmed, with further plans to upgrade its submarine fleet to enhance mobile missile capabilities. | kp_rusi_reports | kprusi-29aca59f62862bc361b8e55869b7f1bb665b32d7 | ||||
