00:00 This is Kim Jong-un and you know him.
00:06 What you don't know is what he is up to right now.
00:10 Well, the leader of North Korea is touring his country.
00:15 Not the scenic hills and mountains and lakes, but key weapons factories.
00:21 Factories that produce artillery systems and launch vehicles for nuclear capable ballistic
00:26 missiles.
00:28 Kim has also pledged to speed up efforts to advance his military's arms and war readiness.
00:36 During a visit to an undisclosed factory that produces large caliber artillery systems,
00:41 Kim emphasized the facility's crucial role in enhancing his military's state of readiness.
00:48 Kim commended the factory's utilization of scientific and technological advancements
00:52 to improve shell quality, expedite propellant tube processing and increase manufacturing
00:58 efficiency.
01:00 He encouraged the factory to continue its efforts in developing and mass producing novel
01:05 types of ammunition.
01:07 Kim reiterated this message during visits to two other factories.
01:12 He highlighted the importance of delivering launcher trucks designed for ballistic missiles
01:17 as a top priority for the military and urged the swift expansion of production capabilities
01:24 for more reliable engines used in cruise missiles and drones.
01:33 In a series of photos, Kim Jong-un is seen inspecting massive launcher trucks specifically
01:39 designed for intercontinental ballistic missiles or ICBMs.
01:44 Recent tests of these ICBMs suggested that they have the potential to reach the United
01:50 States mainland.
01:52 So why is Kim Jong-un doing what he is doing right now?
01:57 Sample this.
01:58 There could be several reasons for this escalation.
02:02 Possibility 1.
02:03 United States-South Korea Joint Military Drill
02:08 United States and South Korea are preparing for their next round of combined military
02:12 exercises later this month to counter the growing North Korean threat.
02:17 Tensions in the Korean peninsula have reached their peak in recent years due to the escalating
02:21 pace of North Korea's missile tests and the intensified joint US-South Korea military
02:27 drills.
02:30 Possibility 2.
02:33 A potential military collaboration with Moscow.
02:36 This could entail North Korea supplying artillery and other ammunition to Russia.
02:42 This possible cooperation comes at a time when Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking
02:47 support from various nations in the war in Ukraine.
02:51 North Korea has forged an alignment with Russia amid conflict in Ukraine, asserting that the
02:56 actions of the United States-led Western nations have compelled Moscow to take military measures
03:02 to safeguard its security interests.
03:06 But time and again Pyongyang, the seat of Kim Jong-un, has refuted United States allegations
03:13 of providing arms to Russia to support its operations in Ukraine.
03:18 Amid escalating tensions with Washington and Seoul, Kim has been making efforts to enhance
03:23 the prominence of his alliances with Moscow and Beijing.
03:27 By doing so, he seeks to break free from the diplomatic isolation and position himself
03:33 within a united front against the United States.
