North Korea is building the largest military ship in its arsenal - CNN.


North Korea is in the process of building the largest military ship in its arsenal, which is 140 meters long. This is reported by CNN, citing information from independent satellite companies Maxar Technologies and Planet Labs.
This military facility has been under construction in the port city of Nampo on the western coast of North Korea for several years. Analysts estimate that photographs show the continuation of work on the armament and internal systems of this military ship. This frigate is the largest such vessel ever built in North Korea, with a total length of 140 meters.
In the United States, there are also Arleigh Burke-class destroyers that are approximately 154 meters long and the new generation Constellation-class frigates, which are about 151 meters long.
The development of new types of weapons and the testing of intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States are taking place in North Korea amidst severe UN sanctions. Western analyst Kim Duk Ki suggests that Russia may be providing technologies for the new ship, strengthening ties with Pyongyang.
This new North Korean ship may have modern weaponry, including vertical launch systems, and a new radar system with a phased array. However, experts urge caution in drawing conclusions about the actual potential of this vessel.
Recently, North Korea has suffered significant losses in its military forces participating in combat alongside Russia in Ukraine. It is noted that the infantry brigades of Pyongyang currently have between 10,000 and 12,000 personnel.
