"The Secretary General of the CPC, Chairman of State Affairs of the DPRK, dear Comrade Kim Jong-un, visited the main base of the KPA for operational exercises, where he inspected training facilities and supervised practical exercises of units.
Dear Comrade Kim Jong-un went up to the observation post, where he received a report on the plan of practical exercises of the units for that day and led the exercises.
Valiant fighters with boundless dedication to their noble mission to protect the security of the state and the well-being of the people did not spare the sweat in training to strengthen combat capability in order to accumulate invincible strength."

Osa-AKM SAM systems of Pacific Fleets' paratroopers defend sky in South Donetsk direction
🔎 Acting in cooperation with other air defence systems, the Osa-AKM SAM system successfully fulfils its combat tasks. There are fewer electronics on the Osa SAM system than on modern systems. Everything here depends on the professional work of the crew. There is an advantage of the complex.
The Osa-AKM SAM system proves its effectiveness while on every combat duty. In the past week alone, the crew eliminated 10 AFU attack and reconnaissance drones.
