Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, visited Pyongyang Training Base No. 60 under the Capital City Defence Corps of the Korean People's Army on March 19 to oversee a coordinated offensive tactical drill of infantry and tank sub-units.

He was greeted on the spot by No Kwang Chol, minister of National Defence of the DPRK, Ri Yong Gil, chief of the KPA General Staff, Kim Song Gi, director of the KPA General Political Bureau, Kim Jong Sik, first deputy department director of the WPK Central Committee, and major commanding officers of the KPA.

The tactical drill was aimed at making the tactical sub-units, which expand successes in their attack through an assault by tanks and infantry after striking, raiding and occupying the enemy's anti-armour defence line, get familiar with the coordination order and combat methods during offensive action.

Involved in the drill were a company of the cavalry regiment, the main armoured unit belonging to the reserve operational group of the General Staff, and special operations sub-units.

When the tactical drill was launched, various kinds of attack drones struck the enemy's commanding base and anti-armour firing positions on the basis of real-time reconnaissance data.

Anti-tank missiles of an armoured car sub-unit hit targets in a salvo with the tactical fire support against the unexpectedly-emerging armoured defence means of the enemy.

The rear strike sub-units destroyed the enemy drones and armed helicopters from their ambush position and then raided and occupied the enemy's anti-armour defence line and firing positions to provide the tanks and infantry with the conditions for attack.

There took place a demonstration charge by the tank company of the cavalry regiment equipped with the new-type main battle tanks.

Through the drill, its aim was attained to confirm the tankmen's capabilities for an actual battle and each sub-unit's combat cooperation and action methods according to different tactical missions.

Kim Jong Un said that he came to clearly recognize that the principle of intensifying practical trainings under the simulated conditions of an actual war has been strictly adhered to recently in the training of tactical units, too, as he saw all sub-units in the drill share real-time information and ensure cooperation in combat and unity of action under various unexpected and extremely difficult combat situations to break through the enemy's strong anti-armour defence line by means of powerful strike, speedy raid and occupation and high mobility.
