 Pyongyang, September 14 (KCNA) -- A joint firepower attack drill of long-range artillery and missile units of the combined units at all levels of the Korean People's Army took place on Sept. 12.
KPA Marshal Pak Jong Chon, vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, and Major General Yu Chang Son, director of the Artillery Bureau of the General Staff of the KPA, guided the joint firepower attack drill.
Subunits selected from the five artillery and missile joint units participated in the drill. The drill involved new combat systems such as attack drones of various kinds, tactical cruise missile, large-caliber thermal-pressure multiple rocket launcher and tactical ballistic missile.
Marshal Pak Jong Chon said that the drill is aimed at making the army do what it should do.
Director of the Artillery Bureau Yu Chang Son said that it is one of the training tasks prioritized by the army to get familiar with the procedure for the operation of the integrated firepower control system, the systematic component of the strategic weapons combined management system, improve the specialty of the integrated automatic firepower control of various combat systems and increase the efficiency of destroying the targets with concentrated fire.
He also stressed that such drills are very helpful to qualitatively enhancing the strategic counteraction posture of striking units at all levels and acquiring the rapid reaction capabilities of sub-units at all levels in case of emergency.
He said that the joint concentrated fire drill of the major missile subunits and the long-range artillery subunits would boost the militant morale of the soldiers and improve the level of specialization to bring down the enemy's armed forces organizationally and structurally once an order is issued. We will, in the future, too, steadily master the procedures for counterattack posture on the enemy through practical drills, he added.
　All strike weapon systems demonstrated the huge destructive power of concentration fire by hitting the targets with 100 percent hit accuracy at a stroke, ensuring the unity and simultaneity of firepower attack. -0-
