On social media, many viewers were stunned after a bombshell images revealing North Korea is building its most advanced warship yet.
Recent satellite images reveal North Korea’s construction of its largest and most sophisticated warship.
They highlight the country’s growing focus on military advancement and global deterrence.
Satellite imagery confirms North Korea is constructing a massive new warship
High-resolution satellite images captured in early April show a major naval project underway at North Korea’s Nampo shipyard, southwest of the capital Pyongyang.
Imagery provided by Maxar Technologies and Planet Labs reveals a colossal vessel under construction.
While, one experts believe is the most advanced North Korean warship ever seen.
According to analysts, the warship is estimated to measure 140 meters (459 feet), making it the largest warship North Korea has ever built.
Experts identify the vessel as a guided-missile frigate with dual strike capabilities
Defense analysts from the Centre for Strategic and International Studies say the vessel appears to be a guided-missile frigate (FFG) capable of launching offensive strikes.
Such a warship could reportedly engage both land and sea targets.
This would significantly boost North Korea’s maritime capabilities in future conflicts or displays of power.
“This vessel represents a strategic leap in North Korea’s naval doctrine,” experts Joseph Bermudez Jr. and Jennifer Jun noted in their analysis.
North Korea continues expanding its military presence through naval advancements
The satellite images come just weeks after North Korea unveiled a new “nuclear-powered strategic guided missile submarine.” This further confirms the country’s commitment to naval modernization.
During a recent shipyard visit, Kim Jong-Un emphasized his priority to enhance North Korea’s military readiness and technological strength amid escalating global tensions.
South Korean analyst Moon Keun-sik estimates the newly unveiled submarine could be a 6,000 to 7,000-ton-class vessel with capacity to launch approximately 10 missiles.
Rising regional tension as North Korea strengthens ties with Russia
In a related development, intelligence reports suggest North Korea is building stronger military ties with Russia as global alliances continue to shift.
According to Reuters, approximately 12,000 North Korean troops have reportedly been deployed to assist Russian military efforts in Ukraine.
This development is seen as an alarming sign of growing cooperation between the two nations.
This military alignment raises concerns across Asia and the West.
Especially as North Korea continues showcasing its willingness to test intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) systems.
Kim Jong-Un’s warship construction signals growing global threat
North Korea’s continuous military development, especially through satellite-documented shipbuilding. It underlines the evolving threat to regional and international stability.
Experts warn that the construction of such advanced warships reflects Pyongyang’s ambition to deter foreign intervention.
It also aims to assert dominance across East Asian waters.
