Guidance to Flight and Skydiving Exercises of Airborne Troops

Marshal Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, First Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army, guided the flight and skydiving exercises of airborne troops of the Air and Anti-Aircraft Force and Large Combined Unit 630 of the KPA.

After being briefed on the plan of the exercises from an officer in charge of the exercises in an observation platform and examining in detail the preparations for the exercises and the climatic condition affecting them, he issued an order to start them.

He expressed great satisfaction, repeatedly praising the heroic flying corps and stalwart combatants whenever they performed their tasks with credit.

Noting that the exercises were quite successful and that the pilots and combatants creditably fulfilled their hard tasks in spite of very unfavouarble climatic conditions, he said that this was the outcome of their effective training at ordinary times.

He stressed that the service personnel should add fresh fuel to perfecting combat preparedness, always maintaining the highest vigilance, and that if the enemies dare make any provocations, they should deal staggering blows at them without giving them a moment’s breathing spell and blow up the strongholds of aggression by giving full play to the inexhaustible combat capabilities they have built up.

That evening he invited to Pyongyang the officers and men of the units who took part in the exercises and had a photograph taken with them.
