[nggallery id=125]

The dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, issued an order to conduct an artillery firing drill in order to examine the capability of artillery units to fight an actual war and guided it on the spot.

He learned about the training program and the deployment of firepower units from the commander of the exercise before ordering its start.

At that moment, an endless barrage of shells were fired by artillery pieces on the "enemy's positions," their roar rocking heaven and earth, and all of them were enveloped in flames.

Feasting his eyes at the "enemy positions" in flames, he was satisfied with the shells accurately hitting the targets.

He noted that if the drill leads to an actual battle, the enemies will be hit so hard by the retaliatory strikes of the infuriated powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu that they would not be able to raise their heads again.

He highly praised the artillerymen for their successful drill.

He said that he was examining the preparedness of units for an actual battle after issuing an order all of a sudden, adding that the drill once again convinced him that all the officers and men of the army are waiting for an order of the supreme commander for a final attack, keeping themselves in maximum alert.

He set forth important tasks to be carried out by the army to make thorough preparations to go into action.

He also clarified in detail issues of further modernizing the artillery force to cope with the escalating reckless maneuvers of the enemies for a war of aggression.

He emphasized that the artillerymen should always be ready to open fire to hit the targets anytime an order is issued and deal merciless blows at the enemies when they preempt firing.

He saw the military hardware newly developed by the army.

He had a photo session with the service personnel of the units.

He was accompanied by Choe Ryong Hae, Hyon Yong Chol, Kim Kyok Sik, Kim Yong Chun, Ri Yong Gil, Son Chol Ju, Ryom Chol Song, Jo Kyong Chol, Yun Tong Hyon, Kim Yong Chol, Pak Jong Chon, Yun Tong Hui, Kim Thaek Gu, Pak Tong Hak, Rim Kwang Il, Choe Pu Il, O Il Jong, Kim Kyong Ok, Ri Jae Il, Ra Chong Il and Hong Yong Chil.

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.

[nggallery id=60]Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, inspected the training ground of a horse riding company under KPA Unit 534. After seeing training facilities and horses which lined up for training, he watched service personnel's training of horse riding. Watching their brave training, he was satisfied with the fact that commanding officers and men are possessed of the admirable horsemanship.

He recollected with deep emotion the feats performed by leader Kim Jong Il in guiding the work at this training ground, saying that President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il were very good at riding horses. Kim Jong Un personally rode a horse to learn in detail about the course of riding. After riding on a galloping horse several times along a long main course, he said it is fairly good for riding. It is suitable place for horse riding, he added.

If this training ground which was visited by Kim Jong Il several times is rebuilt into a modern ground for horse riding, this will mean better preservation and consolidation of the precious legacy left by him,Kim Jong Unsaid. He proposed to name it Mirim Horse Riding Club as it is situated in Mirim area. He called for renovating horse-riding club at an early date and presenting it to the people.

Horse-riding is a very good exercise helpful for nurturing bravery, he said, adding it will help strengthen healthy spirit and physical body conducive to labor and defence. Regular horse-riding exercises from early years based on education will develop muscles and prevent back ache even after becoming adults, he said.

Horse-riding has caught worldwide interest, he said, stressing that Koreans have been fond of riding horses from the olden times and frequently held competitions on horseback, thus training their body and mind.

When renovated, the horse-riding club will attract lots of working people, youth and students, he said, adding that the horse-riding will help them train their body and mind and give them pride and joy.

Roller skating wind is raging after the creation of skate parks in different parts of Pyongyang, he said, noting that same thing will happen after the creation of horse-riding club.

To promote horse-riding, it is necessary to provide necessary conditions, he stressed.

It is necessary to arrange horse-riding club and, at the same time, create horse-riding school and teach not only horse-riding but horse breeding and taming, he said.

Breeding healthy horses is important for the well operation of horse-riding club, he said, calling for solving in time problems arising in breeding horses including the provision of fodder.

He also called for timely producing horse-riding gears including riding suit.

He stressed the need to successfully renovate the club as required by the era of Songun and provide the Koreans who are the best in the world with the highly civilized living conditions and environment.

He was accompanied by Choe Ryong Hae, Kim Kyong Hui, Jang Song Thaek, Hyon Yong Chol, Kim Ki Nam, Kim Kyok Sik, Kim Yang Gon, Kim Phyong Hae, Mun Kyong Dok, Pak Pong Ju, Han Kwang Sang, Kim Kyong Ok, Ri Ryong Ha, Hwang Pyong So, Kim Pyong Ho, Choe Pu Il, Son Chol Ju, Pak Jae Gyong, Pak Jong Chon, Kim Yong Chol, Jon Chang Bok and other senior officials of the party and the army.
