Anybody knows the crew numbers? Must be rather cramped with all these VLS in a frigate sized ship.

This Chinese guy pointed out several problems with the North Korean destroyer:
  • Over-armed relative to its displacement, which could negatively impact the ship's center of gravity and stability, as well as its fire safety and survivability.
  • The interior and decorations are excessively luxurious/ornate for a surface combatant.
I also have to add to this guy that the ship's weapon configuration is still quite chaotic – the North Koreans still seem unsure of what to equip the ship with, and their standardization of VLS design is quite poor – and she lacks an advanced OTH surface-search radar.

Ho la sensazione che i marinai non avranno più questo tipo di cibo "di lusso" dopo che il caro Kim e le telecamere se ne saranno andati. I soldati nordcoreani sono notoriamente denutriti.

Does he say this because he served in the DPRK navy for the last 10 years?
Or does he have an acquaintance who served in the DPRK navy for the last 10 years?
If we take everything reported on South Korean or Western websites at face value, we risk being completely wrong, and it would be misleading to think that they are now in the same conditions that led to the mutiny of the crew of the Tsarist battleship Potemkin in June 1905. But I'm not thinking of the film that was made, but the true story and the motivation for that mutiny.
So I advise avoiding making such assumptions about a starving military.
Kim Jong-un is modernizing every civilian and military sector.
He has repeatedly communicated to us his plan for strengthening the navy and the timeframe for building destroyers that will sail the blue waters, ships equipped with electronic equipment, modern equipment, and modern weaponry.
To operate these ships and their onboard equipment, they require a highly trained crew, both technically and physically.
So if he wants to have an efficient navy and ships always ready for combat, he must have a healthy and well-fed crew, and he knows this, so he won't let them starve

@magmunta You're just regurgitating western propaganda, if you don't have anything useful to add to this thread don't post such rubbish.

Why do the north Korean soldiers are on average much shorter than the south Korean soldiers? Whenever I see the parade or training videos, why don't north Korean soldiers look bulked and muscular? Maybe because lack of trading with the rest of the world and state controlled economy domestically destroy agricultural output? Maybe GDP per Capita is so law in north Korea that it's impossible to produce missiles and food at the same time? Majority of the north Koreans are underfed, and many soldiers too.
