New Fabrication Buildings at Kusong Facility​

The construction of new large-scale buildings and the refurbishment of others within the industrial complex in the Kusong area and beyond.
There is talk of expanding the national drone programme, but I have a feeling that production will also extend to the construction or assembly of some sort of advanced training or combat aircraft, with a view to modernising the North Korean air force, which currently remains the poor relation of the armed forces.
This could be a heavily upgraded version of the MiG-29, which they have assembled in the past, or something similar to the SU-75, or perhaps an advanced trainer aircraft that could have a ground-attack variant.
Meanwhile, if they disregard UN sanctions, these new facilities could be used to handle a Russian supply of more advanced aircraft, potentially to be assembled in the DPRK.
The visit by the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, is a further indication that this could also lead to collaboration within the military industry, including the aeronautical sector, where Belarus possesses excellent infrastructure for the production of components and is renowned for the modernisation of Soviet-era aircraft.
However, I believe there will soon be surprises in the manned aviation sector too, with Kim Jong-un posing for photographs in front of these products as well.
MiG-29s and Su-25s would be an old-but-gold combo for North Korea. Russia has a surplus of unused MiG-29s, and Belarus (along with Russia) has previously discussed resuming Su-25 production.

Outstanding performance!
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction over the relevant test as it served as an occasion to show well how excellent our new-type MBT is and how dependable combat means it is through actual action, not words.

He said today's test proved that the functionality of our new-type MBT's interceptor system is fully equipped with a thorough capability for destroying almost all existing anti-tank means.

Commenting on the new-type MBT which demonstrated remarkable combat performance, he said it has been confirmed again that there is no doubt in our view, already declared, that no tank in the world is comparable to this tank.

Kim Jong Un witnessed a ground test of a high-power solid rocket motor made of carbon fiber composite materials.
The maximum thrust of the recently upgraded high-power solid rocket motor is 2,500 kN, and this test is part of the new five-year national defense development plan, which places the continuous renewal of strategic strike capabilities as a major objective

Considering thrust of 255 tons, I have doubts about it being used for a road mobile ICBM and is more so for being silo based.

Perhaps equivalent of LGM-118 Peacekeeper and possibly with better throwing weight than it.

North Korean special forces showed footage of their training, which was attended by Kim Jong-un. The North Korean leader stated that the army should follow the principle "the more you sweat in training, the less you will bleed in war."
The North Korean special forces demonstrated their physical fitness and combat skills as part of a competitive program.
