AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoNorth Korea Weapons R&D: Kim Jong Un watched tests of an upgraded 240mm, 24-tube multiple rocket launcher with guided rockets (about 90 km range), a tactical ballistic missile with a “special mission” warhead, and extended-range 155mm gun-howitzer shells (about 65 km), calling it “great technological progress” and pushing a more “deadly and destructive” offensive posture. South Korea Drone Shift: Seoul announced a rapid buildout of unmanned warfare, aiming to train 500,000 “drone warriors” and field tens of thousands of domestically made drones, with drones becoming a standard tool for all troops and a focus on countering North Korean unmanned threats. Naval Hardware: North Korea moved ahead with its navy modernization, commissioning the new-type multi-mission destroyer Choe Hyon after shakedown work, signaling continued expansion of sea-based deterrence. Energy & Cities: Satellite and on-the-ground reports say a border city near China is showing more nighttime lighting, suggesting North Korea is leaning into solar power to ease chronic energy shortages. Regional Tech Watch: Japan is renaming its air force to reflect a broader space mission, while Airbus and Kawasaki are studying an anti-submarine warfare variant of the U950 Eurodrone for long-endurance maritime monitoring.
