Kim Jong Un does not forgive. After a spectacular slip -up, three people were arrested
An incredible event occurred on Wednesday, May 21 at the shipyard in Chongjin on the Japanese Sea. Solemn launching of a new destroyer with a displacement of 5,000 tone that was supposed to be equipped – according to the leader North Korea – into the most modern and powerful weapon, including nuclear, turned into a total defeat. The ship, instead of majestically, affecting the water, on the eyes of Kim Jong Una rolled over.
A shocking incident in North Korea. The military ship did not survive the launching
Kim Dzong Un, who has been emphasizing the importance of the expansion of the war fleet for years to meet the « military threat from the US », was furious. He treated the unsuccessful launching of the destroyer not only as a technical slip -up, but above all as a huge image failure.
He blamed the representatives of the army, scientists and shipyard employees for this scandalous incident. In his opinion, it was « a criminal deed caused by absolute disregard, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism. »
It’s no secret that Kim Jong Un is famous for its ruthlessness to those who fail his expectations. In the face of such a spectacular slip -up, the leader of the regime decided to act particularly quickly and firmly.
Everything took place in front of Kim Jong Una. The leader was furious. Three people were arrested
As reported on Sunday, on May 25, the North Korean agency of KCNA, three officials were arrested: Chief Shipyard Engineer, head of the hull construction department and deputy director of administrative affairs. Earlier, on Thursday, May 22, the shipyard director was also called to testify.
North Korean authorities maintain that the ship’s fuselage suffered only slight damage, and its repair goes according to plan. Work, as Kim Jong Un ordered, are to be « absolutely completed » in just 10 days. The destroyer is to be ready before the Congress of the Korea Labor Party (WPK), which is planned in June.
According to foreign experts, who analyzed satellite photos of the ship after the incident, The scale of damage It is much more serious than admits the regime of Kim.
It is worth recalling that last month North Korea with a large pump launched the first destroyer. Then everything went as planned. This time, however, instead of pride, Kim Jong Un had to swallow the bitter pill of shame.
