While it’s somewhat impressive that North Korea was able to so quickly pull off the construction of these ships in such a short amount of time, a year is nowhere near long enough to conduct rigorous testing. Even if the corners being cut weren’t responsible for the second of these warships capsizing, the odds are that they would have started causing issues later on.
That speed of construction also raises an interesting question: Is North Korea’s naval modernization more about building up national prestige than it is about developing a credible threat against its enemies? It’s possible, perhaps even likely, as the Kim family’s entire leadership relies on propaganda.
If the second Choe Hyon-class ship had made it safely to water, that might have been all that Kim needed from the ship. A vanity project, of sorts, that was never meant to go much further.
Perhaps that’s why the launch was such a grandiose affair, with fireworks and Kim’s personal attendance along with his daughter.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
It probably did! 🤣
If I had to bet, I would bet that an insufficiently tested and unproven North Korean ICBM would fail if launched. Not a bet I would want to wager a city on, but an unoccupied Pacific atoll, sure.
Kim’s madder than a wet Hen in a rainstorm.
“Someone Must Pay!!” is his mantra.
All the stationery cameras will be studied for reactions.
If any one at that launching shows the slightest evidence of a Smile, a Smirk or unbridled Giggling - WOE be unto him!!
Imagine what happens if you actually shoot it.
"Did you follow all procedures?" "I frigate."
Maybe John McCain is still with us and was promoted to NC Commander.
Poor Mister Kim! I didn’t realize he had ordered all this manufacturing, construction and assembly to happen in only a few months. Yes, insufficient testing is probably what happened.
If he wants to know who’s fault it is, better to look into the nearest mirror and see for himself.
His pride and delusions of omnipotence won’t allow for that.
right... whats 100 times more disappointing is our very own Freeper brothers and sisters are the ones sucking us into these total wastes of time. I stopped clicking into many known names threads because of it.. you would think over the years desperation for thread activity would calm down...
He’s doing it wong.
Clickbait crap
Don’t even ask what their toilets are like.
The North Korean press is now hailing the successful launch of a new submarine!
He doesn’t like failure or disloyalty.
“On 13 February 2017, Kim Jong-nam, the older half-brother of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was assassinated at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. He had been living abroad since his exile from North Korea in 2003.
At approximately 9:00 a.m., two women sprayed Kim Jong-nam with the VX nerve agent. He died about 15 to 20 minutes later while being transported to the hospital.”
OOUPS!
Yes that
BS video.
Full of nonsense, animation, and no real information.
