Because everybody knows that boost capacity of arms factories is way better than boost capacity of food factories.

Yeah, like, the US should stop producing so many guns and do something about school shootings and start feeding their poor and homeless. I've read about Atlanta I think and there are giant camps of homeless people living in tents. Utterly disgusting.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
SEOUL, Aug 6 (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has instructed factories making missile engines, artillery and other weapons to boost capacity as an important part of bolstering the country's defence capabilities, state media said on Sunday.
Kim's inspections from Thursday to Saturday included the production of engines for strategic cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as shells for super large-calibre multiple-rocket launchers and transporter-erector-launchers, said state news agency KCNA.
Kim cited improved precision processing and modernised automation in the production of large-calibre multiple-rocket launcher shells, KCNA said.
Photos showed Kim firing different types of assault rifles, with fiery blasts coming off the muzzle as he took aim at a target that was out of frame.
Cheong Seong-chang, an expert on North Korea's political strategy at the Sejong Institute near Seoul, said Kim is likely focussed on modernisation and technical innovation of weapons that will help with the export of arms to Russia.
Marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean War on July 27, Pyongyang held a major military parade displaying its newest nuclear-capable missiles and attack and spy drones, with Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and a senior Chinese official joining Kim in the reviewing stand.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I wonder if this is a 'disguise' to cover up just how much he's been rinsed by Putin for these things.
Aside from the TEL warheads the rest are all things the Russians are burning through and lack the adequate production of.
That railway line through the tiny NK/RUbborder must be wearing thin.
What's with the fake photo of him firing that thing? Is everything in North Korea staged? 😂
Ikr, it looks like the buttstock is on his shoulder from this angle.
It looks weird, but I think it's real. A fake probably wouldn't include the smoke, and you can see he's got earplugs in. I doubt he would have bothered if he wasn't actually firing it.
Also he's handling it properly in the other pictures, so it seems like he's actually used AKs before. Well, except for the part where he has his finger on the trigger.
Looks so ridiculous
Least brainwashed Westerner.
lmao that gun "bipod"
A North Korean soldier runs towards battle. The hunger pains were dampened by the daily meth ration, but that wore off an hour ago, and he is hungry. No matter, he needs to fight. He opens his pack and struggles with the solid oak ornate bipod the Great Leader ordered deployed with the troops. As he lifts it free, he passes out. His last thoughts were how the food rations were thrown out to make room for this insane bipod
My boss tells us he wants us to increase by 200% and we go "yeah alright"
Pew pew pew
