North Korea puts AWACS in front of the world.
Highlights
- North Korea displays the first AWACS aircraft
- Kim Jong Un inspected the capabilities of the aircraft
- AWACS aircraft is capable of monitoring 360 degrees
Pyongyang: North Korea is doing one day and night to increase its military strength. Now he has shown his new strength to the world. A new video has revealed that Kim Jong Un now has a 'sky eye' i.e. air warning and control aircraft. It is also called AWACS. North Korea also placed an AI technology -equipped Kamikage drone i.e. suicide drone in front of the world. This news is going to ring alarm bell for America. Kim Jong Un was shown taking stock of this AWACS aircraft on North Korea's official TV channel. This North Korean aircraft is not a minor toy. This aircraft contains radar.
This radar fly in the air can detect enemy aircraft and missiles from a distance. Its eye can go far beyond the boundary of the existing radar, which can prove to be a game-changer in the battlefield. This is the first AWACS aircraft performance from North Korea, probably based on the IL-76 Transport Aircraft. Typically, Russia develops an AWACS version of this platform called A-50, which has a modern variant A-50U.

India also has sky eye
The IL-76 based AWACS was originally developed by Russia, and has been a successful model for many countries. A large radar dome is placed above the aircraft, which possibly contains three radars. They are capable of monitoring 360 degrees. Kim Jong Un said the aircraft would track the danger and gather important intelligence information for the war. In a picture, Kim is shown flying in this aircraft and taking briefing on its abilities. China operates the KJ-20000, while India has an IL-76 based 'eye' AWACS.

When did North Korea make aircraft?
It was seen in a picture that the aircraft has seven workstations. Which looks like AWACS of a big country. According to satellite pictures, the aircraft began to be produced at the end of 2023 and it was put on Radome in early 2025. Western experts suspect this strength of North Korea. He believes that Kim Jong is adept at showing those glitter. But his real ability is still suspicious. According to the report of The War Zone, it is also not clear how Russia-China or both helped in the development and construction of this aircraft. North Korea has only one AWACS, due to which 24 -hour monitoring is difficult. But despite this, this is a big step for North Korea's air defense.
