North Korea has claimed to have created super smart AI missiles that do not miss. The robot-piloted bombs are said to be “impossible to escape” and have reignited World War 3 fears.
The terrifying new technology has been built by boffs in the highly secretive country and were this weekend trialled around the eastern coastal city of Wonsan say the worried countries next to North Korea. Top military chiefs from South Korea say the testing took place along the sea and saw the missiles fly more than 453 miles.
Photographs taken on the day show North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un smiling as he watched his new mega weapons during the missile launch, accompanied by his daughter Ju Ae and his wife Ri Sol Ju, who was seen clapping her hands in excitement.

The super missiles are also “capable of changing its flight orbit at a low altitude”, Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, boasted, saying: “Through today’s launching drill, the strategic missile soldiers have fully demonstrated their professional qualifications and counterattack posture,” Kim said following the launch, according to an English-language dispatch by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
‘We must continue our responsible efforts nonstop to constantly and repeatedly make the enemy recognise the reliability and fatality of our strategic offensive means,” he added.
But rival Seoul’s military say they believe there is a way to intercept the missiles, though they have not tried yet.
“South Korea and the United States maintain a firm combined defence posture and assess that the missile recently launched by North Korea was well within the detection and interception capabilities of the defensive assets operated by the two allies,” Seoul’s defence ministry said in a statement.

“We urge North Korea to immediately cease actions that heighten tensions on the Korean Peninsula,’ it said, adding that the launch violated UN Security Council resolutions.
The new mega missiles have launched fears that WW3 could be closer than many think.
Photos released by KCNA show the missiles soaring into the sky in a burst of orange flame in front of Kim Ju Ae, the leader’s daughter, who is thought to be the most likely successor to her father, according to South Korea’s spy agency.
Believed to be around 13 years old now, she has been seen more recently in public accompanying her father to a number of events, including weapons tests, military parades and factory openings.

The launch was conducted in front of her and was said to be done to help train soldiers operating the ‘hypersonic strategic weapon system’, KCNA reported.
Seoul’s spy agency last month claimed Kim could be close to death as he is ‘extremely obese’ and at risk of heart disease. Speculation over Kim’s health first flared in 2020 when he missed a commemoration of his late grandfather’s birthday. He was away from the public eye for about 20 days, fuelling rumours that he was seriously ill after surgery.
Kim’s father Kim Jong Il and grandfather Kim Il Sung were also obese and heavy smokers. Both died of heart attacks.
