SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his young daughter took center stage at a huge military parade, fueling speculation she’s being primed as a future leader as her father showed off his latest, largest nuclear missiles.
The parade featured the newest hardware in Kim’s arsenal, including what experts say was possibly a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile he could test in the coming months. Around a dozen ICBMs were displayed, an unprecedented number that underscores how Kim continues to expand his military capabilities despite limited resources.
The Space Force is integrating its capabilities into the Joint Simulation Environment and crafting a plan for an advanced simulation capability of its own.
