North Korea’s defence sector has inaugurated a new factory for the production of tactical ballistic missiles, which makes use of fully automated assembly lines that can reportedly handle material preparation, precision processing, and component assembly.
According to state media, new production processes will not only increase output, but will also improve product quality, potentially allowing for the realisation of higher levels of precision and longer service lives for the missiles. KN-24 short range tactical ballistic missiles were seen on the factory floor, although it remains uncertain whether any other missile classes will be produced at the facility.

Although North Korea has made significant strides in the quality of its machine tools and CNC machines, images from the country have indicated that civilian machinery such as CNC machines have been procured from China which could further significantly improve the products of local industry.
