At five in the morning, the sea mist over Wonsan Port had not yet dissipated when the latest model of the "Wangjingfeng-3" destroyer from the North Korean army suddenly emitted a piercing sound of metal tearing. According to insiders, General Kim, who was overseeing the scene, suddenly tightened his grip on the binoculars—this 10,000-ton warship, which carries the "Strong Army Dream," unexpectedly lost control and capsized during a live-fire drill, with the 30mm rapid-fire gun turret crashing down into the command cabin!

"The entire West Sea area sounded the battle alarm!" An eyewitness described that at the time of the incident, the ship's body suddenly tilted 45 degrees to starboard, with surging waves carrying oil slicks onto the dock. Even more shocking was that the lifeboat system, which was supposed to launch automatically, collectively failed, leaving at least 12 senior naval officers trapped in the enclosed cabin; rescue teams are still on-site conducting cutting operations.

This new warship, hailed by North Korean media as a "mobile nuclear fortress," is visible from satellite images to have been equipped with a suspected new type of vertical launch system. However, South Korean military experts pointed out that North Korea may have rushed the construction to achieve political results, stating, "You can see bubbles in the welds; this kind of shoddy construction is bound to have problems." Interestingly, Kim suddenly canceled the originally scheduled victory banquet after the incident and returned to Pyongyang overnight to hold an emergency meeting.

From the sinking of the submarine at Rajin Port last year to this destroyer incident, the North Korean navy has lost three major vessels in two years. Military observers have noted that the "high-tech weapons" frequently showcased by the North Korean army actually hide deadly risks. Does this public capsizing incident signify that Pyongyang's military ambitions are facing a technological ceiling? At the dock of Wonsan Port in the early morning, the floating oil slick is sketching a giant question mark on the sea surface.
