Goodness, the Jinjiang military is really in a hurry this time! A new warship worth hundreds of millions, weighing 5,000 tons, surprisingly did a 'backward tumble' at the launching ceremony! The stern splashed into the water, but the bow got stuck on the shore and wouldn't budge. This scene not only made the Jinjiang military turn dark-faced on the spot but also made the onlookers gasp in shock.

First, let me share a little-known fact: launching a warship is far more thrilling than picking up a new car. There are two globally recognized methods — either the lavish 'dock flooding' method, which is like soaking in a bath to let the big ship float up slowly; or the economical 'slide' method, which lets the warship glide down a track into the sea. North Korea this time chose the more challenging version of the latter — the side sliding method, which is like letting a three-story tall iron thing skateboard; if you’re not careful, it could fall and tumble in all directions.

The Chongjin Shipyard really showed its nervousness this time. Think about it, they usually build small fishing boats, and suddenly having to handle a 5,000-ton behemoth is like asking a roadside mechanic to assemble a Rolls-Royce. The workers at the scene probably had sweaty palms: the track deviation exceeded the standard, the slide simply gave up, the stern splashed smoothly into the water, but the bow got stuck on the shore and wouldn’t move — this scene was like a fish nailed to a cutting board!

However, this can’t all be blamed on the shipyard. Pyongyang insisted on a KPI of 'three large destroyers a year,' so the Chongjin factory had to grit its teeth and take on this porcelain job. Just look at the first ship built by the Nampo factory, the 'Choi Hyun,' which used the reliable dock flooding method, but that’s only the treatment reserved for the capital’s favorites. Chongjin doesn’t have money or technology, so they had to rely on old experience to tackle new challenges head-on.

That said, North Korea's military operations in recent years have indeed been impressive. From nuclear submarines to hypersonic missiles, and now daring to handle a 5,000-ton warship, who would believe there’s no hard-core foreign assistance behind this? Just look at the map — the big brother to the north, deeply mired in the Ukrainian quagmire, leaking a bit of technology is enough for North Korea to benefit greatly. The Jinjiang military's diplomatic prowess of 'taking advantage of your illness to take your life' is far more skillful than what his father did back in the day.
