North Korea’s nuclear-powered submarine, the No. 841 Hero Kim Kun Ok, has not moved in nearly two years. On July 17, 2025, Beyond Parallel released satellite images showing the vessel still idle in a secure dock since its December 2024 relocation. The sub was originally unveiled in September 2023 as part of Kim Jong-un’s push toward a nuclear triad.Despite boasting a capability of carrying up to 10 nuclear-capable missiles, the submarine has not conducted any known trials or deployments. This stagnation raises questions about the vessel’s viability, especially amid reports of technical delays and failed conversions. With no clear timeline for operational readiness, North Korea’s premier deterrent asset remains a symbol of stalled ambition.Support us directly as we bring you independent, up-to-date reporting on military news and global conflicts by clicking here: / @themilitaryshow #militarystrategy #militarydevelopments #militaryanalysis#themilitaryshow
