North Korea, April 7, 2025
The North Korean army received SSG 08 sniper rifles from the Austrian company Steyr-Mannlicher AG. This was announced on the page of the Korean People’s Army bot on Elon Musk’s social network X.
According to the information published on the page, a test firing of Austrian SSG 08 sniper rifles was carried out at one of the training grounds in the DPRK. The tests were attended by the head of the republic Kim Jong-un, who personally fired several shots from the new weapon. Judging by the photo, the DPRK leader was very pleased with the new weapon. The report on the shooting was published on April 5 of this year, but it is not known when it actually took place.
The new sniper rifles will be in service with the special operations forces of the Korean People’s Army.

By the way, Steyr-Mannlicher SSG 08 sniper rifles are also available in Russia, they are in service not only with the FSO, but also with the airborne forces, marines and special operations forces. They have been widely used in combat since the very beginning of special operations.

China, March 7, 2025 – China experts predict that the radical anti-China sentiment in the Trump administration will determine US policy towards China and the entire Asia-Pacific region.
