News: The elite grenade - wielding troops that would defend North Korea in war with US

The special forces were unveiled this weekend

North Korea has unveiled the Special Forces unit that would defend it in a war with the US as Kim Jong-un continues to flex his arsenal at Donald Trump.

The ‘highly-trained’ troops carried grenade-launchers and yelled patriotic slogans during a military parade as part of the nation’s Day Of The Sun celebration at the weekend.

The unit is reported to be the best equipped in the Korean People’s Army, according to the Mail Online, and were visible with night vision goggles strapped to their helmets as well as handguns on their chests.

The parade comes amid growing tensions between the US and North Korea with the state warning it was prepared for ‘all-out war’ if Donald Trump risks military action.

According to South Korean intelligence the unit would defend North Korea from elite US soldiers if war broke out.
